Oriental Elegance

The Oriental Elegance is a modern space rooted in Song Dynasty aesthetics and natural philosophy. Centered around harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, the space utilizes a minimalist design approach to recreate the simplicity, elegance, and vitality of Song-style interior designs. It also addresses the clutter of modern spaces, blending traditional aesthetics into contemporary life.
The space consists of three functional zones— great room, tearoom, and bedroom, which are clearly defined through points, lines, and planes. This balances space integrity with versatile usage, embodying the spatial philosophy of "expansiveness within compactness". The space adopts a spatial layout inspired by the "three distances (high, deep, level)" method of Song Dynasty landscape painting, using tiered ceilings and progressive partitions to fulfill "scenery that shifts with every step". This breaks traditional symmetrical layout, creating fluid, open areas that balance Song-style simplicity with modern social needs.
Song-style architectural elements, such as lattice windows, wood grain textures, and negative-space artistry, are integrated with modern functionality, constructing a modern, elegant space that blends visual appeal, livability, and comfort. The traditional Chinese study's "four arts (qin, qi, shu, hua)" scenarios are reimagined as multifunctional zones like transformable tea tables/desks and hidden storage compartments, increasing space efficiency by 30%.
In terms of material and craftsmanship, 3D scanning reproduces Song-style wood grains, eco-friendly wood-plastic composites offer a wood-like feel, and translucent stone panels with backlighting emulate the "ink diffusion" effect of Song paintings, harmonizing traditional materials with modern techniques. Additionally, the Song-style architectural light-guiding system featuring high windows and reflective panels ensures 90% natural light coverage, reducing artificial lighting. A ground-source heat pump system paired with Song-style "through-draft ventilation" layout minimizes reliance on air conditioning.
