Within the final twenty years of speedy actual property improvement, housing has been mass-produced as a commodity, regularly veering away from assembly customers’ wants. Furthermore, the inflow of inventive ideas and repetitive kinds has led to a blurred identification in homes accessible available in the market.
Happily, our mission located in Heguangchenyue stands as a novel and high-quality improvement amid the market upheaval. It expresses look after the town and profound ideas on aesthetic development by the aesthetics of sunshine. The architectural design incorporates quite a few actions to introduce pure gentle, making it the unequivocal protagonist inside the area.
Mild, an eternal inventive motif in structure and area, poses a problem that each designer aspires to deal with. On this case’s design idea, the main focus can be on “gentle,” with a considerable introduction of sunshine into the present area. Past merely introducing gentle, the meticulous management exercised by Cui Shu over the sunshine is obvious, finally utilizing area as a medium to grasp gentle and using completely different gentle sources to reshape distinct areas.
The five-story villa area is logically divided into two elements – the primary to 3rd flooring are designated for the household’s dwelling and eating necessities.
Upon getting into, the double-height lobby area and steady L-shaped floor-to-ceiling glass home windows provide an expansive visible expertise, creating an infinite sense of extension.
On this public space, serving as the first visitor and eating area, the inside just isn’t overly designed. As an alternative, the combination of courtyard surroundings with the inside establishes a novel area the place pure daylight and life scenes mix. This interaction defines the subject-object relationship between viewing and being seen.
Cui Shu has deliberately fragmented the initially open and steady areas, connecting them by way of walkways scaled to human proportions. This successfully segregates completely different practical areas to make sure privateness whereas fostering various and fascinating spatial relationships amongst relations.
The highest-floor master suite area, providing the utmost privateness, has been strategically compartmentalized to accommodate the essential lifetime of a small household unit. Whereas the size of circulation area throughout all three flooring is deliberately manipulated, the intervention of surroundings and light-weight has reworked corridors from passive transit zones into garden-like passages with various vistas. This design imbues the house area with the essence harking back to historic Chinese language work, vividly illustrating all every day actions as in the event that they leap off the canvas.
“Chinese language gardens are envisioned as realms of creativeness; their environment are a deliberate assemble, their way of life embodies a philosophical method, and their universe encapsulates a dreamlike essence. True satisfaction is believed to be reserved for these indifferent from the worldly issues. In essence, a Chinese language backyard is commonly thought to be a manifestation of a dream.” — Tong Jun, “Lun Yuan”
In contrast to the every day routines of the household upstairs, the 2 underground flooring resemble a sanctuary for the home-owner’s inside self. Following a meticulous association of spatial flows, the staircase relocates to the guts of the realm. With its simple and delicate ascent, the steps act as an avenue signaling transition and connection, inviting one to enterprise into the subterranean religious haven whereas offering an avenue again to the fact bathed in pure daylight.
Cui Shu has adeptly employed refined architectural methods underground, crafting a collection of ‘packing containers’ inside the inside structure. These packing containers, various in dimension and interwoven throughout completely different elevations, engender a richly layered composition of intimate areas. The interaction of inclined gentle, manifesting progressions, gradations, and extensions, coupled with the high-ceiling atrium and various strip home windows diffusing delicate rays, evokes moments of sanctity akin to the ambiance discovered inside Langxiang Church. It’s an area nurturing religious resonance for its inhabitants.
The bar area, in an surprising flip, embraces a design vocabulary primarily comprising smooth and futuristic curves, starkly diverging from the overarching design language. This configuration, resembling a spacecraft materializing inside the house, invitations an ethereal expertise. Ascending the steps, settling in evokes the feeling of voyaging by tranquil area, disengaged from the standard actuality, experiencing a weightless detachment.
