Implementation

Considering to provide a customized private accommodation experience for single families and couples, the owner decided to use the starry sky to create a small accommodation unit after comparison and consultation. A platform deep in the path was chosen to build a glamping hotel.
The design team took "the combination of urban form and natural landscape" as the entry point of the Cedar Falls Hotel. The landscape design takes full advantage of the natural topography of the site and implements ecological concepts as a solid strategy. On the other hand, various Spaces and connections are presented and created in different aspects, forming a sense of rhythm and hierarchical landscape system strategy.

Challenge
1/Overcoming Terrain Challenges: Customized Solutions for a National Park Location
The glamping hotel's location near a national park presented an unprecedented challenge to our work. The park plot is undulating mountain, most of the space height difference is steep, walkability and accessibility is very low. The gentle areas that can be used as park activities are very limited.
The project site has strict restrictions on material transportation and construction activities, requiring us to ensure the smooth progress of the project without causing damage to the site. Therefore, our professional technical team thoroughly studied the irregular terrain information provided by the customer, and customized the non-standard platform solution for the specific environment.
We know that in such a beautiful natural environment, every step of construction needs to be carefully arranged to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment. Our solutions are designed to help clients build solid platforms in difficult terrain, thus laying a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of projects.
2/ Environmental Integration: Olive Green Cloth Covering for Sphere Structure Protection
During the specific implementation of the project, due to the dense forest surrounding the project site, its fallen leaves may cause pollution to external facilities such as the sphere structure used in the project and affect the viewing effect.
To combat this problem, we recommend the use of olive green cloth covering, which not only better integrates with the surrounding natural environment, but also effectively keeps the structure clean, reducing the number of maintenance work and reduce the difficulty of maintenance work.
Glamping dome is built in accordance with the principles of nature, respecting the characteristics of the site, the natural landscape and the ecosystem, Cedar Falls Hotel and Spa to achieve the balance of development and ecological protection of resources. Minimize the negative impact of the project construction on the topography and vegetation community, and create a comfortable, fresh and favorable environment for tourists.
3/ Ensuring Smooth Installation: Professional Technical Guidance and Support
In addition, considering that the client is not a professional construction team, there are certain concerns about the overall installation, including the platform construction and the spherical accommodation. To this end, we provide professional technical guidance and after-sales support. Our goal is to ensure that we help our customers with the necessary maintenance and operational knowledge so that they can complete their installation smoothly and efficiently. Our team works with our customers to the best of their ability to ensure they feel at ease throughout the installation process.
