The Design

About One Villa Residence

One Villa is a residence located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, China. A symmetrical layout, simple lines and a Chinese-style spatial order recall traditional Jiangnan architecture. The slightly curved roof is a modern interpretation of traditional roofs. Metal roof panels, blue walls, dark grey tiles and bronze-colored metal grilles form the outer surfaces. The plan has three layers, a front gateway, a middle transitional space with a corridor and water feature, and a back courtyard with a viewing loft. The design offers a calm and secluded living environment.

The slightly curved roof is a modern interpretation of traditional roofs. The overall building appearance inherits the charm of traditional Jiangnan architecture.

Production Technology: Metal roof panels used for the slightly curved roof, blue walls, dark grey tiles, and bronze-colored metal grilles as well as door and window frames are a modern interpretation of traditional architecture.
Design Challenge: Most modern urbanites long for a livable, enjoyable and tranquil living environment. In view of this, One Villa redefines modern lifestyle by offering ideal secluded living spaces, making residences as ideal as the "Peach Blossom Shangri-la" depicted by Tao Yuanming, a renowned ancient Chinese poet, and as the "Utopia" by Plato.
Research: As a place for Confucianism education, academy is a Chinese cultural gem, as it plays an important role in Chinese traditional culture and educational history. The project draws on the spatial order of Bailudong Academy in Lushan, and reinterprets it in a contemporary context. The design creates a picturesque space that combines both ancient and modern charm, and presents a natural, elegant lifestyle.
Inspiration: The project faces a river and nestles against a mountain, enjoying beautiful natural landscapes. One Villa inherits the natural outlook, cultural outlook and the outlook of the times featured by Sunac's Chinese-style residential developments, and meanwhile draws inspiration from traditional Chinese philosophy that advocates the integration of nature and human to conceive buildings and landscapes, so as to create novel scenes in a contemporary context.
Project Duration: Started in December 2020 and finished in April 2021
Located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, China
Operation Flow: The gateway at the front adopts a symmetrical layout, simple, pure lines and Chinese-style spatial order, with the pine trees on both sides greeting visitors.
