About Blue Lake County Residence

Blue Lake County is a residential interior design covering 1100 square meters in Chongqing, China. The basement was transformed with new sunken light wells connected to the original garden, reducing damp and dark conditions. Cloisters form a ring around a sunken courtyard, bringing daylight to the whole floor. The traditional living room was replaced by a calligraphy room and a tea room on separate floors, one for solitude and one for guests. Materials include KD board, logs, latex paint and antique bricks, and simple finishes highlight the antique furniture collection.
