Design Details

Unique Properties
This project is in an upscale villa complex in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, China, which was a 20-year-old villa complex with some Southeast Asian architecture. The client’s house is about 800 square meters, a total of 4 floors. This is a family of six and a cat. The client is demanding of “feng shui” and “numerology” with unique requirements. We need to meet the aesthetics and functionality while also must satisfy the special “feng shui” requirements.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by the strong black-and-white contrast in black-and-white photography. The client like the design style to be European classical. At the same time the designers want to add some modern and exaggerated visual effects, so we used some geometry instead of the original classic-style columns, arches and other symbols in the design process. Coupled with a strong contrast of black and white colors, finally the client is very satisfied with the special effects presented by the design.
Research
This project does not have many special new craftsmanship in the construction, but the real difficulty is the control of the color black and white ratio in the design process. Because we want the design to be as simple as possible, but we also want to have a strong visual effect. In the end, our design can successfully present unique colors, it depends on our experience of the past dozens of times to grasp the accurate color ratio.
