QING ZHU VILLA

The landscape is not meant to transform the ecological environment, the architecture is not a volume that separated from nature, and the interior space is not only rooms that exist inside the building. Base on these notions, the design team integrates the three core elements of "simplicity, lightness, and connection with the nature", moreover comply with the landform conditions of the adjacent forest and the oval hinterland, hence perfectly realize the blueprint of the property owner's dreaming holiday villa.



We construct a private space of lightness and pressureless, which compatible with nature - keep the undulating terrain and big trees, make use of the natural stone and wood as the building materials, plan the cultured and rustic layout to bring about a square-shaped and transparent building that amid the green scenery and adjacent the river. Ultimately, set up a paradise of function and nature-beauty.



We make use of the Low-Emissivity Insulated Glass for setting up the windows and doors, which is not only an energy-efficient green building material but also with heat insulation effect. By way of the large-scale glass and open window design that eliminates the boundary between the outdoor and indoor. We further take advantage of the beautiful nature surrounding, so as to bring out the rustic and elegant temperament of the structure.



We adopt the pattern of "reduce to essentials" to arrange the interior layout. First, plan a see-through scheme of the public areas of the first floor, and then particularly set up the stairwell of glass curtain way up to the roof, hence, create the airy and transparent perception of the two-story building. The structure takes the image of the stacking boxes that hides the column well in the walls; so that when you look in from the outdoor, you wouldn’t see any columns.



By way of the open floor plan and the seemingly non-column design that achieved the visual notion of "a white box amid the green circumstance", and at the same time echoes the design concept of simplicity and lightness.
