YANLORD LAND · TANG SONG

The designer proposes the design philosophy that "green is the primary color and romance of life". A pine tree named Yongsheng tree and a vertical wall cladding with antique green stones, as carriers of life color, extend across the villa starting from the atrium. On the ground floor, antique green stones are applied to the flooring, connecting the wall with the entrance, living room and even south-oriented courtyard. Spreading vertically to the second floor, the green wall appears in the main bedroom as a main feature and in the main bathroom to further present the design philosophy.



Once entering the Bihai Courtyard, a completely transparent atrium comes into sight immediately, which does not include a pillar or frame but has an overhaul door. One stone remains half outdoors and half indoors, looking united yet independent. The overall space design is the designer's announcement which declaims the combination of interior and exterior spaces and the disappearance of boundaries.



To highlight the boundary dissolution, the designer introduces green color into spaces. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, green is the primary color of everything and life, which is vigorous but without enough attention. The designer thus utilizes planted walls, wine cellars, silk threads and stones to connect spaces throughout the villa and responds to the lush greenery in the Yushanwan to integrate nature with modern life. The features of boundary dissolution and blank leaving are conveyed by “material carrier” which blends with life in a subtle way.



Regarding the basement design, a key challenge is to bring sunlight into the underground space. Through a reasonable architectural approach, the design poetically controls the introduction of natural light and adopts the planted wall to bring the green color to the basement floor.



Sunlight and green color inject vitality into the entire underground space and turn vertically full-height wine cellars as well as the planted wall into architectural art. What's more, a 5-meter green spectrum is created with embroidery threads to pay tribute to Jiangyin embroidery techniques, which recreates a rainbow in the basement floor.
