RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Adjacent to Suzhou Canal which has inherited the cultural context of the South of the Yangtze River for thousands of years, the project features elegant and humanistic aesthetics, and fully shows people's imaginations and pursuit of an elegant lifestyle.
With the integration of functionality and humanistic aesthetics, the project perfectly interprets an elegant and quality lifestyle.
CHALLENGE: During the design process, the designers tried to take the architecture as a piece of transparent paper, gave it a poetic imagery and integrate it into the interior design, which was challenging.
Besides, the design team created a skylight, aiming to bring in natural light and blend it with lamplight in a unique way. To achieve this, they had to break the intermingled light and restructure the interior formations to interpret the light and shadows, hence creating a hazy and amazing atmosphere.
