This is an indoor garden inside a residence with three floors. As a hollow building, I have

associated my design to the building in South China, which widely set courtyards inside (Courtyard

is an open area of ground which is surrounded by buildings or walls. ) Because the top of the open

space is sealed by glasses, I have designed a wooded spiral staircase to connect the upper floor and

lower floor, which is full of functional and ornamental.

In this work, I was inspired by Chinese Suzhou Garden and Japanese Dry Landscape Garden, which were both famous for their subtle and meaningful regional characteristics.

Courtyard

Moon Gate & Ornamental Perforated Window

Moon Gate, Ornamental Perforated Window and rocks are the three important elements in Suzhou Gardens. In my work, I have blended these elements in the whole space harmoniously.

Limbra Stone

Referring from the Japanese Dry Landscape Garden, I have paved the white sand on all the indoor garden. And the stones steps above the sand have perfectly reflected the deep link between the exotic rocks and sand in Dry Landscape Garden.

This is a living room in Chinese Song Dynasty Style. My design inspiration was mainly coming

from the cultural feelings of the last generation of Chinese intellectuals, and the Chinese traditional

interior design. The last generation has both delicate and elegant style as the intellectuals in Song

Dynasty, and the combination of fashion and taste as the modern people. Therefore, I have

extracted some elements from the paintings and decoration style of the Song Dynasty, and

combined them with the characteristics of modern interior design and the trend of fashion to

design such a set of traditional and stylish Chinese Living Room.

6

Mr. Wang Zhenfu described in his

book Cultural History of Chinese, that

Song Dynasty is a frail and gentle era

which thoughts and feelings have

changed gradually from the

enthusiastic style of Tang Dynasty to

reserved characteristic they own

Architecture, such as the people

worshiped the moon instead of the

sun, overlooked the star lonely instead

of dare to face the gushing sky, which

shown quiet and aggradational. The

interior design has also deeply

branded with these characteristics,

which artistic style was full of fresh,

rich poetic and pictorial splendor, and

consciousness conception creation.

8

Inheriting from the Tang Dynasty, the decorative patterns in

Song Dynasty were more elegant and beautiful. I have chosen the

hollowed out screen to separated the entrance and other function

areas but not completely cut the connection between them.

Through this way, the entrance still has a certain exchange and

occlusion with other areas and drawn the effect of view borrowing

and view supplying, so as to make the entrance more spacious and

bright in the visual. The fan above the shoe cabinet is the regional

element to carry out another one on the setting wall in mainly room.

The smallpox of the entrance is in grid format. As I want to make a visual connection with the hollowed our screen. The complicated screen, the simple smallpox and the fine lamp have created a special view between the reality and the illusion.

The mainly space of living room has

included a great deal of color element of

Song Dynasty. And the beige walls with

dark wood furniture have broken the

stereotyped style of Chinese interior

design. Inside my work, I have also added

some elements combining Chinese and

Western styles to reflect the generation

background of lives and active the

atmosphere of the whole space. For

example, I have put the more simple

brown fan instead of the wooden one on

the background in order to make the

space escape of stiff feelings, and

connect the environment to add a sense

of fashion.

On the other side of the living

room, I have chosen the element

loved by the scholars in the Song

Dynasty, bamboo, to replace cloth

curtains. And I specially used the

Lattice Door, a features of Song

Dynasty design, to replace the

balcony sliding door. The warm

yellow light, light color of bamboo

curtains, carpet and wallpaper

broke the depressed atmosphere

by the furniture in black and added

warmth to the indoor atmosphere.

And in the decorative elements, I

have selected the plain and concise

items to reflect the taste and

needs of the owner.

The dining room is a practical and ornamental area. Because the decorations in entrance and dining room are quit rich, I have set less items in it, even some blank areas. The decorations were just placed in the necessary place to connect with the design style of the whole area, which could offer a fairly comfortable dining environment for the owner.

The widget on the wall and the cabinet I have selected the decorations of Song Dynasty Style. And the other furniture were in modern study because of its functional usage.

With lotus as the theme,

the lobby is designed in the

style of integration of Chinese

and western. The furniture

and light-fixture adopted are

mainly concise Sinicism while

the ceiling and indoor layout

simple European style. In the

The inspiration comes from the architectural styles of both ancient China and Japan.

The whole adopts the Full

Moon Gate of Suzhou

Classical Garden. The white

wall, the bamboo curtain splint,

the wooden bed, the Japanese

style wind-bell droplight and

the lamps and lanterns with

strong Chinese flavor make the

teahouse full of tranquility and

quietness, as well as a

profound cultural atmosphere.

People sitting inside can enjoy

the tea and discover the truth of life.

This is another practical Japanese style room. Considering the size of this room, it could be a space for leisure, and a storage room as well. so that I have specially set a bamboo curtain in the inner side of the double acting door, by which could match the need of the air circulation and privacy between indoor and outdoor.

This series of furniture was inspired by Chinese characters “古(Gu)”, which means “ancient, old, long and plain” in English. In the meantime, the overall shape of the word “Gu” was suitable for design furniture to express the implication of my idea.

19

The upper basic function part of the

tea table is a plain as the long cross in the

word “古”. The archaic vertical line of the

word has played an important role to

support the desktop. And the top part of

it, in which I have also spent a careful

thinking, has been hollowed out to add a

function to place the vase.

I selected a type of Chinese Calligraphy to design. The feature of it is the bottom part which similar to the upside down trapezium. This tea table would more flexible in this special shape. The middle of the trapezium is hollow, and the top of in order to satisfy the need for storage, the top of the trapezium as well.

This shelf was inspired from two words “古”, one in normal type and on in upside down type. The function of this shelf is similar to the antique-and-curio shelf in China. I have connected these two words and painted the whole shelf in white, so as to form a shelf with both modern sense of simple and strong connotation.
