The design of this summer holiday villa began after visiting the impressive surrounding landscape.
The area is located on a cliff surrounded by three high mountains and faces to the famous RiZhao green tea belt.
The landscape during the summer is flourishing and sinuous.
Gentle tea plantations draw charming paths through the valley until the horizon, offering a typical Chinese nature feeling.
The challenge was clear to both designers and client from the very beginning: to realize an architecture able to find a perfect harmony with the impressive surrounding landscape.
The first step to achieve the goal was to search for spaces related to the Chinese landscape design tradition.
Then, after learning from the SuZhou garden philosophy and studying the bridges form, as well as the z-path corridors spaces, the results were.
A volume and an interiors layout that can be recounted starting from two main concepts: let the building become part of the nature and the nature part of the building.
The first one has driven the building design, the second one the interior design.
