IMPERIAL HERITAGE, Hangzhou

The project’s design draws inspiration from the natural world, structuring the space with clean proportions and precise geometry, while imbuing it with warmth through natural textures and subtle transitions.

The spatial journey unfolds with a gentle narrative—beginning with a serene entrance, opening into expansive communal areas, and gently flowing into tranquil, private spaces. Continuous lines and varied textures create layered richness, allowing reception and family activity areas to remain distinct yet seamlessly connected.

The entrance foyer continues the dialogue between space and nature. The delicate interplay of stone and wood evokes a sense of ceremony—an intentional buffer from the outside world, and a quiet moment that nurtures belonging.

In the reception area, a gently curved ceiling amplifies a sense of openness, with diffused light cascading from its edges. The pairing of marble and wood veneer merges modern sophistication with grounded calm, while a central round table and an encircling sofa form a warm, intimate space for conversation.

The dining and living areas are subtly delineated, maintaining a cohesive visual rhythm. A long Western-style dining table stretches along the central spatial axis, complemented by transparent pendant lights and a natural stone backdrop, exuding modern serenity and balance. The gentle curves of the chairs contrast with the table’s linear contours, adding a touch of softness to the rational composition.

In the Western kitchen and dining area, the interplay of cool metal and textured stone creates a rich experience, engaging both sight and touch. This multifunctional space becomes a vibrant hub for family interaction, where every toast or casual exchange is enriched with a quiet sense of ritual.
