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.
