Measuring more than 10,000 square feet, this luxurious home designed by Foshan Giant Decoration Design is accented with Chinese decorative elements and furnishings.
For chief designers Xiaojie Li and Zhiqiang Hu, the challenge is to confer the space a soul where the residents can dwell for many years to come. They implement the spiritual concept of enjoying, communicating, and thinking in the design by strengthening the interrelationship between people and space, and presenting what would represent the residents’ pursuit for a simple lifestyle.
When entering the house, the sense of ritual gathers slowly with the movement of light and shade, and the function unfolds accordingly. The open and concise elevation is simply divided by lines – it’s the "face" of home in an unobtrusive way. The wooden grille outlined with small lattice lines on the solid partition wall dilutes the boundary. The wood, glass, and small-area stone materials that hide their original true beauty are used to convey a mild and graceful taste.
With contemporary techniques, the decoration of the living room reinterprets the Chinese aesthetics that the homeowner has longed for. The vaguely layered interface and materials of penetrating and continuous feature are used to improve the living quality, catering to the individuality of the homeowner.
The master bedroom suite on the third floor dispenses with heavy decorations, bringing a natural and balanced sense of simplicity.
As the sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows to the study room, every single object and material breathes and are intertwined with each other. Sitting right next to the verdant mountain, the beautiful scenery of the outdoor landscape can be viewed from the bay window in the study room.
