Three Jewels on the Sea - Xia Zhi Island​
Zhoushan, China
Status: Master Plan
The 3 Jewels on the Sea are public attractions that collaborate closely together as one cooperative enterprise, sharing the same philosophy – generating local prosperity through ecologically minded tourism. A win win for all – for the local people, visitors & the island ecology.
The Butterfly Lighthouse and the Valley Inn are landscape buildings, nested into old Henicao village, and inspired by the colourful flora of the island (Pink Blanket Flower, White Wild Carrot, Yellow Coreopsis) that blossom from terraces of yellow sandstone and grey limestone.
Total GFA: 4,500 sqm
