Distant Mountain

The "Distant Mountain" guesthouse in Moganshan is transformed from a residential house, with architectural renovation features that blend natural and cultural elements, presenting a unique style.
Here is a detailed introduction:

• Preserving Traditional Appearance: During the renovation, the local gray earth walls were retained, and materials unique to the countryside such as stone blocks, old wood, and thatch were extensively used for building walls, paving roads, and roofing. For example, the standalone rest area combined with a study is a perfect blend of stone blocks, thatch, and bamboo, showcasing a primitive ruggedness and pastoral simplicity.

• Incorporating Natural Elements: The guesthouse extensively uses bamboo, which is abundant in Moganshan, as exterior decoration, harmonizing with the surrounding natural environment to create an atmosphere that integrates with nature, allowing visitors to feel a strong rural vibe.

• A Blend of Rustic and Modern Interior: The interior decoration retains traditional elements such as old wooden doors, copper door knockers, ceramic jars, and wooden cabinets, while also equipped with modern facilities like warm underfloor heating, simple and comfortable beds, high-quality bathtubs, and toiletries. Each room exudes a comfortable and refined feeling with a seamless blend of rustic and modern styles.

• American Country Style Public Areas: The bar, lobby, and other public areas are designed in American country style. From sofas to fireplaces to small decorations, everything is carefully selected. The warm and romantic atmosphere contrasts with the rustic exterior of the building, adding a unique charm.
