DESIGN NAME: Yangfu
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Private House
INSPIRATION: A traditional Chinese family with four generations live in the courtyard house. The owner is an elder in his sixties who loves traditional culture. The owner has a wish for many years, hoping to find a place to feel the charm of nature, inherit traditional ideas, and utilize this place as a bond of family affection to live with his descendants and enjoys the happiness of the family.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a private house with reception, display (small private art gallery), and residence functions. Culture and wealth can be inherited. The designer starts from the architectural design and transformation, and to outdoor layouts (building mountains and ponds, planting flowers and trees), and then to interior decoration; the functional layout gradually completes the design of the entire house to meet the needs of residents of different ages, and each has a private and fusion lifestyle.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The corridor connects the entire house, and the space for reception and residence is relatively independent. Children can play in their own private space or walk through the garden to enjoy the happy time of family reunion with their elders. There is also a private art gallery in the house, where the owner's half-life art collections are displayed in a professional exhibition mode, and guests can appreciate them.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began to be designed in Hangzhou, China in December 2017 and will be completed in Shaoxing, China in January 2020.
