As art gains increasing importance for wealthy Chinese families, the fast pace of working life necessitates seeking inspiration and regeneration within the domestic walls. The interior design of this show apartment focuses on enhancing the beauty of the smallest rituals of everyday life, while the carefully curated works of art set the style and character of the spaces.
The design of Yanlord Nanxing Show Apartment required a close collaboration between the designers, the client, and specialized workers. The team's vision and expertise were infused with the client's aspirations, resulting in a highly specialized design that showcases the capabilities of specialized manufacturers and the beauty of each material. Great attention was paid to every joint, especially where different materials meet, and the play of light and shadow was meticulously calibrated to the millimeter, adding depth to the space.
Spanning 185 square meters on a single floor, Yanlord Nanxing Show Apartment is located in Hangzhou, near the picturesque river Qian Tang. The surrounding residential development provides a serene and beautiful landscape, further enhancing the overall experience of the space.
Nanxing Yanlord show apartment reveals itself gradually to its users, much like the aging process of a fine wine. The warm tones of the wood cabinetry at the entrance create a welcoming ambiance as you leave your coat and shoes behind. The apartment then unfolds into an open living room with a large window that connects the interior with the outside world, while the western-style dining area adds a touch of elegance. Each room within the apartment utilizes different materials and palettes to evoke distinct feelings and enhance functionality.
The design of Yanlord Nanxing Show Apartment is not just about aesthetics; it aims to create meaningful moments for its inhabitants. Through years of research and experimentation, the design team has explored how geometry, materials, and light interact with our subconscious, magnifying the experience of everyday life. The success of the project lies not only in its beauty but also in its ability to convey a universal message that resonates with Hangzhou's culture and society.
