Mountain Mansion: Blending Nature and Comfort

Award-winning Residence Designed by Tian Zheng

The landscape designer of this project believes that design should be inspired by nature, creating a space that is comfortable and in harmony with its surroundings.

Mountain Mansion, located in the beautiful city of Changshu, China, is a residence that seamlessly blends into its natural environment. Designed by Tian Zheng, this project takes inspiration from the surrounding landscape, creating a space that allows residents to feel connected to nature.

Changshu is blessed with abundant natural resources, including a national parkland in the west and a river that runs through the city. The landscape designer saw the potential in this location and extracted the natural elements to create a unique living experience. As soon as you step into Mountain Mansion, you are transported into a park-like setting, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The design of Mountain Mansion is realized using a combination of Chinese and Portuguese moorstone, as well as aluminum plate. These materials not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the residence but also ensure its durability and longevity.

Before embarking on the project, the design team conducted extensive research on the history of Changshu and its surroundings. This research helped them understand the importance of blending the natural elements into the design. The goal was not to create a space but to provide a place where residents could truly experience nature.

The design of Mountain Mansion presented several challenges, including how to extract the natural elements and how to make residents feel like they were living in a park. The design team overcame these challenges through their creativity and technical expertise, resulting in a residence that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings.

Mountain Mansion has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Landscape Planning and Garden Design category in 2022. This prestigious award acknowledges the project's innovative and ingenious design, which combines art, science, and technology to improve the quality of life for its residents.

Mountain Mansion is a testament to the power of design to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also in harmony with nature. Tian Zheng and the design team have successfully created a residence that allows residents to experience the beauty of the surrounding landscape while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
