Production Technology

The splendid entrance expanded inward the main outdoor area of villa, where is decorated with the crafty architectural elements and the elaborate ornaments. The lighting fixtures decorated along the courtyard figuratively resemble the flower petals. The wood rails consistently surrounding the courtyard are captivating. The blue cozy and fashionable garden chairs, as the daylight scattering through wood rails, signify the contrast of classical and contemporary elements.

Design Challenge

To blend the ancient style with the contemporary style in a harmony way was the most difficult part of this design. We cannot just simply put the things together. They need to intermingle without losing their separate identities.

Project Duration

The project finished in November 2018 in Suzhou.

Operation Flow

It's worth mentioning that the wood walls are adorned by the old draftsmen specializing the Ming style furniture, whose craftsmanship of the customized woodworking joints superiorly brings out the traditional artistry of Suzhou style furniture.

Research

This project was designed by myself, Haihua Zhang, and photographed by Yunpu Cai. I admire the living way of Southern Song Dynasty and the beauty of contemporary design. So, I present to you, Eastern Aesthetics.

Inspiration

This was inspired by the life style of Southern Song Dynastic. We have managed to figure out a way of reaching a balance between contemporary building and ancient design.
