\n On October 24, Dong Hui, Director and Principal Architect of ZNA , was invited by PLUS to lead discussions at the China Hotel Asset Management Pioneer Forum.<\/p>
She addressed the integration of vernacular culture in hospitality design, focusing on urban context, natural setting, and cultural communication. She emphasized moving beyond standard requirements to embrace site-specific inheritance, development-oriented thinking, and comprehensive implementation.<\/p>
Her approach prioritizes deep understanding of natural and cultural contexts through spatial planning, materiality, and lighting. She advocates for co-creating value with stakeholders to achieve culturally grounded, experience-driven designs that ensure long-term brand distinction through meticulous execution.<\/p>","sort":"251103","status":"1","edit_date":"2025-11-28 17:58:34","add_date":"2025-11-28 17:55:46","is_delete":"0","html":"

\n Recently, ZNA and the Tsinghua University School of Architecture Men's Football Team have established a collaborative partnership, with ZNA officially becoming the team's sponsor and providing brand new custom-designed game jerseys. Henceforth, the dynamic presence of the ZNA brand will accompany these scholars as they strive together on the green pitch.<\/p>
Though architecture and football belong to different domains, they share a common spirit\u2014both demand rigorous strategic planning, seamless teamwork, and moments of inspired brilliance. We firmly believe that the determination, perseverance, and collaboration honed on the football field are essential qualities for the architects of tomorrow.<\/p>
Through this initiative, ZNA aims to extend its spirit of "building dreams" from the architectural studio to the football field, passing it on to these future talents in architecture. This collaboration stems from ZNA's ongoing commitment to architectural education and young design talent in China. Our focus extends beyond brand visibility on the jerseys; it lies in a profound, values-driven connection with this vibrant team. We look forward to walking alongside Tsinghua SA students, supporting their professional and personal growth with expertise and steadfast companionship as they journey toward the future.<\/p>
May ZNA and the Tsinghua SA Football Team each excel in their respective fields, building brilliance together and striving for a shared future!<\/p>","sort":"251101","status":"1","edit_date":"2025-11-28 17:57:34","add_date":"2025-11-28 16:41:52","is_delete":"0","html":"

\n On April 15, 2025, Alila Dong'ao Island Zhuhai \u2014 China's first island-based Alila under Hyatt, collaboratively developed by Zhuhai Gree Island lnvestment and ZNA \u2014 was unveiled amidst the cliffs of Dong'ao Island, where the sky and sea converge in poetic harmony. ZNA Architects rejected \u201cconquering" the cliffs, instead using a humble asymptotic layout to nestle 104 ocean-view suites within weather-beaten granite textures, making architecture a chromatic extension of the terrain. The iconic 15m cantilevered infinity pool, precisely incised into basalt strata, aligns with sea level at high tide. When April\u2019s morning mist drifts through patinated bronze lattices, true luxury reveals itself not in opulence, but in the mineral dialogue between steel and stone.<\/p>","sort":"250401","status":"1","edit_date":"2025-11-28 16:48:57","add_date":"2025-04-27 16:12:20","is_delete":"0","html":"
