North Side Garden
The north side of the villa is embracing the nature view, which set a bunch of view spots. The formal logic of building has a fluid rhythmic formal language with the slope of the mountain.
Interior Design - Living Room
The Interior design is inspired by the style of Wabi-Sabi and Zen atmosphere. It explored the beauty of simple and imperfection that bring a sense of peacefulness. It is not decorated but expected to create a illusion of frozen time that people can be chill to talk, read, to appreciate artworks
The building is an art of respecting nature. The texture of micro cement gives the soft diffuse light reflection, the sunlight becomes warmer and softer. Most of the furniture is made of cherry wood creating a sense of irreproducible beauty.
