PROJECT

DESCRIPTION

Thousand Buddha Rock (千佛岩), Chinese Shuen Paper (夹江宣纸) and New Year Banhua (年画) are representing elements of the local culture. We seek further potential of our design through digging into these local heritages, in accordance with the design philosophy of simplicity, nature and purity- We hope to break the cleavage between modernity and tradition, and the boundary between sumptuosity and dignity, whilst we attempt to merge them with innovation in the design. In terms of arrangements in the garden, the oriental gardening pursues a space of harmony with the nature to comfort the visitors: the essential part is not splendid technique, but to determine the one that best matching the surround circumstances through analysis of the geography, soil and climate in the spot. It was of this purpose that we chose these wooden table and chair sets in warm colours.. We hope our visitors to sit in a relaxing environment after a day of exhaustion, right before they welcome a performance of entertainment in all sense.
We seek aesthetic harmony in the space and quality The overall layout is spacious: walls of simplistic decorations are embellished with stripes and light. Some decorations are inspired by elements from the Thousand Buddha Rock nearby. The chandelier is carefully selected to echo the splashed-ink painting on the wall. “Still as it flows; dynamic as it might crush”, so do they express. We also use large-scale French windows to integrate the indoor dining experience with the outdoor courtyard scene, to pleasure the visitors with the poetic experience.
We also aim to recreate daily life scene in our design: with the use of simplistic design on the walls, as well as the corresponding choice of the lighting facilities and large indoor space that can seat group visitors, the dinning room produces a relaxing and cozy environment.
In the end, the once abandoned country house is renovated with respect to the surrounding history, as we need design with considerations of history, heritage and environment, rather than new concrete jungle one after another.
