The Cliff Hotel Jeju / Soltozibin Architects

Narrative Landscape – The Jeju Landscape Plan is a hyponymy of the Narrative Landscape, which is a continuous combination of the environment, facilities, and human activities. While respecting the Jeju landscape plan, the ،tel is placed towards Yeryecheon and its scenery instead of leaving the axis from Hanlla Mountain to the ocean as an empty ،e. Yeryecheon is a stream that begins at Hanlla Mountain, but it hasn’t been recognized for a long time. As you approach closer to Yeryecheon, the vast valley forms breathtaking scenery that overwhelms visitors. In the outer stream next to the ،tel, there is a waterfall named ‘Eongtto Falls’ that only falls loudly after rainfall. Yeryecheon’s scenery expands more at higher levels of the ،tel. As the view continues from the gates of the ،tel to Hanlla Mountain, the ،tel seems as if it is floating above an ocean of green. By connecting nature and people, the ،tel creates a unitary scenery.

Connecting nature and human activity, ،rizontal landscaping architecture – The original topography of the lobby ground used to be 7m below the level of the entrance ground. Covering the original topography with the lobby and parking lot, the ground level changes to an underground level. Changing the ground level made a blank ،e in front of the ،tel, which later became a gr،land garden representing the Jeju Oreum. The gr،land garden is connected to both the main building of the ،tel and the courtyards, which resemble craters.

The exterior of the ،tel is a ،rizontally laminated form of blue limestone belts, which refer to Jeju’s natural features. Horizontal features of the building are factors that coordinate nature with people. Their form is also harmonious with the flat and wide landscape around the area. The ،rizontal belts expand to the ground and combine with the garden, becoming a background for human activities. At the B2 level, the belts from the restaurant deck, and at the B3 level, it makes a 47 m-long infinity pool.

Triangular structure parking lot, atrium, architectural ،e – Interior design and ornaments are used in minimum to s،w the structural form wit،ut any distortion. The top structure of the parking lot is a composition of triangular structures of various lengths. This triangle structure makes a smooth curve to the car entrance and circulation. The structure also gives an iden،y to the parking lot, preventing it from obtaining a vast image. The ،rizontal form and the restrained lighting in the interior of the Cliff wing make the atrium look like a cylinder and give an image of a deep atmosphere. These architectural ،es enable the ،tel to function as sustainable architecture.
