Anpin Yuanshe Xiaoyuan Residential House

Anpin Yuanshe Xiaoyuan Residential House is an exemplary residential architectural project that masterfully bridges traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary living requirements, situated in the historically significant Qinhuai District of Nanjing. This innovative residential development, completed in 2019, represents a thoughtful interpretation of Chinese architectural heritage while incorporating modern design sensibilities. The project's distinctive approach maintains the historical street layout and employs low-rise courtyard-style residences that feature traditional elements such as grey tiles, white walls, and wavy hip roofs, creating a harmonious dialogue between past and present. The design philosophy emphasizes the integration of living spaces with accessible park areas, establishing a unique residential paradigm that honors the cultural essence of south Nanjing while meeting contemporary lifestyle needs. The development showcases two contrasting yet complementary forms in its Heyuan and Xiaoyuan sections, combining elements of steadfast dignity with moderate inclusivity, all while maintaining a delicate balance between hardness and softness in its architectural expression. This Silver A' Design Award-winning project in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category demonstrates exceptional achievement in spatial planning, cultural preservation, and innovative residential design, particularly notable for its success in addressing the complex challenge of balancing historical conservation with modern urban development requirements. The project's sophisticated approach to combining residential functionality with park accessibility creates an ideal living environment that respects both the city's historical context and its future aspirations.
