The Design

About Peach Blossom Future Villa Vila

A Peach Blossom Future Villa é um conjunto de 56 residências unifamiliares implantadas numa área cênica montanhosa em Anji, Zhejiang, China. O projeto segue a ideia de unir o céu, a terra e a humanidade. Inspirada na tradicional palafita chinesa, cada vila apoia-se sobre três pilares de aço, que limitam as intervenções no terreno íngreme e conferem uma aparência leve. Grandes paredes de vidro formam a vedação e enfatizam a extensão horizontal, de modo que as casas surgem como caixas de vidro flutuando na paisagem alpina. Aço, vidro e concreto aparente com marcas de fôrma de tábuas envelhecem com elegância no local.
