Developed as a new complementary village to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games in Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, China, Elysees Ski Resort includes multiple hotels, condominiums, restaurants, shops, and other supportive services. 5G was tasked with redesigning three of the hotels that encircled the main resort plaza while the buildings were in the midst of construction. Modeled after the ski villages of the West per the Client's brief, 5G integrated the use of local materials and the local method of craft to create a set of three buildings around an urban plaza that melded the architectural traditions of the East and West.
