Instead of blasting away all of the rock to create a flat area to build on, this hotel worked with the landscape, and incorporated it into the design.

Designed by C+ Architects and Naza design studio, the Nashare Hotel is located in a tranquil forest in Xiamen, China, and in some of the hotel rooms they have worked around large boulders and rock walls, to create a natural element that is unexpected.
