大理文筆村，位于洱海東側，與大理古城隔海相望。村落臨海依山而建，房舍隨著山勢鋪開，錯落有致。相較于煙火熱騰的古城，這里靜謐悠然，有著絕佳的海岸線——大理的藍天碧海、云卷云舒、蒼山茂林、飛鳥落霞......盡收眼底。與其說空島?半山是一間民宿，倒不如說它像一座緩慢呼吸的紀念碑，紀念的是認真生活、認真對待自我的每一個瞬間。從大理市區驅車前往文筆村，你會在沿海公路的一處轉角，與半山腰上的空島?半山遠遠地打個照面。

Wenbi Village, Dali, located on the east side of Erhai, facing Dali ancient city across the sea. The village is built according to the mountain, and the houses are spread out along with the mountain randomly. Compared with the densely-crowed ancient city, it is quiet and leisurely here, with excellent coastline. You can enjoy the best view of blue sky and sea, clouds, moutains, forest, sunset, flying birds... in Dali. Instead of regarding HEAVEN island as a boutique hotel，it is more like a slow-breathing monument to every moment of taking life and yourself seriously. You'll find HEAVEN island at a corner of the coastal highway, halfway up the mountain, on your drive way to Wenbi village from downtown Dali.

主人和設計師經過漫長的尋找，最終選定了如今的位置——半山的一處轉角，遠離喧囂、四周亦無任何建筑遮擋，蒼山洱海盡收眼底。正如一座遺世獨立的小島，靜謐自得地獨享著大自然的美好饋贈。

After a long search, the owner and the designer finally chose the current location -- a corner of the middle of the mountain, far from the hustle and bustle, without any buildings around to interfere the great view of cangshan and Erhai. It is just Like a lonely island, quietly enjoying the bounty of nature.

為了盡可能地凸顯自然之美，設計師采用了非常質樸的設計手法。建筑外部從大理白族民居的建筑風格中汲取靈感，將白色立面和灰色屋面巧妙糅合，保持建筑整體利落簡潔的幾何感，佐以柔和的曲線元素，不炫技，卻又不失饒有趣味的韻律感。進入建筑內部，卻是與極簡外觀有著微妙反差的活潑氛圍。由外入內的驚喜體驗，就像打開一個包裝樸素的盲盒，讓人眼前一亮，心生歡喜。

In order to highlight the beauty of nature as much as possible, the designer used very simple design techniques. The exterior of the building is inspired by the architectural style of houses of Bai nationality in Dali, and the white facade and gray roof are skillfully combined to maintain the neat and simple geometric sense as a whole. Designer has no intention to show off skills, however, by adding soft curve elements, the building is presented with interesting sense of rhythm. Inside, a lively atmosphere subtly contrasts with the minimalist exterior. The surprise experience from the outside in, like opening a plain wrapped mystery box, makes people so impressed and happy.

在酒店的公區，設計師采用了不同層次的綠色和暖色的低飽和色彩混搭，原木、金屬、絲絨、亞麻、水磨石、綠植等豐富材質以恰到好處的比例組合，讓空間呈現出不流于俗的品味，處處彰顯著精致而又溫馨、隨意、親切的生活感。正如蔣勛先生所說：“人在一個環境太久了，太熟悉了，容易變得僵化與麻木。生命力會慢慢消失，所以需要出去走走。”而與自然保持連接，始終是人獲得幸福的重要源泉。空島?半山正是這樣一個可以讓人在絕美的自然風光與妥帖的美學空間之間，找回生命力、療愈自我的場域。

In the hotel public area, the designer uses different levels of green color，and low saturated warm color mixing, while combining various materials such as timber, metal, velvet, linen, terrazzo, green plants in proper proportion. The whole space is presented with good taste, revealing the delicate, warm, casual, friendly atmosphere. As Mr. Jiang Xun said, "People who have been in an environment for too long and are too familiar with it tend to become rigid and numb. The life force wears off, so you need to get out."And keeping a connection with nature is always an important source of human happiness. HEAVEN island is just such a place where people can recover their vitality and heal themselves，because of its balance between the beautiful natural scenery and the good taste of design.

酒店只有7間客房，采用景觀露臺-景觀浴缸-臥室-洗手間的縱深式布局，將蒼山洱海巧妙地“引入”建筑內部。在窗戶的處理上，設計師摒棄了大理很多大面積落地窗的做法，采用水平長窗的設計手法。這樣的做法，限制了窗戶露出的尺度，遮擋多余視線，反而賦予窗外風景更多的力量。除了整體建筑追求原生和質樸的純粹美感，沒有復雜的色彩和多余的元素。從建筑外部到室內客房的過渡也自然流暢，延續著簡練、寧靜又耐人尋味的整體基調。

There are only 7 guest rooms in HEAVEN island, and the layout of landscape terrace - landscape bathtub - bedroom - toilet is deep, skillfully "introducing" natural scenery into the interior space. Regarding to the window, designer abandoned the normal practice of huge windows in Dali, using the vertical long window instead. In this way, the scale of the window exposure is limited, blocking the excess sight, but giving more power to the scenery outside the window. Designer is pursuing the overall architectural aesthetic of the original and rustic pure beauty, avoiding complex colors and redundant elements. The transition from the exterior to the interior is natural and smooth, in accord with the overall tone of simplicity, tranquility and thought-provoking.
