Relax Beside Nature: A Villa of Reservation by Sunny Chung

Award-Winning Residential Design Inspired by Nature and Travel

Immerse yourself in the world of "Relax Beside Nature," a residential design project by Sunny Chung that blends the serenity of nature with the sophistication of modern architecture. This villa, which won the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017, offers a unique living experience that is both luxurious and grounded in the natural world.

The inspiration for "Relax Beside Nature" came from the villa's breathtaking location, which boasts panoramic views of mountains and sea. The design incorporates large windows and a spacious terrace to fully take advantage of these views. The villa's owners, passionate travelers, wanted a space that reflected their love for exploration and could serve as a place to share their lifestyle with friends. The result is a villa that is not just a home, but a destination in itself.

What sets "Relax Beside Nature" apart from other residential designs is its unique use of materials and lighting. Solid woods with a natural aroma are used throughout the villa, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, the white floor and steel girders in the restaurant area create a cool, modern aesthetic. The lighting design further enhances the villa's unique features. By utilizing the slots in the steel girders, the designers were able to soften the light and create a play of light and shadow that adds depth and dimension to the space.

The villa's design also incorporates innovative architectural solutions. For example, the designers used a "double slanting" design to eliminate the need for a beam pillar in the tea area. This design, combined with the use of wood textures, transforms the space into a relaxing vacation villa. The use of H-beam girders also helps to control the lighting, creating a specific ambiance in each area of the villa.

The villa's layout is thoughtfully designed to accommodate different activities. The master bedroom, for example, is divided into an activity area, a sleep area, and a sofa viewing area. Each area is designed to maximize the villa's stunning views, providing a sense of relaxation and tranquility. The public area of the villa is designed to be flexible, allowing for individual or combined use without disturbance.

Despite the challenges posed by the large beam pillar in the tea area and the TV cabinet, the designers were able to overcome these obstacles through creative solutions. The concept of a "slanting roof," typically used in cabin design, was applied to these areas to create a cohesive and inviting space. The result is a villa that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and comfortable.

In conclusion, "Relax Beside Nature" is a testament to Sunny Chung's ability to blend form and function in residential design. This villa, with its unique design features and thoughtful layout, offers a living experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. It is no wonder that this project was awarded the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017, a testament to its outstanding design and innovation.
