The Design

About One Villa 住宅

One Villa 係一座位於中國江西省九江市嘅住宅。對稱嘅布局、簡潔嘅線條同中式嘅空間秩序，令人聯想起傳統嘅江南建築。微微彎曲嘅屋頂係對傳統屋頂嘅現代演繹。金屬屋面板、藍色牆身、深灰色瓦片同青銅色金屬格柵構成外表面。平面分三層，前面係門樓，中間係設有走廊同水景嘅過渡空間，後面係設有觀景閣樓嘅後院。呢個設計提供咗一個寧靜而幽靜嘅居住環境。

Unique Properties: The project adopts a symmetrical layout, simple and pure lines, and Chinese-style spatial order. The architecture features concise yet lively lines, and delicate, elegant tones. The slightly curved roof is a modern interpretation of traditional roofs. The overall building appearance inherits the charm of traditional Jiangnan architecture.
Dimensions & Packaging: Drawing inspiration from Xunyang Tower built in Jiujiang in the Song Dynasty, the spatial pattern is composed of three layers of space, including front gateway, middle transitional space and back courtyard.

Design Challenge: Most modern urbanites long for a livable, enjoyable and tranquil living environment. In view of this, One Villa redefines modern lifestyle by offering ideal secluded living spaces, making residences as ideal as the "Peach Blossom Shangri-la" depicted by Tao Yuanming, a renowned ancient Chinese poet, and as the "Utopia" by Plato.
Research: As a place for Confucianism education, academy is a Chinese cultural gem, as it plays an important role in Chinese traditional culture and educational history. The project draws on the spatial order of Bailudong Academy in Lushan, and reinterprets it in a contemporary context. The design creates a picturesque space that combines both ancient and modern charm, and presents a natural, elegant lifestyle.
Inspiration: The project faces a river and nestles against a mountain, enjoying beautiful natural landscapes. One Villa inherits the natural outlook, cultural outlook and the outlook of the times featured by Sunac's Chinese-style residential developments, and meanwhile draws inspiration from traditional Chinese philosophy that advocates the integration of nature and human to conceive buildings and landscapes, so as to create novel scenes in a contemporary context.
