Partial of Style
Residential House for Zoina Land
In order to rebuild the depth and elegance of the alleys and houses of Shili Yangchang, the designer of Waterfrom design chose serpentine, marble, walnut, brass and other contemporary materials to connect with the past, using a familiar and enchanting atmosphere from 1950s and 1960 as a visual overture. In this rhythmic layout, we hope to use some history from the bustling Shanghai to commemorate the exquisite classics that are compatible with its generation and regional art.

Production Technology
The vista is interpreted as a painting with heavy colors. The natural texture and color of dark green serpentine and plain white marble are like strong overlapping oil paints, which are arbitrarily replaced in our set blocks. Leather and walnut walls and furniture enrich the everyday vocabulary of modern design with warm tones. Performing art through materials full of historical sentiment, which represents Haimen's Chinese and Western past.
Design Challenge
In a pure space, we sculpt the advance and retreat of walls using the faces of strong color blocks. In an open area, people can watch the images constructed by color and proportion from different perspectives, just like paintings that return to the minimum artistic spirit of the same scene.
Project Duration
Design Period：2019.05～2019.08 Construction Period：2020.02～2020.04 Location: Haimen, China
Operation Flow
Return to the purest residence and create a field hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city. Within this space, the prosperity of the old Shanghai is scaled into the material, and the behavior of each field is defined in volume, shaping and spreading the invisible architectural vocabulary. The flow line of the space builds the depth and experience of a certain ritual-like humanistic texture.
Research
Before designing, we like to dig out the local history and culture. Haimen, known as "North Shanghai", is located at the border of the Yangtze River and the Yellow Sea, and its geographical conditions make it a colonial style that blends Chinese and Western cultures. Its buildings and living utensils are as fashionable and luxurious as Shanghai in different eras of the 20th century.
Inspiration
The western styles that remain in the Shanghai Concession are also seen everywhere in Haimen. Unlike the poetic and artistic conception of Chinese gardens, the old Shanghai western styles make good use of its noble colors and material textures to construct the soft and delicate space that people yearn for. Like the cheongsam on a Shanghai women, fashion has a worldly and restrained style.
