The hotel is tucked away in a historic Peaking alley (hutong), with its timberwork painted in colorful patterns by the royal painter of the Forbidden City. The paintings are the hotel's biggest feature and run throughout the project, and the lighting design aims to showcase the purity of traditional Peaking's character.

The "Screen Wall" is a critical architectural symbol in traditional Peaking courtyards, and the brick carvings on it reflect the status and wealth of the owner. To add to the space's mystique, we opted to illuminate the screen wall and its brick carvings using uplights, with the lights fading from bottom to top, creating a dark space for the paintings behind it.

The rooms are mostly furnished with antique Chinese-style furniture, and high-quality lighting is necessary to showcase the true color of the wood.

The guest room luminaires are arranged in the style of old Peaking, with traditional pendant lamps providing the necessary lighting and accent lighting designed in key locations to increase illumination and focus attention on artworks.

The restaurant's ceiling features Chinese-style timberwork, with linear lighting used to highlight the structure, and floor lamps utilized to supplement lighting for the rest of the space.
