Commune by the Great Wall

The Commune by the Great Wall (Chinese: 长城脚下的公社) is a SOHO China-managed boutique hotel, in Beijing, China.

Description

The Commune by the Great Wall is near the Badaling section of the Great Wall. The Commune consists of private villas designed by twelve Asian architects. Its clubhouse and villas are in a valley totaling eight square kilometers. It also houses corporate functions, weddings, film shoots, and fashion shows. Its furniture and interior decoration were designed by Serge Mouille, Philippe Starck, Karim Rashid, Matthew Hilton, Marc Newson, and Michael Young.

Awards

The hotel's architecture was exhibited at La Biennale di Venezia in 2002 and bestowed a special prize. Zhang Xin, the project's creator and investor, was recognized for her “bold personal initiative.” Centre Pompidou, in Paris, houses the exhibited model, as its first permanent collection from China.
