INSPIRATION: For the design of Yanlord Nanxing Show-Apartments, we have been inspired by the concept of "home" as a healing space and promoter of a relaxed and inspiring lifestyle. We wanted to create a container for life and art, a place where the family can find its comfortable refuge from everyday stresses.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Yanlord Nanxing Show Apartment proposes a new young Chinese modern lifestyle. Art is becoming increasingly more important for wealthy Chinese families, the fast pace of working life makes it necessary for the people to seek inspiration and regeneration inside the domestic walls. The interior design focuses on each of the smallest rituals of everyday life, trying to enhance their beauty, while the works of art set the style and the character of the spaces.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Nanxing Yanlord show apartment reveals itself to the users over time, like an old barrel of wine. The natural tone of wood of the cabinetry at the entrance welcomes you with a warm feel, while you leave your coat and shoes. The apartment unveils quietly to the open living room with the beautiful large window to the outside and the western-style dining area. Every room uses different materials and palette to evoke different feelings and gently favour its functionality

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our research is focused on the creation of manifold meaningful moment. With a ritualistic view of everyday life, we tried to magnify the experience of the inhabitants in each moment of the day. The research has been developed through years of activity and experiments, testing constantly the different scenarios of everyday life, how geometry, materials and light interact with our subconscious.
CHALLENGE: One of the challenges we had to face is to create a space that may be enjoyed and appreciated by a great number of people. We tried to create a meaningful design that could show the beauty of a new lifestyle with such an impact that a vast public could perceive and envision their own life inside the apartment. The success of the project doesn't rely only on the beauty of the design, but also on its universal message in the reality of Hangzhou culture and society.
