HOUSES IN ACTION
Origami Wall
In celebration and the refreshing of the hotel lobby in 2019, Kengo Kuma has designed a huge soft glowing "Origami" in the central Atrium as a reception wall. This object of light becomes a new landmark for the hotel guests and illuminates the entire atrium space used for art exhibitions and events. Based on a lightweight suspension structure made of acrylic plates and metal frames to maximize the light transmission, Kengo Kuma applied a translucent synthetic textile with hand-paper-like texture called Tyvek, and created a screen of light with organic texture and shades.

Eco-Friendly by Design
One of Beijing's first environmentally conscious buildings, The Opposite House takes advantage of natural light and features locally sourced reclaimed materials throughout, such as the hardwood floors. Check-in and check-out is purposefully paperless and we hope you'll explore the city using our custom bamboo bicycles.

Making Responsible Choices
We are always seeking out new ways to recycle and minimise waste. Our team has shifted to using more biodegradable materials for items such as garbage bags, while all leftover soaps are donated to Soap Cycling, an organisation which works with WASH charities across Asia to recycle and redistribute soap to underprivileged communities who need it most.

DOING OUR PART, SMALL AND BIG
Sustainability is what's good for the environment and we can make it into a healthy routine too. One small, but impactful step that people can take towards a greener future is driving cars less frequently and cycling to work instead.
