INSPIRATION: The land of the ancient Shu Kingdom is a land abundant of natural and cultural resources. Chengdu contains the depth of history, the openness of kingdom, the subtlety of poetry, and the sonority of Sichuan opera. With a cup of tea, telling a folk tale, the world and cosmos are included in a special house.The design pursues the spirit of Chinese literati through the leisurely details, trying to deducing an ideal painting scroll of Chinese contemporary residential life.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: There are five floors in the model house. According to the traditional family need for three generations to live together, the house is reasonably divided into dynamic and static areas. A suspended atrium is created separately on the basement floor and between the first and second floors to enhance the interpenetration and flow among varied floors and meanwhile maintain a relaxed, bright and transparent spatial experience. By doing so, a unified living aesthetic is founded.

It covers living room, studio, open deck, three bedrooms for the owner, elder and the kids. A suspended atrium is created separately on the basement floor and between the first and second floors to enhance the interpenetration and flow among varied floors In the basement space, a mezzanine space is inserted and integrated into a unified space for multiple recreational functions.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2016 and finished in December 2016 in Chengdu.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The lobby and the grey tea mirrors expand the spatial view. The space of the living room is just like the intentional environment of an ink landscape painting. The atrium is set as the dining room, with the overhead artistic chandelier light and the stainless steel screens creating a luxurious temperament, emphasizing the vertical visual effect of the spacious atrium. The dining room and the living room are openly connected to strengthen the communication of the varied spaces on the same floor. The bathroom uses natural stone to enhances unique experience for the owner.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The land of the ancient Shu Kingdom (i.e., Sichuan Province) is a land abundant of natural and cultural resources. Chengdu contains the depth of history, the openness of kingdom, the subtlety of poetry, and the sonority of Sichuan opera. With a cup of tea, telling a folk tale, the world and cosmos are included in a special house, designed by the Shenzhen Creative-Space Design, namely the model house in the Vanke New Park residential compound. The design is trying to deducing an ideal painting scroll of Chinese contemporary residential life.
CHALLENGE: In this project, the problems we faced were the urgency of the construction deadline and the difficulty of the cross-construction of the soft and hard textured decorations. With a tight budget, attempting to realize the artistic and regional cultural characteristics of the space was the primary consideration for the designer. Due to the reality that local construction teams cannot meet the design requirements, the design process was forced to simplify some specific details, and finally found a way to offset the quality loss through soft-textured decorations.
