Sanlitun, The Village + The Opposite House

One of the reason I love Beijing is the mixture culture between tradition and modern. This is the new Sanlitun Village, designed by a Japnese architect Kengo Kuma. He uses green to create a sooth feel to the boutique hotel called "The Opposite House", and orange/red to s
pice up the vibrant village.

















The Village. The first Uniqlo shop in Beijing. They also have the apple store in it. 


















This is the private dining room in The Opposite House. A trendy place to host friends when they first arrive Beijing. They serve very good mediterranean food.


















This is "King's new dress". The material is a thick layer of rubber. Then, the pattern is sewed. 























This whole dress is made out of China! I love how the artist blends the elements. Incredibly creative.
