Yuletide Recs

Having had two days of more or less nothing but reading fics, I come bearing recs!

First of all, my amazing gifts:

The Goblin Emperor

For Thy Principles

The nohecharei of Edrehasivar VII were unparalleled in their defense of his person, but there were limits to even their prowess. When Maia first developed the fever, Cala quickly determined that it was not the end result of a magically-based assassination attempt – and from there it had to be left to the court physicians.

Maia falls ill, and Csethiro protects him as best she can.

Beautifully gentle Maia sickfic, with Csethiro holding him together. For me all for meeee.

Benjamin January Mysteries

Dry as a Bone

“Oh. Well, I’ve been better, maestro, been a hell of a lot better to tell truth.” Shaw stared at him for a long moment, and he was stunned to see honest to God grief in his eyes. Even when Shaw had just lost his brother he had been so much more himself than this lost man currently standing before him. “Not that I mean to put anything extra on your shoulders, I’m sure you’ve got enough of your own shit going on at present moment, but it seems like I’ve just lost my job.”

Shaw loses his job, and finally confronts Ben about trust (and lack thereof) between them. It’s GREAT.

The Tarot Sequence - K.D. Edwards

A Distraction Worth Losing

They may never be together, but the gods would have to move heaven and earth to split Rune and Brand apart.

Brand, Rune and The Kiss incident. (Poor messed up babies, somebody save them.)

And fics of the collection:

17776, Astreiant, Raksura, Frederica, The Gentlemen, The Goblin Emperor, Hades, Innkeeper Chronicles, Jeeves, Kate Daniels, King Arthur the movie, My Next Life as a Villainess, Nirvana in Fire, No. 6, Psmith, The Secret Garden, The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, Swordspoint, The Tarot Sequence, Teixcalaan Series, The Temple of the White Rat verse

17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future

so far, so fast

When Manny gets a craving for some fancy meal he had once, over ten thousand years ago, Nick decides he’s gonna fulfill that craving, no matter how hard it is. Because real romance is about making the impossible happen for his husband.

Goddamn transcendental.

Go Get It

Sometimes you start out just planning to get some groceries with your husband, and next thing you know, you’re committing to join the most hopeless team in college football.

Nick and Manny decide to play. It’s perfect.

Afterlife

A young man dies six months before the end of human death; his loss saves five lives, which end up much longer than anyone expects. (A series of worldbuilding vignettes about original characters in the 17776 setting.)

Made me cry, in a very cathartic way.

Astreiant Series - Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett

April dressed in all his trim

A quiet evening in spring.

Sweet little slice-of-life with lovely sensory details.

Books of the Raksura

The Second Consort

“When Glow arrives, be friendly and welcoming,” Ember said. “Not scary.”

“Why does everyone think I’m going to scare him?”

Chime said, “They can see your face when you look at him.” He paused, glancing over at Moon. “That face, that’s the one.”

Ember sighed. “I remember being in his position. It’s pretty nerve-wracking coming to a new court and not knowing what’s going to happen to you there - whether they’re going to welcome you or shun you, whether you’ll make new friends, whether a queen is going to claim you…” He came and put a sympathetic hand on Moon’s shoulder. “Glow is probably worried about all of those things, and missing his home and clutchmates, and it’s our job to try and help him relax.” For a moment Moon thought he was just being soft-hearted, until Ember added, “He won’t open up and tell us what’s really going on unless he’s relaxed.”

Jade takes in a new consort, on Moon’s permission, and everybody is delightfully adult about it.

Frederica

Lady Alverstoke

Frederica commences her first Season as a married woman by planning a ball, promising most straitly that her husband will have nothing whatsoever to do …

Sweet and funny slice-of-life post-happy-ending for canon.

**The Gentlemen (2019) **

Even

The week after he intercepts Fletcher, that squirrelly little cunt, outside the London Miramax office, Raymond reluctantly ventures down to Brixton.

Under normal circumstances, Raymond tends to give this part of Brixton a wide berth, but he has unfinished business that needs attending to. Of course, that doesn’t mean he has to like being accosted by the overwhelming smell of greasy fish and chips when he pushes the car door open, doesn’t mean he has to be pleased about stepping into a piece of chewed-up gum the moment he sets a foot on the kerb.

But then, he can always take a shower after an errand in Brixton. The deep-seated discomfort of unfinished business doesn’t wash off that easily.

Raymond tries to pay Coach back for saving his life, and it doesn’t quite go as planned :D

The Goblin Emperor

The Archduke’s Discovery

Prince Nemolis goes on a journey, and learns a bit more than he wanted to know.

Really great point of canon divergence, and true and precise character voices.

Hades

all the spaces between us

For a place full of the dead, crammed with ghostly shades and nothing but the endless lull of eternity unchanging, gossip sure travelled fast in the Underworld.

Or, Zagreus mulls over his relationship with Thanatos while the rest of the Underworld get overly invested.

Slow, slow, slowest of burns.

Innkeeper Chronicles - Ilona Andrews

A Quick Trip

“It’ll be a quick trip,” Maud said, more to herself than to Arland. “No one will even notice we’re gone.”

Pirates are plaguing an ally, just outside of vampire space. Maud and Arland don some aesthetically beat-up armor and try to get more information from the pirates themselves. Of course, plans only last until you meet your enemy. Or your enemy’s giant alien attack boar.

Excellent canon voice, action/adventure sprinkled with badassery and hilarity.

Jeeves & Wooster

August Thirteenth

Discovering that this is not the first August thirteenth that he’s lived through, that certainly was a head scratcher. Luckily Bertie has the stalwart presence of his man’s man, Jeeves.

Very, very great and satisfying use of the time loop.

Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews

lookin’ like a snack (cake)

It took Barabas a while to figure it out, because he wasn’t used to not being taken seriously.

Barabas considered several ways to phrase it, and finally settled upon, “Do you have a thing for twinks?” Christopher knocked his head back against the headrest: once, then again. “Is that a yes?”

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

When Goosefat Bill finds himself in a difficult situation, the last thing he wants is the King to show up and “help”, in his own unique and unexpected way.

Goosefat Bill does not need to be rescued by his King. But he might just enjoy it a little.

My Next Life as a Villainess (Anime)

All I Have To Bring Today

Catarina and Sophia had been discussing the latest in the Devilish Count series, and Sophia had mentioned how romantic the surprise picnic the count had planned for his lover was and how she wished for someone to surprise her like that.

“What about you, Catarina? Have you ever wished for someone to sweep you off your feet?” Sophia had asked.

Catarina makes a choice! As sweet and as hilarious as the canon.

Nirvana in Fire

Adverse Event

What a pitiful man must he have become, if the only thing he could provoke in bed was a monologue on his character flaws.

: or, the famous strategist mei changsu plays xanatos speed chess against truth serum: the fic.

Mei Changsu gets hit with an accidental truth serum; it doesn’t stop him from lying to himself, but it does buy Jingyan a clue.

Records of the Land of Xiang

There was something of Xiao Jingyan there, in the firmness of his jaw, the unforgiving slash of his brows, and most clearly in the eyes that neither saw nor conveyed deception. But Long Zhan was not Jingyan, could never be, no matter how much Changsu might wish otherwise, because Jingyan was dead.

In service to a very-much-alive Prince Qi, Jingyan dons a Jianghu-typical disguise and infiltrates the Jiangzuo Alliance to suss out this Mei Changsu fellow and see if he might be useful in helping them re-open the Chiyan conspiracy case. Basically, a slightly ridiculous premise where everyone is running around the Jianghu with masks, multiple identities, and secret agendas.

Fascinating and fun AU scenario that delves, among other things, into Mei Changsu the jianghu chef, not Sir Su the court schemer.

suffering as I suffer you

The first time Jingyan stays the night at Su Manor, he discovers an uncomfortable truth about Mei Changsu.

Excellent extrapolation of Mei Changsu’s illness into his nightly routine - with Jingyan watching…

Here, In Our Arms

With the world put to rights, however briefly, Xiao Jingyan and Mu Nihuang take the opportunity to make a fuss over their beloved Lin Shu, and will not take no for an answer.

Sweet moment of comfort.

Find the Coals Amid the Ashes

Despite Changsu’s assertions, Lin Chen is a well brought up person. He would never violate his host’s privacy during a social call. It would be inexcusable, for example, to break into a marquis’s private alchemy lab in the middle of said marquis’s birthday party, in order to search said alchemy lab for certain hard to find medicinal herbs, which one has reason to believe can be found therein. These would be the actions of a man without honour, of a man who has only desperation to his name.

Lin Chen crashes a party and makes a new friend.

The best team up ever :D

Dead Letters

Mei Changsu isn’t the only schemer in Da Liang.

Fei Liu fixes things, in the most Fei Liu way imaginable, and it’s great.

No. 6

All Good Things

In the midst of a crisis for No. 6, Nezumi returns to Shion’s side.

A reunion! And cuddling.

Psmith

The Psky Is The Limit

“As this ship’s Orator, my mission is still as it was in the beginning and shall ever be, world without end. It is to hail any message sent by comrades from outer space and pass it on to you verbatim. Well! The hour, I say, has come. The Word has come into being. Here comes Psmith, bearing news of great mirth: the intercom has spoken.”

(A Mike and Psmith Space AU)

Psmith in space! Hysterically funny Psmith in Pspace, at that.

Psmith Pops In

Psmith reached over and solicitously loosened Mike’s scarf, his fingers brushing the skin of Mike’s neck, and that young man, to his horror, felt heat creeping up from where gloved fingers brushed his bare skin. Really, this blushing nonsense was getting out of hand. Ever since Psmith had tried to take the blame in the case of the painted dog, Mike had developed an inexplicable habit of turning hot and cold around him, and these odd responses had become more and more frequent.

Very funny! And then very tragique! And then jussssst right.

The Secret Garden

The Space Garden

When Meri La Nix was sent from the Mars colony to live with her aunt at Missiles Wait Manor, nobody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. But some of them thought it.

Beautifully inventive space retelling - with gardens, still.

The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty

The sky spinning above him

In which there’s a jewellery thief on the loose, Tang Fan plays dress up, gets a mild concussion and also a boyfriend.

Frothy, sweet, well-grounded and hot. Also hilarious (check the end note!)

truth in fiction

Three days after Wang Zhi leaves the capital, bits and pieces of his extensive library begin arriving at Sui Zhou’s house.

Sui Zhou is really committed to research and accuracy in Tang Fan’s porn. It’s delightful.

Time don’t fool me no more

“The electrician is a Tang dynasty spy,” he says, dumping some of his eggs in Tang Fan’s bowl.

Tang Fan nods, shovels more food in his mouth, and starts talking again.

Past or future, Tang Fan has Priorities. And Sui Zhou is weak.

Meeting at the End

Sui Zhou knew he never should have let Tang Fan go alone. He knew he should have gone with him.

Really, really great and desperate whump. Super satisfying.

clever boy

Tang Fan never spares a smile for any of the girls at Wang Zhi’s establishment, he’s noticed. That’s alright, though. It means Wang Zhi gets his attention for himself.

Wang Zhi falling, falling hard; it’s delightful.

a bold and brilliant sun

“You’re sure you didn’t do something to it? They don’t usually stall out,” Sui Zhou says. He looks away from Tang Fan, out the windshield at the endless rust-red of the planet.

Tang Fan pouts at this, and slumps down on the edge of the console, feet propped up at an absurd angle against the pilot’s seat. “You think I’d fake a mechanical issue just so that they’d send a sexy Fleet crewman out here to rescue me?” As soon as the words are out of his mouth, he giggles. “Okay, I would do that, but I promise that this time the problem is real.”

Space AU! Most excellent space AU condensing all there is to love about the canon in one perfect package.

Blind Taste Test

Wang Zhi invites Tang Fan to evaluate Joyous Brothel’s chefs — but it’s Tang Fan and Sui Zhou who are really being tested.

Wang Zhi, ever helpful :)

Authorial Intent

Sui Zhou and Tang Fan end up in hot water yet again. Kinky sex ensues.

Hilarious, kinky, heartfelt, and in character.

Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner

Chrysopoeia

It struck Alec that this would have been much easier if their positions were reversed. Richard would have known what to do if he’d been dragged back here with a hole in his gut. He was quite simply not supposed to be the one on this end of the equation. In fact, it was possible he had done something very bad to deserve this.

Richard is wounded, and Alex is coping. Excellent h/c and excellent bloodplay and sharp, painful slice of Alex’ POV, excellently rendered.

At first — this was just like him — he thought he was hearing god. But it was only the man in the bed, whose face had turned toward him on the ragged pillow.

The Tarot Sequence - K.D. Edwards

Third’s a Charm

Addam asks a favor of Brand.

Addam asks Brand for help, which ends up being exactly what Brand and Rune need.

Pretty good

Five times Brand crawls into Rune’s bed and one time Rune crawls into Brand’s.

Brand and Rune, through the years.

Teixcalaan Series - Arkady Martine

Also in the Act of Reaching

When Three Seagrass arrived at Lsel Station, she was, officially at least, traveling as a private personage. She had missed Mahit and the possibilities they’d both chosen to turn away from. She also had– would always have– a gaping hole in her life where Petal had once stood.

It was simply that, left on her own, Three Seagrass wouldn’t have let either absence drag her to the ass-end of beyond.

Reunion, metaphors and realigment. Subtle and clever and just right.

The (concept of the) World Was Wide Enough

Yskandr Aghavn comes to the world like a drowning man comes to shore, but he is living on borrowed time. Teixcalaan has so many wonderful things to choke on.

Teixcalaan has had his heart for all of his life, has elevated him, corrupted him, and discarded him.

It is Lsel that he thinks of as he dies.

Temple of the White Rat Universe - T. Kingfisher

If Grace Is Too Much

Zale is given a case by Bishop Beartongue which turns out to be more complicated and personal than a holy advocate-priest would prefer.

Clever and sweet and carefully shocking, but in a very right way.

Outreach

“We don’t generally assess the… cursédness… of objects, trees or otherwise,” Beartongue said.

Utterly delightful.

1987. Lan ProSpa, Ningbo City

3 Nov 2021

Design: JACKY. W DESIGN (JWD)

Location: No. 3, Lane 281, Heqing North Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China

A Hidden Urban Retreat

Nowadays, most urbanites share a fast-paced lifestyle and sub-optimal health status. 1987. Lan ProSpa is situated in Eastern New Town in Ningbo City, China, a newly developed CBD. The L-shaped “glass box” near street designed by Jacky. W Design provides a hidden urban retreat to slow down the fast pace of life.

Wooden grilles are usually reminiscent of holiday huts on the seaside or cliff. As sunlight passes through the grilles at different times of the day, varying light and shadows are cast on the reception lobby. The subtle arrangement of grille panels weakens the visual interference from outdoor street. Green plants are brought into the interior. The sound of sea breeze, rustle of shaking leaves and birds’ chirping is played through the sound imitation device, and echoes in the overall space.

The floor area by the French window is paved with sands and stones, offering customers in the lobby a natural experience. Inside the “box” enclosed by wooden grilles, customers can comfortably sit on the pure-colored sofas, and enjoy the play of light and shadows, musical sounds and pleasing visual, gustatory experiences, hence being immersed in nature and inner peace.

Flickering candlelight dancing at night

When the night falls, candles on the low grille panels are lit up. Complemented by dim lighting, the flickering candle lights dance like beautiful fireflies in the lobby.

Distinct from light and shadows in the daytime, the candlelight serves as the main atmospheric light source for the lobby at night, bringing people into the tranquil night atmosphere.

The island-style reception desk is placed at the center of the lobby, acting as a visual focus. The brand image display backdrop wall is arranged at its back.

Behind the backdrop wall are tea room, dressing room and skin testing area, which not only provide auxiliary functions, but also indicate spa steps and well integrate with surrounding landscape.

Emphasis on users’ perception and experience to relieve restlessness The long passage that leads from the comfortable, soft reception lobby to the independent, private spa rooms centers on users’ spatial perception and experience rather than eye-catching forms or dazzling lighting.

The dark semi-polished tiles with lychee-like surface and wooden veneer panels set a calming, cozy tone for the space. The functional designs around spa bed are based on customers’ convenience and use.

The professional lighting mode creates a soft, relaxing atmosphere. The overall space provides a short urban holiday experience as leisurely as in a seaside resort hotel.

OPPO PARTNERS WITH FC BARCELONA TO LAUNCH ‘GO FOR IT’

Brazilian art director Fabio Caveira is joining AD STARS 2020 as a Final Judge, and he has just revealed his first major campaign for OPPO China’s in-house agency since joining in 2019.

To celebrate its five-year partnership with FC Barcelona, OPPO has launched “Go for it” – a campaign designed to promote smartphone brand OPPO in Western Europe by encouraging all of us to get out of our comfort zone.

Senior creative Fabio Caveira teamed up with fellow Brazilian Alexandre Bonfim, senior copywriter, to create the campaign, which encourages people to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goals.

“It's about not thinking too much, just doing whatever it takes to achieve your dreams,” Caveira told AD STARS.

In the commercial we see a young FC Barcelona fan dribbling her way to victory, casting off naysayers and self-doubt as she prepares to join a men’s match. The TVC features OPPO’s Find X2, which is available in around 10 European markets.

“While current market conditions and cancellation of live events have taken a toll on the global sports sponsorship market, OPPO’s recommitment to our long-standing alliance with FC Barcelona is a signal of our brand’s momentum in the region broadly, and importantly, our encouragement of fans to pursue their dreams despite the unknowns,” said William Liu, OPPO Vice President, Global Marketing.

“An established partnership like this demonstrates that just like FC Barcelona is more than a Club, so is OPPO more than a smartphone company.”

The campaign includes 2 films, online and brand activations, where everything happens in the virtual world.

It’s been a huge year for OPPO, with OPPO opening its European headquarters in Germany in May. According to Canalys data, OPPO cracked into the top five smartphone brands in Europe in the first quarter of 2020.

You’ll never know – until you try. Watch it here:

Mimicking stock market manipulators is a popular investment strategy in China

You will only truly understand the wild gyrations in China's stock exchange by researching the strategies of those that successfully manipulate it.

That's the incredible sales pitch of Liu Xiaozhen, CEO at Qingdao Langwang Investment Consulting, who provides investors a crash program on the best ways to make money from stock exchange control by resembling the actions of those who do it.

According to Bloomberg, the three-month course is just one of at the very least 100 throughout the nation that guarantee insight into Zhuang Jia, a regional term for market manipulators that portrays them as holding the top hand.

The technique, completely lawful, urges financiers to trade in stocks that are targets of Zhuang Jia, teaching them to make money from the boom-bust cycles that often go along with stock exchange adjustment.

A form of snakes and ladders, if you will. Capitalists get into to stocks that are rallying hard on presumed control and also after that offer, hopefully prior to others do the same.

It's a risky method, however one that several less-experienced as well as less-educated capitalists have actually adopted - both during the epic bull market seen previously this year as well as in current months following its just as amazing collapse.

The graph over, supplied by Bloomberg's Tom Orlik on Twitter, reveals the education and learning degrees of brand-new investors in China's stock market as of April this year.

According to the research, 5.8 % of all new capitalists couldn't review. Over two thirds had an equal education degree of junior high institution or much less. An absence of formal education, as well as investing encounter, caused herd-like behaviour with stocks regularly rallying hard as financiers followed the activities of others instead of using more standard financial investment strategies like principles or technicals.

While numerous of those capitalists most likely suffered significant monetary losses as Chinese markets near-halved between mid-June to mid-August this year, it appears that the exact same strategy of complying with the actions of others - in this case market manipulators - is still preferred amongst capitalists.

Although programs such as the one offered by Liu are totally legal, Chinese authorities are attempting to stop widespread manipulation of stocks at its resource - apprehending, interrogating as well as penalizeding numerous high profile money mangers in the nation in current months.

According to Bloomberg, the China Stocks Regulatory Commission - China's stock exchange regulator - imposed a $19.9 million yuan fine in September on Ye Fei, one of the country's most widely known bush fund supervisors, after stating he adjusted 5 stocks earlier this year.

Xu Xiang, an additional high profile Chinese hedge fund supervisor, was also apprehended by cops in November.

While those actions are targeting the personal sector, choices taken by the government throughout this year's stock market thrashing - something that wiped around $5 trillion from the value of Chinese recognized companies - help clarify why seeking indications of stock market manipulation remains a preferred financial investment approach, as well as not just from neighborhood capitalists.

Some international capitalists, rather compared to grinding information on revenues and also stock evaluations to come up with investment methods, actively imitated the actions of China's so-called 'national team'- a group of state-backed banks that were tasked with propping up share costs in the height of the marketplace rout.

To some, the activities unintentionally motivated temporary investing patterns that intensified market motions as investors competed to purchase stocks presumed to be the target of government-backed buying.

Although the assistance of the national group has actually currently decreased, it reinforced short-term reasoning amongst investors with believed control, as opposed to much more sophisticated financial investment techniques, driving financial investment decisions.

It additionally strengthened the idea that the federal government will certainly intervene in the marketplace themselves must costs move beyond a variety they feel comfortable with.

With that form on the board, it's little marvel why Chinese financiers continue to favour dangerous methods - more akin to a casino compared to a financial investment market - compared to those made use of in various other, more well established investment markets.

项目背景 Project Background

Bob Chen及团队完成了乌镇一个近万平米的百年村落改造项目—乌镇谭家·栖巷自然人文村落。谭家·栖巷是乌镇第一家村落型设计酒店，致力社区化生活美学体验，在地性自然人文休闲。

Bob Chen Design Office completed a 100-year-old village reconstruction project — Tan Alley • Wuzhen Eco and Cultural Community. Tan Alley is the first village renovation boutique design hotel in Wuzhen, which is dedicated to create aesthetic community experiences as well as local ecological and cultural immersion.

项目团队由设计、策划、酒店管理与艺术家组成，包括跨文化沟通专家。Bob Chen 担当了从视觉设计到建筑规划、空间设计、室内装饰、以及景观改造等核心设计环节。项目分三期进行。第一期主导项目以设计酒店为主，将都市的个性审美与品质体验贯穿在静态建筑与动态场景之中，旨在成为可容纳、整合以往所有设计探索及经验、且激发更多可能性的阶段标杆。

The project team consists of designer, planners, hotel management, artists, and cross-cultural communication experts. Bob Chen takes on all core design steps from visual design, architectural planning, spatial arrangement, interior decoration, and landscaping. The project will be carried out in three phases. The first phase of the project focused on the hotel, urban aesthetics and luxury experiences all combined into both solid architecture and dynamic scenes. These integrate Bob Chen’s design exploration and experience as well as stimulating future possibilities.

谭家栖巷，是一个既定范畴内进行的村落改造，建筑空间的设计被限定在区域规划和传统语境之中。因此我们认为需要一个“由内向外”的设计策略，重点在立面和肌理、内容与场景上进行微观改造或突破，探究都市高品质个性化生活方式，如何与乡镇松弛度的隐性融合。

Tan Alley is a village reconstruction project. The design of the architectural space is constrained by regional planning and traditional context. Therefore, we needed a “from the inside out” design strategy, focusing on micro-transformation or breakthrough in the façade, texture, content, and scene, exploring high-quality personalized urban lifestyle, and how to smoothly blend with the town.

规划纲要Goals of Planning 遵循古镇总体保护开发规则，保留村落形态，将15幢旧村屋统一外观基础上进行修复与协调，赋予传统民居更多当代建筑景观语言，满足从餐饮、酒店到文化交流等多元休闲功能。以水为元素贯穿，保留原生植被，增加院景巷径，容开放与隐秘，变无序为有机，创造一个既提供酒店客人专享私密空间又向公众开放的人文社区。

We followed the general protection and development rules for Wuzhen, preserved the village form, repaired and coordinated the unified appearance of 15 old village houses, provided additional contemporary architectural language to traditional dwellings, and satisfied modern leisure needs in restaurant, hotel and culture by incorporating multi-functionality. We highlighted water, preserved original vegetation, and increased the winding paths among courtyards. Besides, we combined openness and privacy, considered disorder as organic, so as to create a humanistic community that provides exclusive privacy for hotel guests that yet remains open to the public.

栖，一种动态的社交；巷，一种多业态的社区形态。顾名思义，谭家栖巷是一个融社交和社区化的酒店品牌。设计需要从室内空间、软装、产品及视觉营造都市品质多元的场景体验，从形式到感官促进江南古镇乡土与现代生活方式深度交融。

Habitat is a space of dynamic social interaction; Alley is a form of diverse community. As the name suggests, Tan Alley is an interactive and community-focused hotel brand. The design creates diverse, superlative, urban scenes from interiors, furnishings, products, forms and sensory experiences to promote a deep integration of Jiangnan locality and modern lifestyle.

时间的质感 The Texture of Time 通过减法，我们在谭家栖巷将物质、材料背后的历史表情尽可能降低，以尺度、关系、感官、秩序等手法建构全新的空间与物体语言，从个性客房到公共区域，从家具、灯饰到饰品，通过物质与空间的多元融合中高度体现对“时间质感”的意象追求。来到谭家栖巷，人们可以从古镇沉重的、固有的、标准化的传统语境中获得解放，也能瞬间从都市的紧张与高压中逃逸。

Through reductionism, we reduce the historical expression behind the materiality and the materials in Tan Alley as much as possible. We construct a new space and object language of scale, relationship, sense, and order everywhere: from individual rooms to public areas, from furniture and lighting. This integration of matter and space reflects our pursuit of “the texture of time”. Upon arriving at Tan Alley, people can be liberated from the heavy, rigid, standardized, context of an ancient town, and escape from the tension and high pressure of the city.

非常规空间 Unconventional Space 我们提供“非常规”、“非传统”、“非西化”的空间体验，大堂中空预留的橱窗，大面积带柔性转角的金属墙面，从不会直射的光源，在沉静质朴的水磨石地面上悠悠闪光的铜线条，这些独有元素，与司空见惯的传统空间语言有着距离，在友善渐进中营造陌生的熟悉感。

We provide experiences of “unconventional”, “non-traditional” and “non-westernized” spaces. Lobby spaces with sky windows, large metal walls with flexible corners, indirect light sources, and copper lines in calm, simple, water-polished floors sparkling in the light: these unique elements provide distance from commonplace, traditional spatial language while also gradually creating familiarity.

酒店大堂内一系列定制家具，包括独立设计匠人定制的灯具，以丰富造型语言与厚重且质朴的立面、地面形成视觉韵律，如音符般呈现出非现实时空感。

A range of customized furniture in the hotel lobby, including specially-made lamps by independent designers, form a visual rhythm in counterpoint to the thick and partial vertical and horizontal surfaces. These visual notes compose space that flows as a serendipitous song of time.

38间客房30种户型 38 Rooms, 30 Styles 村落改造中最大的设计难题是，所有客房都需要基于原有村居民舍空间结构更新。既然是设计酒店，非标化顺理成章为主题，由此产生了从标间、套房、loft到独院等多样客房户型，谭家栖巷也因此成为乌镇最多户型客房的设计酒店，为客人们提供了超越想象的入住体验。

Village renovation was the toughest design difficulty. All rooms need to be updated based on the spatial structure of the original village residents. As a design hotel, non-standardization is our theme. This has resulted in a variety of room types ranging from standard rooms, suites, lofts to single-family homes. Tan Alley has become the design hotel with the most large-sized rooms in Wuzhen. We provide our guests a superlatively imaginative stay experience.

村落中的都市场景体验 Urban Experiences in a Village 与不同户型匹配，精��设计师品牌、国际设计品牌家具，与德国高端床品、卫浴合作，为不同房型客房多层次结合现代简约美学与品质休闲，营造出乎意料的都市高端舒适家居场景，而这一切则隐隐在村落之中。

The rooms are different with selected designer brands, international design brand furniture, German high-end bedding products, and bathing accessories combine with unique modern minimalist aesthetics and quality leisure experiences, creating an unexpectedly urban, high-end, comfortable, home away from home. All are hidden within Tan Alley.

回顾与总结 Review and summary 在谭家栖巷，我们不仅仅是建筑、室内、产品和视觉的设计师，更成为场景创造者、业态连接者与生活方式缔造者。有幸与价值认同的业主合作，通过个案实践，以美学为轴心，以场景体验为根本，跨艺术设计与旅居生活之界限，集休闲、时尚与文化等综合业态，通过物质与空间对时间质感多维表达，通过当代性与在地性对话，将百年老村脱胎换骨，成为古镇一处拥抱未来新地标。

At Tan Alley, we are not only designers of architecture, interior, products and vision, but have also become scene imaginers, business connectors and lifestyle creators. Fortunately, we cooperate only with renowned, quality enterprises, on a real-life case by case basis. We take aesthetics as our axis and an experiential approach to space as our foundation.

We cross the boundaries between art design and residential life, integrating leisure, fashion and culture. We express the texture of time through material and space. Through this dialogue between the contemporary and the local, a century-old community has been transformed into a new landmark in the ancient town ready to embrace the future.
