Boutique hotel blends private and public space

Situated on the South Bund in Shanghai, the boutique hotel Waterhouse blends private and public space, while giving visitors a view of the Pudong skyline.

Glass is used not only as windows, to give guests a panoramic view of the Bund and Pudong skyline, but also as walls, offering people on the street a peek inside.

The 19-room hotel is operated by the Singaporean hotel group Unlisted Collection. According to the hotel's website, the original dockyard building and warehouse date back to the 1930s. The warehouse has been restored, preserving its industrial look.
