About Tongli Villa Dîzaynê Navxweyî yê Niştecihiyê

Tongli Villa dîzayneke navxweyî ya niştecihiyê ye ji bo xaniyekî sê-qatî ku rûbera wî ya giştî nêzîkî 450 metre çargoşe ye. Plansaziya wê vekirî û bi herikînek azad e, bêyî dîwarên veqetandinê, û balexaneyek ji bo bêhnvedanê tê de heye ku bê ban hatiye hiştin. Materyalên xwezayî navxweyê pênase dikin, di nav wan de dara teak a nehatiye çareserkirin, textê reşkirî yê dijî-rizînê, û dîwarên herî yên bi destan hatine sepandin. Xemilandin di asta herî kêm de hatiye hiştin, ji ber vê yekê tekstur û ronahiya rojê şêweya her odeyê diyar dikin. Dîzayn mîrata Miao ya xwediyê malê nîşan dide û jiyaneke rojane ya aram û hêdî piştgirî dike.

Unique Properties: This residential design captures the essence of emotional connection, cultural resonance, and sensory comfort. Blending raw materials such as teak, charred wood, artistic mud walls, and hand collected objects, the space abandons decorative excess to return to elemental simplicity. The spatial layout is fluid, resisting traditional segmentation. Instead, it becomes a canvas for daily rituals, emotional anchoring, and inner peace: an aesthetic of stillness and lived poetry.
Dimensions & Packaging: The house includes three levels with a total floor area of approximately 450 sqm. Key spatial elements include a horizontally open plan ground floor, an unceiled attic lounge, and a free flow layout without partition walls. Materials are predominantly natural and untreated, aligning with the spatial philosophy of sensory grounding.

Production Technology: The project adopts a material first approach rooted in authenticity. Teak wood was used untreated to preserve its warmth and grain, while blackened anti corrosion timber adds weight and durability. Hand applied mud walls and artistic paint deliver texture and tone without ornament. The approach emphasized manual craftsmanship and intuitive layering over mechanical precision.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge was resisting conventional luxury symbols and instead crafting a space of deep emotional value. Balancing the owner's cultural identity with modern comfort required nuanced material choices, emotional mapping, and conceptual restraint. The absence of visual drama demanded heightened attention to detail, proportion, and sensory atmosphere.
Research: This is an applied cultural emotional design study exploring how spatial language can translate heritage and emotional needs into form. The methodology involved user immersion, ethnographic interviews, and contextual material selection. The homeowner's daily habits, values, and sensory preferences were key data points. The result is a space that not only houses the body but also resonates with memory, ritual, and inner calm enhancing the broader conversation on design’s emotional efficacy.
Inspiration: The homeowner's Miao heritage and natural lifestyle philosophy inspired a design that values emotional depth over surface form. Influenced by vernacular dwellings and poetic Eastern aesthetics, the concept centers on the idea of a home as a place of stillness, reflection, and healing. Rain falling on tiles, shifting light across earth toned walls, and silence within wooden textures form the emotional blueprint for the space.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2024 in Suzhou, China and finished in January 2025.
Operation Flow: The space invites slow, unstructured interaction. There are no dominant visual cues or rigid furniture placements. Instead, the flow is organic light guides the user, and silence defines transitions. It's not about usage, but co existence: the homeowner doesn't use the space, she dwells within it, rhythmically, intuitively.
