Enshi Grand Canyon Resort
The site is located in the mysterious Grand Canyon in western Hubei Province, where the local pillar-supported dwelling building of Tujia minority has distinctive local features.
The architects drew nutrients from the Tujia traditional dwellings, which included the planning pattern of the settlement, the grounding of the house, the processing of the roof, the way of the adjacent building, the type selection of the local plants and the use of the local materials.
The designers have considered about the mountain planning, slope construction, local landscape ,social care and many other aspects of the problems.
Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is located at the southwestern part of Hubei Province. According to the legend, the Tujia people are descendants of the ancient Ba people, who were Chu people during the Warring States period.
As Qin destroyed Chu, part of the Chu people fled into the deep mountains to avoid Qin, which resulted in Wuling people and hundreds of square kilometers of peach blossom recorded in the “Peach-Blossom Source”.
There exists a certain contradiction among landscape view setting, contour processing, sunshine acquisition and many other requirements for mountain buildings.
With the magnificent Enshi Grand Canyon located in the west part of the site, the architect took an adjustable local architectural skin strategy to defuse the above contradictions when facing the option between the best view and bad west orientation.
