Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
Architecture can be said to be the sum of the parts connected by nodes. The relationship between nodes exists in materials, proportions, light and shade, and color, in the subtle relationship of exclusion or mutual attraction, and is expressed through integration or concealment, giving it a tangible creation and vitality.
To integrate the staircase from the 1st to 4th floor, the designer used grille lines paired with stainless steel and glass interfaces, supplemented by linear strip lighting, to create a floating and light appeal. The side of the building is also designed in the form of a glass house with a constant temperature wine cellar to enrich the living function and manifest personal taste at the same time. The staircase is decorated with thin slabs of colorful stone and linear light strips, extending the impression of the building's sleek and stylish design language.
As an interface derived from various materials, in the nodes or color sequences, interlaced and juxtaposed with the corresponding layers of light and shadow, emphasizing the continuity from point to line and plane, and at the same time becoming a perfect expression of the fusion of different materials and mosaic art, so that when the eyes stop at any angle in the space, one can feel the vertical and horizontal tension between the real and the virtual.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The design of the space focuses on the expression of continuity, through transitions and extending the aesthetics of visual contrast, eliminating structural stress through perfect ratios. The unique taste and character of the homeowners are embodied through their behavior patterns.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
Because of winning this award, I will be better able to use my own knowledge to come back to social, and pass my experience on people who endeavor in the field of design.
Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of 700 bald cypress trees and 90,000 shrubs in Villa 150 Guest House creates a remarkable forest manor setting - how did this natural environment influence your interior design decisions and material selections?
In the design of Villa 150, the surrounding 700 bald cypress trees and more than 90,000 lush plants form an environment like a forest manor, which provides us with rich inspiration for the design and material selection, and also satisfies modern people's health concerns. The needs and pursuit of life.The integration of architecture and nature is also reflected in the entire space design. The material gives the indoor space a rich sense of rhythm like a forest path.At the same time, we used a variety of deep and natural colors, such as the light macaron counter edge and round design elements in the study room, to create a relaxed balance suitable for parent-child interaction. The cut shape gives the space a sense of layering and conceals it. Strip lighting expands, making this exposed space both modern and infused with the serenity of nature.
The curved door arches and continuous ceiling shapes in Villa 150 Guest House's study area create a unique spatial flow - what inspired this distinctive architectural language, and how does it enhance the family's reading and leisure experience?
In the design of Villa 150, the surrounding 700 bald cypress trees and more than 90,000 dense plants form a natural environment like a forest manor, which also meets the needs of modern people for healthy living.The integration of architecture and nature is also reflected in the entire space design, giving the indoor space a rich sense of rhythm like a forest path.At the same time, we used a variety of deep and natural colors, such as the light macaron counter edges and circular design elements in the study. This color combination complements the arc structure to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, especially suitable for parent-child reading and reading. Interaction, we should also try to encourage interaction and communication between family members, making reading a family activity, further strengthening the emotional connection between family members.
Villa 150 Guest House demonstrates a masterful balance between resort aesthetics and practical living functions - could you elaborate on how you achieved this harmony while maintaining the integrity of both aspects?
When designing Villa 150, we focused on balancing resort-like aesthetics with the practical needs of modern living, ensuring that the two complement each other in harmony. Terrava Manor is surrounded by 700 bald cypress trees and 90,000 dense shrubs. The natural environment became the basis for design inspiration. We hope to extend the natural atmosphere of the outdoors into the indoors, making people feel at home as relaxed as if they were on vacation.In terms of practicality, we selected natural stone, low-formaldehyde plates and environmentally friendly paint to ensure the safety and health of the space and meet modern people's needs for green and environmentally friendly life. At the same time, the lighting system uses energy-saving LED light sources, which not only conforms to the trend of environmental protection, but also creates a warm living environment.In space design, the unity of function and aesthetics is our focus. For example, the room’s curved door arch and macaron-toned design not only create a relaxing atmosphere, but are also very suitable for parent-child interaction and communication. In addition, we also incorporated hidden storage spaces to make the room neat, beautiful and easy to use.This design concept makes Villa 150 a space that combines aesthetics and functionality, allowing residents to experience the convenience and comfort of modern life while enjoying the natural atmosphere.
