BAR Studio designed Rosewood Beijing in 2016.

Rosewood Beijing is one of the first modern Asian/Chinese style luxury urban hotel.

It is not too decorative in modern context, but it has strong and bold shape with simple lines in the dynamic architecture and landscape. It is a mixture of modern and classic luxury with Asian Chinese accents on the art, textile, decorative panels, or in the details. It’s one of the BAR Studio’s uniqueness to mix the Asian Chinese elements in modern context through their sophisticated multicultural views and blend of Eastern & Western cultures, based out of Melbourne. While the interior objects are dynamically yet carefully placed in the public space, the guest room is set for guest to feel more intimate and relax.

As other Rosewood Hotel does, the hotel displays many of the Asian contemporary arts as well, and it makes the space unique from others.

The hotel has 283 rooms, 6 restaurants & lounges, and other facilities.

Inspired by the rich history of Chinese art and the intensity of modern Beijing, BAR Studio’s design for Rosewood’s flagship hotel in Asia draws its cues from the classical Chinese garden and traditional courtyard house, reinterpreted in a contemporary environment. Juxtapositions of spaces and materials underlie the project, with interplay between exterior and interior, the rough-hewn and refined, traditional and modern. In BAR Studio’s trademark fashion, Rosewood Beijing has a unique style that is interwoven with its cultural context.

BAR Studio has been closely involved with Rosewood Beijing since its inception, working on the development of the master-concept for the hotel, including the landscaping and all space planning, and the direction of the architectural design of the podium level, as well as taking responsibility for all the interior design. Completed 2014.
