The mountainous area of Moganshan remains unspoiled; forests of bamboo and pine, mountains studded with rising clouds, lakes and waterfalls and picturesque tea farms — all have inspired the design of Joe Lalli Resort Hotel from the outside in. Mirroring the exterior architecture by JADE+QA, the interiors are bold, organic, and alluring with their ethereal, heavenly forms. Stylus Studio found inspiration not only in materials, textures and colours native to Moganshan, but also in the design narrative of it’s past. Known as the “Shanghai Hamptons”, the aim was to entice guests back to the region — to relax and rejuvenate in style and inspire them by creating an unexpected experience using expected natural materials.
