Classic Mansion

The project is situated in Suzhou, a city with long history in China that served as a hub of commercial culture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, flourishing with prosperity. The interior design unfolds like a meticulously crafted scroll, skillfully blending traditional and modern elements, creating a poetic space where Eastern culture intertwines with contemporary aesthetics.



At the heart of the design lies a unique cultural fusion. The designer delves deeply into Suzhou's rich historical and cultural context, infusing its essence into modern design. The lobby features a stunning floor composed of gray and deep blue natural marble, which not only embodies understated luxury but also cultivates a tranquil and profound ambiance. The design of the screen is inspired by the renowned works of famous Suzhou painter Xu Fang; the combination of metal etching and the art of Nanjing gold leaf crafting resembles a flowing landscape painting within the space, presenting an elegance and opulence tone.



The application of traditional Chinese decorative technique—mother-of-pearl inlay—perfectly combined the exquisite craftsmanship of heritage with the refined aesthetics of modernity. The delicate mother-of-pearl textures resemble the ink-wash scenes from traditional Chinese painting, showcasing the designer's meticulous attention to detail while infusing the space with a rich cultural atmosphere. The use of paper art textures simulates the graceful postures of blooming flowers, akin to a collection of exquisite verses unfolding within the space, reflecting the designer’s reverence and love for the beauty of nature.



Moreover, the project's clever incorporation of natural elements embodies a modern pursuit of quality living. The design of expansive floor-to-ceiling windows draws the courtyard landscape into the interior, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for a harmonious coexistence with nature. This design philosophy not only enhances the visual enjoyment of the space but also brings a sense of tranquility and peace on a deeper level.
