The Design

About One Jiyang Lake Villa

Detta är en privat villa belägen i södra Kina, där designern tar praktiken av Zen-buddhismteorin för att utföra designen. Genom att överge det onödiga och använda naturliga, intuitiva material och kortfattade designmetoder skapade formgivarna ett enkelt, tyst och bekvämt samtida orientaliskt vardagsrum. Det bekväma samtida orientaliska vardagsrummet använder samma enkla formspråk som de högkvalitativa italienska moderna möblerna för det inre utrymmet.

Production Technology
The main materials used are mostly made of natural materials, for simple and easy construction methods. For example, the exterior wall of the garden uses natural bamboo, and the interior wall is mostly white latex paint that is easy to construct and maintain.
Design Challenge
There are many unreasonable aspects in the architectural design of the villa, which needed to be perfected by interior design. For example: this four-story villa was not designed for elevators, therefore we needed to remove the original stairs and add an elevator, as well as to design new staircase in the same space. We had to make use of every centimeter to achieve this functional requirement, while not losing the comfort and accessibility of the original stairs.
Research
The basement is the wine tasting area, guest room, living room, and small sunken garden. The first floor is the family public space with living room, dining room, tea room, kitchen and garden. The second and third floors are bedroom areas, which are the master bedrooms for the owner, owner's parents, and the children. The upper two floors are each equipped with as small outdoor gardens.
Inspiration
Dongdusi Temple was built in this city in memory of master Jian Zhen's successful boat trip Japan during the Tang Dynasty. He brought over Buddhism Dharma and other technical knowledge, which helped with the development of their culture. This had since become a part of this city's history too. This project is based on Zen Buddhism theories, where we removed all extra elements, and creating a modern spiritual residence that settles the heart, returns to nature, offering a sense of tranquility.
Project Duration
This project initiated in June 2018, and was completed in January 2020. It is located at 1 Jiyang Lake, Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, China.
Operation Flow
We designed a bamboo fence for the garden to block the view from the neighbors' homes, this is to meet the privacy needs of the owner and to create a spiritual world of insight. This way the area on the ground floor looks out into their own garden.
