About Butterfly Residential

Butterfly House is a residential interior design for a villa of 800 square meters. The home serves both as a dwelling and as a setting for an art collection. A gold lacquer screen from the Kangxi period, an Italian Art Deco bench with yellow corduroy upholstery and an eighteenth century French cabinet with inlaid fine wood greet visitors at the entrance. A stainless steel rockery sculpture stands in front of the entrance hall. The planning is restrained and precise, balancing the collection, the functions of the house and comfort. Construction ran from 2016 to 2019.

Research: "Butterfly House" is a project with high aesthetic significance. Mr. Chi Chenping put great effort into the space design of "Butterfly House". It is the humble attitude and balanced philosophy that he emphasizes that enables him to help his master create a rare quality about life aesthetics. In fact, the so-called "poetic dwelling" is nothing more than "Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterfly, body and materialization", and Chi Chenping's design concept fits the meaning of "butterfly dwelling".
Inspiration: After bidding farewell to the collectivist apartment-style family home concept, villas have long become the first choice for the dream dwelling of China's emerging wealthy class. However, exclusive real estate and larger space will not automatically produce a happy ideal of habitation and a moving aesthetic paradigm.
The design of the "Butterfly House" space provides us with a model for discussion. The poetics that embodies the family house must be a balanced poetics.
