Wuxi Taihu Hotel

Looking down at Taihu Lake, the sparkling water, the colorful forests, the crowds of tourists, and the water and sky blending into one, how can one not be intoxicated. Wuxi Taihu Hotel, the “cradle of Wuxi’s tourism industry”, was built in the 1950s and was rebuilt and reopened in 2015.

It was once known as one of the top ten garden hotels in China, enjoying the gift of nature. The magnificent building has towers of different heights stretching out and undulating. You can choose rooms on different floors according to your personal preferences. The low-rise rooms are surrounded by greenery like a private garden, and the high-rise rooms overlook the lake and mountains, enjoying the first-class scenery. The courtyard is leisurely and elegant, with secluded paths, birds singing and flowers blooming… This paradise has successfully received more than 60 Chinese and foreign heads of state with first-class service. The supreme and comfortable experience is nothing else but this.

Let the tourists who stay in the hotel stroll in the corridor of the first floor lobby and feel the natural environment and elegant humanistic care of large bunches of magnolia flowers. Based on the overall environmental characteristics of the hotel lobby, JNJ mosaic designers use independent grouping themes in the pattern composition, and use the unique luster and color of ice jade mosaic materials to inlay on the dislocated stone floor with precision shearing technology combined with water jet cutting. The layers of flowers reflect the colorful waves through the crystal dewdrops, attracting bees and butterflies or clustering together for fun. Following their deliberate guidance, slowly move to the turning points and connections of each area such as the central lobby, corridors, and foyer entrances, and be fully shocked by the visual effects presented by the Lingshui magnolia flowers that come to your face and echo continuously!

Design Overview: The exquisite white magnolia, viewed from above, brings endless romantic fantasies in different appearances, injecting gentle temperament and agility. The bright colors and clear patterns of mosaics can create rich texture effects; the composition of different patterns can give the space a profound meaning.

Design highlights: This area belongs to the secondary construction plan of the original space. The original plan was to use stone for the floor. When the magnolia effect of the lobby floor mosaic and water jet inlay was presented to everyone, everyone was impressed by the beautiful composition, rich colors and exquisite craftsmanship. The hotel manager and the project department decided to remove the original laid stone and redecorate it with reference to the design elements and craftsmanship of the lobby.

JNJ Mosaic Designers consider the closed space display of the elevator itself and use a single butterfly-in-love flower as the theme. The material is also the noble and cool magnolia flower, which is elegant and free. The vivid expression of its demeanor in a limited space mainly depends on the design concept and craftsmanship. The bottom background is expressed by the irregular free-splitting craftsmanship of white mosaic material. When guests are in the elevator and enjoy the swaying magnolia flowers under their feet, they will be moved.

JNJ Mosaic designers abstracted the pattern by taking the traditional culture of “happiness, longevity and health”, and used tea, green, black, white and gray tones from the Ice Jade and Porcelain Jade series mosaics to symmetrically inlay abstract bats on the floor of each bathroom in the presidential suite. This not only implies a good fortune, but also combines the impression of traditional batik weaving.

JNJ Mosaic Designer uses magnolia as the design element, trying to find the relationship between the swimming pool and the central background wall. Two or three magnolia flowers standing proudly on the branches sway gracefully from the background wall and are cleverly reflected in the swimming pool. This is both creative and perfectly achieves further unification and sublimation of regional connections and mutual relationships in the overall space.

The new poems are too old to be heard, the deserted house in the south of the Yangtze River is separated by autumn clouds. The love remains unchanged year after year, and the eternal love for you is forever. ——Zhu Yuefan [Song of the Magnolia Flower].

The white magnolia represents beautiful flower language such as “gratitude”, “sincerity” and “purity”. It is a great gift whether given to others or kept for personal enjoyment.

JNJ mosaic designers tailor-made a unique mosaic work for Wuxi Taihu Hotel, using magnolia as the main design, freezing the most beautiful moment when the white magnolia is in full bloom, expressing its unique and sacredness that cannot be replicated with true feelings, and also expressing JNJ mosaic brand’s deep wishes for Wuxi Taihu Hotel to reopen after renovation!
