Vector Architects converts an old sugar mill into a hotel retreat of magnificent craftsmanship 🌿 Designed by @vectorarchitects Images: Su Shengliang / Chen Hao / Vector Architects / Alila Yangshuo Located in Yangshuo region of China, the site for Alila Yangshuo is surrounded by verdant landscape of limestone hills and manoeuvring Li River, as it makes its way through its flood plains and towering giants. Once used as a sugar mill factory, the site had fallen in despair before being bought by the Alila group to develop a property, offering the guest a chance to immerse themselves in the landscape and amazing natural sights this region has to offer. The project site located on a 1960s old factory complex is sandwiched between a busy road on one side and expansive landscape on the other. To work on the project, Vector Architects was brought on board to build a hotel which is holistically designed and environmentally friendly. Initial discussion led to the decision of restoring the sugar mills and refurbishing them as part of the project. The old structure and the bursting limestone hills became the inspiration for the project as a way to build something new while acknowledging the past. #chinaarchitecture #resort #adaptivereuse #adaptivereusearchitecture #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturedesign #architecturephoto #architecturedetail #arquitetura #arquiteto #arquiteturaedecoração #arquitecturamoderna #modernarchitecture #contemporaryarchitecture #sustainabledesign #sustainablearchitecture #greenarchitecture #refurbished #hoteldesign #interiordesign #hotelinterior #hotelinteriordesign #resortdesign #resortarchitecture #sustainabletravel #ecotravel #ecotraveller Follow #designstudiomag 🤝 @designstudio_mag https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDuGiYNIuP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Director

The Historic Barn and Farm Foundation of PA (HBFF) appointed Quarry View’s own Paul Bahn, as a Board Director. Paul has been an instrumental part of Quarry View’s success with recent barn restoration and adaptive reuse projects. Paul will expand his circle of influence to the HBFF, though he still continues to collaborate with clients to achieve unique restoration and reuse goals, architect partners for distinguished designs, and our internal team & subcontractors for quality workmanship. Like Quarry View, this non-profit organization values the preservation of PA’s historic barns and farms. The website states that the foundation is, “dedicated to providing educational resources for the long-term preservation, protection, and documentation of historic barns in Pennsylvania, and the agricultural heritage of the Commonwealth.” We are proud to have Paul on the Quarry View team and we are excited to see the contributions he will make as the newest director with HBFF!

Really like how this project turned out with its forms, materials and construction techniques. @fultojd @bamboogrovellc #adaptivereusearchitecture #alabamaarchitecture #birminghamarchitecture #vernaculardesign #modernfarmhouse #salvagedmaterials #commercialrealestate #available #masterbuilder #minimaldwelling #panorama #homewood #alabama #auburnarchitecture #designbuild (at Homewood, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Xuy6cBZJx/?igshid=179ehckjaufhd
