Wenbi Village, Dali, located on the east side of Erhai, facing Dali ancient city across the sea. The village is built according to the mountain, and the houses are spread out along with the mountain randomly. Compared with the densely-crowed ancient city, it is quiet and leisurely here, with excellent coastline. You can enjoy the best view of blue sky and sea, clouds, moutains, forest, sunset, flying birds... in Dali. Instead of regarding HEAVEN island as a boutique hotel，it is more like a slow-breathing monument to every moment of taking life and yourself seriously. You'll find HEAVEN island at a corner of the coastal highway, halfway up the mountain, on your drive way to Wenbi village from downtown Dali.

After a long search, the owner and the designer finally chose the current location -- a corner of the middle of the mountain, far from the hustle and bustle, without any buildings around to interfere the great view of cangshan and Erhai. It is just Like a lonely island, quietly enjoying the bounty of nature.

In order to highlight the beauty of nature as much as possible, the designer used very simple design techniques. The exterior of the building is inspired by the architectural style of houses of Bai nationality in Dali, and the white facade and gray roof are skillfully combined to maintain the neat and simple geometric sense as a whole. Designer has no intention to show off skills, however, by adding soft curve elements, the building is presented with interesting sense of rhythm. Inside, a lively atmosphere subtly contrasts with the minimalist exterior. The surprise experience from the outside in, like opening a plain wrapped mystery box, makes people so impressed and happy.

In the hotel public area, the designer uses different levels of green color，and low saturated warm color mixing, while combining various materials such as timber, metal, velvet, linen, terrazzo, green plants in proper proportion. The whole space is presented with good taste, revealing the delicate, warm, casual, friendly atmosphere. As Mr. Jiang Xun said, "People who have been in an environment for too long and are too familiar with it tend to become rigid and numb. The life force wears off, so you need to get out."And keeping a connection with nature is always an important source of human happiness. HEAVEN island is just such a place where people can recover their vitality and heal themselves，because of its balance between the beautiful natural scenery and the good taste of design.

There are only 7 guest rooms in HEAVEN island, and the layout of landscape terrace - landscape bathtub - bedroom - toilet is deep, skillfully "introducing" natural scenery into the interior space. Regarding to the window, designer abandoned the normal practice of huge windows in Dali, using the vertical long window instead. In this way, the scale of the window exposure is limited, blocking the excess sight, but giving more power to the scenery outside the window. Designer is pursuing the overall architectural aesthetic of the original and rustic pure beauty, avoiding complex colors and redundant elements. The transition from the exterior to the interior is natural and smooth,  in accord with the overall tone of simplicity, tranquility and thought-provoking.
