Limao Mountain development fuses the clarity of form into varied landscape surrounding the local village in Lingyang, China. Terracing across the mountain top with moments of expansion and extension creates opportunities for connection both physically and visually for an otherwise un-navigable terrain.
In advance of the development of more than 1,800 vacation villas, the Limao Mountain Visitor’s Center and Marketing House set the tone and design themes for a thoughtfully designed series of luxury structures spread across 2,000 acres. Located just four hours from the hectic urbanity of Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai, the Visitor’s Center situates guests in three small buildings whose brick walls create quiet spaces free of distraction with large windows under vaulted roofs that focus views to historic villages, mountaintops. The Marketing House complex at the mountain’s crest includes a luxury hotel tower, high-end restaurant, and large multipurpose exhibition and convention facilities.
