Eco-hotel in a quarry
The Songjiang district, near the Chinese city Shangai, is a popular zone for recreation. Firm Atkins, famous for their grandiose projects, proposed a set of hotels called Songjiang. The key factor of the design is the water, that is all around the building. The hotel is created in the deep quarry and this point reflexes on a simple look. The building has also underwater parts. The roof is grassy and whole complex will use geothermal energy for an electrical supply and heating, so the interference with the nature will be smaller.

Beyond remarkable
An engineering , ecological and ecology travel feat
Wonderful! However, I wouldn’t want to stay in the rooms next to the bottom of the waterfall, COULD BE VERY NOISY 
And, where will the energy come from to pump all the water back up?
That hotel looks really good, any idea when will they begin the project? Modern Architecture is really starting to conquer the globe.
Eco-hotel in a quarry—modern architecture, an eco-friendly design..nice concept.amazing..! but i think there’s a problem with this, designing a building in a quarry. what about the force madeur??the flood, earthquake??have ever consider that?
Incredible building. Prilliant idea. But youll never find an investor for that building….Youve only got one window front. So the only way is to built it very thin and small or big —> not enough natural light….
this is the perfact example of mordern architecture.
will u send me more detail & photos of this project
thanx
