Production Technology: The main materials used in this project are logs and gray marble. The logs are mainly used for environmental protection. In addition, the logs will look more and more beautiful after years of using since it will interact with the air to produce cytoplasm. The cost of logs is relatively high, which is suitable for the homeowner who will not replace the house in the short term after decoration, and they plan to live here for at least fifteen years. Compared to composite boards, logs are more environmentally friendly and more durable.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in the project is how to solve the environmental protection problem. Most modern decoration materials are made of composite materials, which is very likely to cause pollutants. It is easy to exceed standards and endanger health. While in this villa, all the wood products are made of wood with wax directly painted on the logs. Even the solid wood floors are only oiled. The final environmental protection test was up to standard.
Research: In order to design a good residential project, it is necessary to respect the client's living habits, to understand the client's life as best as possible, and to communicate fully with the dweller. The priority of home design is to solve the living needs and provide a comfortable living environment for client.
Inspiration: The project is inspired by Chinese lifestyle and the aesthetics in traditional Chinese culture. The villa adopts traditional Chinese architectural elements, such as natural mountain and river landscape background, symmetrical structure, Chinese grilled air conditioning outlets and freehand brushwork paintings.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2018 and finished in November 2019 in Shanghai China.
