A Spatial Feast of Integrated Music, Art, and Literature…

Design Concept
Life’s abundance requires an intricate mind. A high standard of life and a wide range of knowledge of music, art, and literature serve as a creative burst of energy for designers. The ultimate aesthetic can only be achieved by applying an original design concept and persisting in total customization. Thanks to the close integration of music, art, and literature, the space obtains a fresh and lively rhythm, an internal elegance with a powerful grandeur, and an extension of the line beyond volume and space that overlaps and moderates the empty space, all of which contribute to an unparalleled spiritual feeling in the house.

Design Specification
1. Space - Definition
The design and planning of this project began as a blank slate, ending in the creation of an exclusive space and a functional setting. An overlap in the extension of the visual space and a difference in height of material boundaries was adopted to create spacious public areas, stunning master rooms, and delicately feminine rooms, establishing a combination of well-fitting spatial effects and extraordinary scenes.

2. Music, Art, Literature, Nature, and Environmental protection

Music
Porch area entry greets visitors with a white stereo sequence of ascending and descending, delicate 30-degree cones. Under the glow of the top wall light, a subtle overlap of light and shade is present. This idea comes from the large pipe organs in a church, which transform a room by filling it with melodious polyphony, enabling a syncretic theme to emerge via dynamic and static states.

Art
Huge handmade glass chandeliers, which are designed by cutting-edge New York designers, are hung above the dining tables, and a well-known painting is hung on the wall in the background to demonstrate an unparalleled grandeur. Extensive collections can be seen across the room. Chinese and foreign masterpieces are on display, creating an enriched life of art.

Literature
Instead of TV walls, the perfect combination of a stone fireplace and bookshelves enables a sense of artistic literacy to spread across the entire room—an exquisite environment to listen to music or read in solitude. A portion of the shelf is deliberately disengaged from the wall to break free from the extravagance of the soft background light and to highlight the contrast of materials with the thick and thin wood and iron frames. Below are the marble fireplace and low-mounted cabinets, which are known as the connecting theme of humanity in this project.

Nature and Environmental Protection
To fulfill the human desire for nature, a huge green-wall is set in the balcony, and creatively crafted green plants, mescals, are placed at the forefront of this landscape to bring forth the feeling of nature in the room. Working in concert with the fresh green walls, a giant long African-teak table is placed in the middle of the restaurant, demonstrating smooth and clean strokes and extraordinary grandeur. Non-toxic, low formaldehyde sheets, adhesives, and indoor plants are present in all the rooms, bringing a healthy and green life into the space.

6. The Focus on Materials
In the public area, various ground materials are adopted for a barrier-free presentation that symbolizes the partition between the flow of the room and the individual spaces. A combination of varied materials, such as wood, cast iron, titanium, and natural stone that are used in the wall of the living room emphasize the delicate contrast and composition of the structure. Linear grass slots are set behind the low cabinets to conveniently hide messy pipelines. A large number of gray mirrors and mirrored stainless-steel materials used in the guest bathroom show a modern reflection of light and shade. The decorative lines of mirrors and stainless steel extend from the wall to the ceiling to amplify a sense of depth.
