Hi Sea Floating Hotel

Hi Sea

Hi Sea is a floating hotel located in the sea near Dongshan Island, Fujian, China, 500 meters from the coastline. The 500 square meter structure contains a living room, three guest rooms and a kitchen, and only one group of guests is received at a time. Large foldable glass walls open the interior to the seascape, and warm wood tones set the tone inside. The roof uses corrosion-resistant materials common in airport terminals and yachts, and the outdoor deck is made of weather-resistant flooring. Buoyancy was calculated using fish raft construction technology.

Hi Sea Floating Hotel by Xinmeng Dong was recognized as an exceptional illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Hi Sea Floating Hotel received the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design award which celebrates outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
