Minimalist karst roost
Life moves quietly between open-air tea sessions, contemplation by the reflective pond, and watching morning mist shift across the valley.
What it’s good at
Notable
White gravel paths, bamboo screens, dark timber, and high clerestories framing craggy karst limestone peaks.

What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
It’s a beatific spot even in summer as cool mountain air is drawn in through high clerestories.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Surrounded by rice paddies and limestone spires, the hotel sits near Yulong River wharves where traditional rafts drift along the water.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames limestone summits, while interiors balance dark timber, slender four-poster beds, and deep-soaking tubs beside private balconies.
At the table
A long timber table holds ceramic teaware behind carved lattice screens, set aside for unhurried tea tastings.
How it began
Co-Direction Design reimagined a pre-existing rural structure in Jima Village, using rhythmic timber grilles and dark shale to echo the valley.
