This luxurious residential villa project is a thoughtful fusion of New Oriental architecture, artfully intertwining Western aesthetics with the serene influences of Eastern Zen. By reimagining the traditional concept of the "courtyard," the design transforms it into a vibrant living space aligned with contemporary lifestyle needs. Ultimately, this approach seeks to establish a harmonious balance between humanity and nature, as well as between communal family living and individual respite.



In this meticulously crafted design, attention to detail is paramount. Spatial proportions, circulation patterns, and the thoughtful incorporation of natural lighting and ventilation work in concert to create a seamless blend of functionality and poetic beauty. Furthermore, the overall planning strategically considers the dual necessity for shared interaction and private seclusion. This creates a layered and dynamic living environment that beautifully integrates the rhythms of movement and calm, ultimately enriching the residents' experience of home. 

The front yard of the residence presents an inviting atmosphere with its semi-enclosed double-car parking space, elegantly enhanced by a wooden lattice sunshade design. This thoughtful feature not only offers shade but also creates a warm buffer zone, perfect for greeting guests or unwinding in a tranquil setting. Stepping inside, one will notice that the residence showcases an expansive open-plan layout that seamlessly integrates the living room, dining area, and kitchen. This design choice not only maximizes daily activity spaces but also encourages family interaction, fostering shared living experiences that ultimately strengthen emotional bonds among family members. Moreover, each bathroom is thoughtfully equipped with an exterior window, providing picturesque views while ensuring a dry and pleasant atmosphere—avoiding the typical dampness associated with traditional enclosed bathrooms.



Transitioning to the upper levels, one will realize that the design team has brilliantly incorporated a semi-open-air bar and courtyard on both the second and third floors. This innovative "courtyard within a courtyard" concept enhances the flow of natural light and creates a versatile space that accommodates various scenarios, from lively gatherings with friends and family to peaceful moments of personal relaxation. Overall, the residence expertly combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious living environment.
