Design Challenge: Protected by the local government from demolition and this township with only few young people, the old building renovation has not been easy. The renovation plan is challenged by the needs to remain the original building features, constant wall wreckages, and lack of manpower. It has also been a heavy work by carrying construction materials by the old people, thus preserving the 80% of the previous architectural features.
Research: Responding to the concept of letting the heart of the people to fly towards Songyang, the design focuses on enabling visitors to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city while having a period of peacefulness. Thus, it is designed with low profile, avoiding any sense of urban elements, realizing it with exquisite decorations as well as the sceneries views by the windows to create a place for relaxing minds. Besides, calming minds and soul, it is also an ideal place for taking photos.
Inspiration: There are many vacation villas in Zhejiang Province. Most of them use Chinese elements as the base of design which has brought out strong historical sense and solemn atmosphere. However, the designer of this project does not want to adopt the same design elements, in contrast, portraits the motion of flying clouds as the design concept.
Project Duration: This project started in March 2017 and completed in April 2019 at Songyang Mountain, Zhejiang, China.
Operation Flow: By the time starting the building remodeling, the design is aimed to preserve the original unique features. Following the clouds passing by this region, the visitors can live with peacefulness. The new building, after the remodeling construction, remains its amicable relationship with the natural environment. The living environment quality is improved not only by the renovation plan, but also by the remodeling of this place, encompasses landscape, architecture and interior designs.
