The Waterhouse _ Shanghai


The four story, 19 bedroom boutique hotel The Waterhouse was built into an existing 1930's Japanese army headquarters.  Facing the Huangpu River and overlooking the Pudong skyline, the architectural concept was based on the contrast of old and new. While the outside of the building has been restored, some additions using Cor-teen steel are to reflect the old docking history of Huangpu River.

Blurring and inversion of exterior and interiors, public areas provide glimpses into private areas. Vertical room windows above the reception, corridor windows overlooking the dining rooms
