This case introduces a special home type - A Home for Producers on Lake Ville V, located in Xintiandi, the heart of downtown Shanghai.
As a top landmark in Shanghai, Lake Ville V, designed by American Architecture firm Robert A.M.Stern, is not only a residence, but also a symbol of Shanghai’s cultural heritage, carrying the unique style and artistic atmosphere of the city. Due to its premium geographic location and high-quality positioning, Lake Ville V offers the pursuit of an elite lifestyle and attracts residents who know how to enjoy the best in life.
Jason Lin, chief designer of Superorganism Architects, spent two and a half years polishing and refining the "Let's Play" design theme for this Home for Producers. Here, an integration of the East and the West, classic and trendy, fashionable and timeless, culminates in a harmonious dialogue with time and space.
With a thorough understanding of the clients’character and lifestyle, the designer paid more attention to the movement of the space, and whether the sense of harmony matched their distinct lifestyle. Conventional concepts of ‘home’ were abandoned in order to transform the layout from a traditional single-family flat into a revolutionary villa featuring a bright and airy space on the ground level, with an independent and private space on the second floor, delivering diverse choices for daily living.
Inspired by Shanghai's unique romantic culture, Lin transformed the linear image that echoes the details of the Shikumen in Shanghai’s Xintiandi into a design language that runs through the whole set of hardscaping design. Differentiating from traditionally popular rounded designs, Lin has created a stylish curved design imbued with Shanghai features in a fusion of the East and West.
In addition to the eye-catching arch shape of the entrance, the lower corner of the partition wall between the entrance and the living room, a large area of the living room backdrop’s molding edge, the arch at the end of the channel doorway, and many other interior design elements all demonstrate the signature curvature.
