For the façade of the home lobby, a glass curtain wall is constructed by the same style of glazed bricks used in the Deshou Palace, which is both high-end and textured. With the dual nourishment of Xianghu landscape and elegant demeanor, the design creates an elegant "Hermit Noble" realm for returning home, and reproduces the new picture of the "Xianghu Eight Sceneries".
The front hall of the gable slope roof is adorned with greeting murals of copper sculptures created by the intangible cultural heritage master Mr. Zhu Bingren. The entire work is set against the backdrop of the Western Garden Anthology, integrating Xianghu landscape and replicating the literati elegance of Song Dynasty. Through the interweaving and transformation of materials and craftsmanship, it reproduces the aesthetic essence of inheritance.
Design is a process of breaking boundaries and unleashing aesthetic philosophy. The designer is proficient in the profound meaning and has selected Panda White Luxury Stones for the construction of the reception desk in the front hall. It is minimalist in two colors, with appropriate shades, bringing people a natural feeling. After meticulous and repeated research, the designer applied the eight square ear shaped bottle structure of the Southern Song official kiln ice cracks into the background, symbolizing a blend of delicacy and force and complementation with each other. At the same time, He Paper, a "World Intangible Cultural Heritage", is also embedded to simulate dawn by fully utilizing its characteristics of the color, transparency, and texture, and overlaying the soft lighting, so as to completely showcase the warm, simple and beautiful side of He Paper in the project.
In the preface hall, stone slabs are taken as the bridge, and the water systems on both sides are used as the lake. The panoramic LED mobile screen dynamically projects the Xianghu scenes, creating an immersive experience of going across the lake on a moonlit night.
The circular ceiling and square sand table in Sages Gathering Pavilion create a pattern of "round sky and square earth", extracting cultural symbols from poetry, and making people experience the charm of Xianghu.
