Design Details

Unique Properties
The project adopts the structural layout of Chinese architecture and Chinese design elements to create a distinctive Chinese traditional home atmosphere. At the same time, it provides more sufficient natural lighting and improves the traditional Chinese furniture, creating a more comfortable living experience.
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from the owner's expectations for the living environment. The owner are keen on traditional Chinese culture and the natural state of life, but hopes to improve the defects of over-repression and darkness in the traditional Chinese architecture. The designer combines traditional culture with modern aesthetics, refines classic Chinese elements, simplifies and enriches them, and perfectly integrates Chinese classical temperament with modern aesthetics.
Research
Interpretation of traditional Chinese architectural elements in the new era Improvement design for furniture of Ming Dynasty in China Use of Chinese decorative elements Improvement of interior lighting Integration of interior and natural environment
Challenge
The original building is a typical modern multi-storey detached villa. How to create the feeling of traditional Chinese courtyard with inward enclosure is the biggest challenge. The designer built a new two-storey high wall outside the living room, creating a sense of enclosed courtyard. Architectural elements such as pitched roof and log roof beam etc., are used to create distinctive Chinese features with indoor furnishings such as calligraphy, paintings, furniture and porcelain.
Realization and Technology
The design idea of this project is extended around two aspects: embodiment of Chinese style and improvement of living comfort. The use of Chinese elements is as follows: Firstly,layout: the interior furnishings are in a symmetrical layout, which follows the traditional Chinese concept of Yin and Yang balance to reconcile the interior ecology. Secondly, enclosure: a new stone exterior wall are built outside the window to create an impression of traditional Chinese courtyard structure. Thirdly, roof: the pitched roof is built in the high-rise living room, and log Chinese lintel modelling is used.
Operation and Interaction
The designer transforms exterior walls of the public activity area in the living room on the first floor into floor-to-ceiling glass, integrating with the environment outside the window. The structure of the third floor has also been reconstructed. The main bedroom is equipped with skylights, sunshine halls, outdoor terraces and so on to maximize interaction between the interior space and the exterior natural environment, providing a healthy living environment close to nature for the residents.
