Yamadera
Yamadera is a hotel suite located in Jiaoxi, Taiwan, and named after a mountain temple in Yamagata, Japan. The suite covers 30 square meters and is divided by layered arch elements into three sections: foyer, resting area and bathing area. Monotone materials and low chromatic tones create a calm and enclosed atmosphere. Diatomaceous earth is mixed into the wall coating of the sleeping area to adjust the humidity around the hot spring tub. Water-resistant mineral paint is used in the bathing area. The compact layout responds to the limited floor space.
Yamadera Hotel Suite by Paradox Studio was selected as a grand illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Yamadera Hotel Suite was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award which rewards excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
