Gongliu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China

A desert-edge sanctuary where clay, light, and silence compose a timeless rhythm.

Nestled in the pastoral expanse of Ili Kazakh, Sun-Dried Harmony draws inspiration from the tactile warmth of earthen architecture and the poetic stillness of its natural surroundings. The retreat balances vernacular humility with refined modernity — a seamless dialogue between material honesty and spatial serenity.

The architecture unfolds in sun-washed tones of ochre and sand, blending effortlessly with the steppe horizon. Interiors continue the dialogue through a palette of natural wood, woven textures, and soft stone. Each suite is designed as a cocoon of calm — where daylight diffuses across textured plaster, grounding guests in a meditative rhythm of stillness and simplicity.

Outdoor terraces shaded by timber pergolas open toward the courtyard pool, framing views of distant hills and low native vegetation. The space blurs boundaries between architecture and landscape, evoking the timeless ease of rural life reinterpreted through a contemporary eye.
