Villa in Western Suburb of Shanghai

Agency: Yang Bing
Client: na

EVD designed a villa for a young family, located in Qingxi Garden in the western outskirts of Shanghai. Here the purity of culture and the elegance of vogue intermingle. The 1,500-square-meter living space is the result of the fusion of various elements and diverse aesthetic styles, showing the lifestyle of the younger generation and their self-representation.

The arched opening at the top of the living room is an expression of the building’s strength. In the middle of the day, a semicircle of natural light falls onto the floor, making the occupants feel like standing under a dome, creating incomparable beauty and grace. The space under the vaults is equipped with half-open glass doors and windows, establishing the fluidity of the expansive space. The structural order of the sculptures, the natural texture of the ceramics, the originality of the glass ceiling lamps, the tension of the paintings, and the artistic fusion of the East and West, embody eclectic design that embraces vitality and enriches the space. The circulation pattern of the home has been systematically organized. EVD introduced multiple routes leading to the attic, the first and second basement floors, thus creating the connectivity among diversified functional areas throughout the 1,500sqm villa. With the use of marble veneers and wood floorings, along with artistic images, the designers attempt to create a gallery-like atmosphere that integrates life and aesthetics into a relaxing living environment. The master bedroom is presented as a suite. It’s a living space with a bedroom, a toilet, a bathroom and a closet, and also provides the functions of leisure and entertainment. In the children’s activity room, the designers created a genuine and pleasant atmosphere, an environment for enlightenment and interactive experience. The artistic wall collage and monkey-shaped lighting fixture make the space more free, dynamic, soft yet striking.
