Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort

The hotel stands beside a large lake in a city long known as the house of silk and the land of plenty.

Its ring shape, mirrored in the water, reads as a bright moon rising above the lake, especially at night when interior and exterior lighting wrap the building in soft light. The clear ring posed a major structural challenge, solved with a reinforced concrete core-tube system that offers high capacity, low weight and strong earthquake resistance while reducing pollution during construction.
