这是由3Gatti Architecture Studio工作室设计的一个酒店项目,它不是一个普普通通的项目,设计师将很多小的房子放入在一个庞大的书架之中。低层的架子包含酒店套房。办公空间则位于书架上层。整个书架有两层的架子被省去,以容纳一个高抬的花园空间,包含周围环绕餐厅的院落。不过项目还正在等候当地政府的审批。
Rather than design a run-of-the-mill skyscraper for a new hotel in Xian, China, architects 3Gatti decided to put lots of smaller buildings on a gigantic set of shelves. Houses and apartment blocks on the lower levels of the Shelf Hotel will contain hotel suites. Office blocks will be placed nearer the top. Two shelves will be omitted from the lower part of the tower, creating an elevated garden including a courtyard surrounded by restaurants. The project is currently awaiting approval from the local authority.
