Yi He by Haoran Wan Receives Gold A’ Design Award in Interior Design

Yi He Urban Resort Hotel Recognized for Excellence in Interior Space and Exhibition Design

COMO, CO, ITALY, September 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The A’ Design Award has announced Yi He, a hotel interior project by Haoran Wan, as a Gold A’ Design Award winner in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category. The A’ Design Award is one of the world’s most respected and well-recognized design competitions, and the Gold distinction acknowledges work that demonstrates a high level of innovation and meaningful impact within the interior design field. Yi He was selected through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by an expert jury panel. This recognition positions Yi He as a notable example of thoughtful, culturally grounded interior design. The project reflects a sustained commitment to quality and craft throughout its conception and execution.

This recognition holds relevance for the broader interior design industry, where the demand for resort hotels that authentically reflect local culture continues to grow. Yi He responds to this trend by allowing nature to lead the design, bringing surrounding scenery into guest rooms and creating spaces that resonate with their setting. The project aligns with current standards that prioritize regional identity, guest experience, and the integration of natural and built environments. By blending Eastern and Western aesthetics, the design offers practical value to travelers and operators alike. The approach demonstrates how interior design can enhance a hotel brand while serving diverse visitor needs.

Ascending the steps from the entrance, the lobby opens dramatically, blurring the boundaries between city life and vacation time. Mountain waterfalls, garden views, and traditional residential elements such as dougong brackets and moon gates establish a symbiosis between humanity and nature. A marble landscape pattern complements a large leather carving of the Western Sea map on the wall backdrop, while a moon gate leads to a lobby bar divided by a rhododendron themed screen into a tea room and an all day dining restaurant. Green plants in white porcelain vases, blue water patterned paintings, and the red of a master chair compose a scene of mountains, water, green trees, and red flowers. Guest rooms themed by floor offer distinct experiences for business travelers, vacationers, families, and leisure seekers.

The Gold A’ Design Award recognition for Yi He may serve as a foundation for future projects that further explore the projection of regional landscape and culture into interior design. The achievement supports continued exploration of urban resort hotels with distinctive regional characteristics, where abstract modern design language integrates seamlessly with natural elements. This recognition offers motivation to pursue further refinement and innovation in hospitality interiors that honor their cultural context.
