This particular project is situated in the streets of Changzhou Tianning District, an area with a long history of canal commerce. The district's old streets and towns are steeped in rich historical heritage and possess a deep humanistic charm. The designer has masterfully woven the local culture and the aesthetic of the Song Dynasty into the space, resulting in a seamless fusion of the modest, understated urban character and the serene, elegant aesthetics of Song poetry. The end result is a space that evokes the ambiance of a Jiangnan garden and forest, creating a truly unique and captivating atmosphere.



Upon entering the reception hall, the eye is immediately drawn to the exquisite display of earthy colors that fill the spacious and bright area. The careful juxtaposition of dark and light tones, along with a variety of textures, creates a captivating and opulent sense of antiquity. A charming boat-themed decoration further enhances the luxurious and harmonious ambience of the space.



Moving into the living area, one is enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere, as rich brown and gray hues blend seamlessly with the delicate marble textures. This creates a soft and cozy environment that beckons all to unwind and savour precious moments of relaxation. To cater to the diverse leisure needs of visitors, the designers have meticulously crafted a billiard room, fitness area, and a tranquil reading room, ensuring that there are ample spaces to indulge in various recreational activities. 



The skilled designer pursues a vision of "elegance in simplicity and formless like an elephant." They meticulously craft each space in a contemporary minimalist style, weaving in touches of retro elements. This fusion of timeless grace with modern simplicity aims to evoke an artistic ambiance that resonates across different generations. The objective is to establish a tranquil retreat for visitors, far removed from the chaotic pace of the world. Many areas in this design boast expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing abundant natural light to flood in and offering views of the outdoor greenery. This creates an exquisite and serene atmosphere throughout the space.
