Donghu Lake Villa – A Harmony of Tradition and Contemporary Serenity
Drawing from the profound essence of oriental culture, Donghu Lake Villa embodies a deep reverence for humanism and the elegance of traditional Eastern aesthetics. Designed to capture the spirit of heritage, this villa tells the timeless story of the East through an artful blend of cultural depth and modern living.
The villa's ground floor serves as a reception and living space, where serenity and formality coexist in harmony. The design flows seamlessly from an entrance garden to a water feature, embodying the essence of tranquility. The ceremonial foyer introduces the refined concept of “Sishuiguitang” (the confluence of waters returning to the hall), celebrating the heart of traditional Eastern living. Complementing the atmosphere are a private dining hall and a tea room, offering a versatile and relaxing space perfect for both hosting gatherings and enjoying moments of solitude.
The second and third floors are dedicated to private living quarters, each space meticulously designed for personal retreat and rest.
A perfect balance of mountain and water, Donghu Lake Villa offers a sanctuary from urban chaos while remaining a place to embrace life’s finer pleasures. The design encapsulates the flow of seasons and daily rituals, where the soul finds solace in the interplay of light and shadow. A garden adorned with lush trees and timeless stone sculptures sets the stage for a peaceful haven, blending the poetic with the functional.
Mountains stand still, offering unwavering strength; waters flow endlessly, echoing the rhythm of life. The villa fosters a deep connection between body, soul, and nature, evoking a sense of harmony where the home becomes both a personal retreat and a vessel of cultural inheritance. Here, the essence of contemporary life is intertwined with the legacy of the family, creating a timeless model of living that speaks to both modernity and tradition.
