About Loong Palace 480 Residential
Loong Palace 480 is a show villa located in Beijing, China. The residence covers 1338 square meters and contains five bedrooms arranged in four main areas across the floors, balancing private and shared use. The modern interior is softened by cultural and artistic references. Straight lines form the outline of the space, while arc lines and a curling shape drawn from rolled book pages appear throughout the main rooms. The underground family library uses luminescent jade flooring, frosted glass railings and golden metal bookshelves. Natural light enters through a skylight.

- Production Technology
- The family library uses luminescent jade on the floor and frosted glass on the fence to show the soft and beautiful texture of jade, while golden metal bookshelves and metal mesh were used to create an effect of a house of gold. The ceiling adopts the curling shape of the book page being rolled up. An influx of natural light enters from the skylight, and sprinkles on the opening huge golden book page. The abstract shape of a tree is used in the middle, offering vivid layering and sense of distance, partially permeating the golden brilliance of the sun through the spaces between the trees and branches in the deep forest.
- Design Challenge
- The design of underground space has been discussed for several times, from the original recreational and sports space mainly composed of billiards, chess and CARDS, to the single-floor library combined with other functional Spaces, and finally to the design of empty family library in the main space of underground floor. Although it has gone through a difficult process, excellent results have been achieved.

- Total of 5 bedrooms with 4 major areas throughout the floors to maximize the need for private as well as for public interaction.
- Research
- While the style of this villa is predominantly modern, it has also integrated a sense of culture and art to neutralize the intrinsic austere sensation of the modern style. The space is made up of straight lines (whose feeling of incisiveness gives it its contour), arc lines, and the curling shape derived from the form of rolled up book pages that are prevalent throughout the main spaces.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the curling shape of the rolled up book pages. Adopting the metaphors of "In the book, there is a house of gold; On the book, there is a shade of jade", from a classical Chinese allusion, meaning the knowledge from books will make a wonderful life financially, emotionally, as well as spiritually.
