RooMoo has planned and developed the Som Land Hostel in Shanghai, China.

Som Land, located on Shanghai's Chongming Island, is a resort space in harmony with the natural countryside and combines local customs and handicrafts.

"Regarding overall space arrangement and planning, Som Land focuses on nature and humanistic traditions," said RooMoo.

The site encounters water on both sides and is adjacent to Laoji Port and Hongmei Road, surrounded by national shelter forests and rivers.

"Therefore, properly integrating with the natural environment [was] the primary consideration in the design," added RooMoo.

This project has been longlisted in the hotel and short stay interior category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
