Yang Bangsheng and Associates Group, The Golden Eagle Hotel

Yang Bangsheng and Associates Group is a renowned large-scale creative design enterprise, focused on designing interiors for high-end hospitality brands. The Group has headquarters in Shenzhen, China, and offices in New York and Paris. Yang Bangsheng and Associates Group was founded in 1997 by Mr Yang Bangsheng, a well-known hotel interior designer in the Asia Pacific.

It really is no wonder that Yang Bangsheng and Associates Group has a hotel listed for the Frame Awards 2021 – The Golden Eagle Hotel in Nanjing, China.

The Golden Eagle Hotel is located at the top of the world’s highest three-tower building in Nanjing and is also Asia’s largest commercial complex. In line with the artistic level of the landmark, it stands at a height of 368 meters to present a top-class luxury and fashionable lifestyle.

The interior design team define ‘trend’ as the establishment of common cultural cognition beyond sensory stimulation. With this design philosophy, the Yang Bangsheng and Associates Group’ designers combine Nanjing’s profound history and culture with a modern trendy lifestyle to create a brand-new upscale and stylish hotel in China.

The winding Qinhuai River has witnessed the glamour and prosperity of the city and nurtured countless backbone talents for the country. It is the most charming scenery of Nanjing as well as the source of inspiration for YANG’s design in the stylish and luxury Golden Eagle Hotel. From the profound history of Nanjing, the designer team extracts Qinhuai Culture as the design theme, which corresponds to the brand’s DNA of fashion, vitality and freedom. Modern design approaches applied in the space allow elements from both past and present to echo, mix yet collide and challenge with each other, creating a new experience of life.

INSPIRED BY THE LOOK – OREAS ARMCHAIR

For cultural expression, the design mixes historical elements with modern art to evoke emotional resonance other than sensory stimulation. Examples include the shape of ancient city walls being reflected in the copper gates of the elevator hall, and the texture of them being translated into the massive metal frames at the lobby lounge, recalling old times and ancient culture in a modern space.

Through modern materials and technology, the glinting ripples on Qinhuai River are extracted as an element adorning the exhibition atrium and lobby lounge, which delivers an elegant yet fashionable feel, whereas the shape and colour of Yuhua Stone (a local speciality) are applied in furniture, carpet and throw pillow, making the space feel carefree while vibrant. The sky loggia connecting the three towers is transformed from a public corridor into an exhibition atrium plus lobby lounge, which effectively uses the space and enriches hotel functions as well.

INSPIRED BY THE LOOK – COLOSSEUM OVAL MIRROR

The five-storey-high exhibition atrium is also a lift hall. The back of the lift shaft, directly reaching the sky lounge at the 55th floor, is equipped with a 13-meter LED screen to make the hall a pre-function area for the adjacent multi-media centre, enabling guests to experience open-style exhibitions or launch events. In the lobby lounge, guests enjoy sufficient circulation and novel F&B experience thanks to the half-open wall facing the corridor.
