‘The Opposite House’ Showcases Contemporary Chinese Art

(Beijing, February 26, 2009) – Young contemporary Chinese artists are finding a vibrant platform for their art at The Opposite House, a luxurious, contemporary hotel by Swire Hotels.

Innovative Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who styled the hotel with a striking emerald glass facade, specifically designed the minimalist interiors with abundant natural light to house the art pieces and welcome the neighborhood.

The fascinating collection of modern art by Chinese artists from China, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK is themed after clothing and fashion, reflecting The Opposite House’s location in Beijing’s vibrant Sanlitun district, an integral part of The Village at Sanlitun, Beijing’s premier open-plan shopping destination, developed by Swire Properties.
