Wave Mansion is a villa residence in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China. The design is inspired by the waves of Taihu Lake. Parametric modelling shapes seven gradient facades built with high-precision curved glass. Wide glass curtain walls and L-shaped corner balconies give panoramic views of the surroundings. The landscape is arranged as a system of three courtyards with water features and a cantilevered infinity pool. Each unit includes a private elevator and a basement. High-strength glass and steel were selected for durability and a refined appearance.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This hyper-fluid complex pioneers parametric regionalism, translating Taihu Lake's waves into 7 gradient Bim facades with 0.08mm-precision curved glass. The 270-degree glass curtain walls and L-shaped balconies redefine urban sightlines, while the "Three Courtyards, Nine Realms" landscape digitally reincarnates Jiangnan poetry. The 12m cantilevered infinity pool combines hydrodynamic simulations with post-tensioned concrete, achieving 23% higher structural efficiency than conventional solutions.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The building area of Wave Mansion is about 155-278 square meters. The lake villa with a building area of 260-392 square meters

- Production Technology
- The design emerged through an iterative process blending parametric modeling and site-specific analysis. Inspired by Taihu Lake's fluidity, the team employed advanced cad tools to craft flowing curves and glass curtain walls. Landscape design utilized 3D simulations to integrate water features and greenery seamlessly. Full-scale mockups refined the villa's private elevators and basements, ensuring precision. Materials like high-strength glass and steel were selected for durability and elegance.
- Design Challenge
- Key paradoxes resolved:
1. Fluid vs. code compliance: modular 3D-printing enabled mass-customization within standardization;
2. Spectacle vs. livability: micro-climate simulations tailored unit layouts to solar/wind patterns;
3. Tradition vs. Innovation: ML-extracted garden "DNA" informed contemporary spatial syntax;
4. Multidisciplinary coordination: proprietary BIM system synchronized 23 teams across 6 time zones. - Project Duration
- This project is located in Wuxi, Jiangsu. It was designed from 2023 and will be fully completed by 2026. Part of it will be completed and put on sale in December 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Spatial choreography enables 4D navigation:
1.Biomimetic canopies guide movement via light gradients;
2. Stacked atriums generate parallax views through 14 degrees sloping greenscapes;
3. Electrochromic glass "ripples" respond to pedestrian density;
4. AR-enhanced circulation reveals hidden cultural layers. The anti-gravity roof channels rainwater into interactive cascades, reducing drainage load by 41%. - Research
- Pioneering generative protocols:
- AI cross-referenced 11 classical gardens with modern ergonomics;
- CFD-optimized clustering cuts energy use 22%;
- Blockchain tracks 98% local materials;
- 3D-printed formwork slashed construction waste 65%. 3 patents achieved, including cold-bent glass techniques (0.08mm precision) and a BIM conflict-detector reducing coordination errors 78%. - Inspiration
- cfd-mapped Taihu Lake ripples and Olympic motion data fuel the design: Athletes' kinetic patterns inform roof profiles, while AI-reconstructed cormorant fishing trajectories shape suspended corridors. Machine learning analyzed 2,300+ Jiangnan motifs, synthesizing Suzhou embroidery patterns into parametric modules. The breakthrough lies in quantizing water's ephemerality, 89 fluid equations govern facade curvature, creating China's first architectonic "liquidscape".
