Design Details

Unique Properties
In this space, functionality is greatly developed. The porch full of ritual feeling is soft and pure like silk, and also has the functional attributes of a gallery. This building is not only a home, but also a tasteful art gallery. The rational division of lines in space uses the organic integration of curves and straight lines to show the extraordinary temperament of the building.
Inspiration
The owner's initial appeal was to make this Spanish-style villa, which is more than 600 square meters away from the urban area of Hangzhou, and has no much difference from the surrounding buildings, into a corner of his ideal, memory and away from the noise, to put his heart in the spare time.
Research
The fully functional kitchen and dining room are enough for a private banquet between friends. The light changes as the sun rises and falls in this house, which endows beauty with drama, and where there is light, there is scenery.
Challenge
The key to the design of minimalist Zen is how to combine minimalist design with Oriental Zen perfectly. In the essence of design, both of them pursue the realm of "less is more".
Realization and Technology
The design team hopes that their design is not only reflected in high-end materials and exquisite workmanship, but also in the simplest form to express natural aesthetics and create a safe, quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Operation and Interaction
Designers combine country houses and modern exquisite design to present a tranquility and stability in pursuit of natural balance, emphasizing a simple and comfortable feeling. The natural aesthetic return to nature in gray system emphasizes the interaction of architectural structure and light. The pursuit of quietness is different, but the ideal of both is to find a quiet spiritual residence for human beings.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in March 2019 in Hangzhou and finished in January 2020 in Hangzhou.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 1700 square meters.
