Production Technology
The villa features an open spacing, a large depth and large ceiling heights. After in-depth analysis on the building structure, the design methods take full advantage of the unique spacing scale and heights between floors of the villa. So, the design pointcut is to restore the original beauty of architecture and to keep the existing ceiling height.
Design Challenge
One of the design challenges is how to integrate the outdoor terraces, balcony and sunk courtyard with the interior function layout to create a new life style of courtyard. In the first floor, the dining room is exchanged with the guestroom area, in order to build a quiet sleeping environment.
Project Duration
The project is completed in October 2018, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China.
Operation Flow
Up to the third floor, the design emphasizes the match between modern materials and traditional elements. There once were two terraces, in which one is kept and another is changed into a semi-open study room. A new oriental space is thus built by the decoration of furniture of Ming and Qing style, including hanging screen, calligraphy and paintings, antique and bonsai.
Research
While down to the basement, it is a quite different space experience. Line is highlighted by the materials like wood, metal, leather and marble, enlarging the scale vertically and horizontally. The massive use of wood presents the Chinese antique aesthetics.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by the traditional Chinese landscaoe paintings. The oriental cultural elements are through the whole space, as well the sunk courtyard.
