Mandarin Palace: A Modern Utopia Inspired by Ancient Peach Blossom Land

Designer Kris Lin Transforms Traditional Chinese Elements into a Luxurious Residence

Inspired by the ancient Peach Blossom Land, a hidden utopia that has fascinated scholars for centuries, designer Kris Lin has created the Mandarin Palace. This residence in Nanjing, China, is a perfect blend of natural beauty and oriental elements, offering a peaceful and artistic living space.

The Mandarin Palace borrows the "poetic living" concept of the Peach Blossom Land, delivering a mysterious, beautiful, and livable environment. It is a perfect combination of humanity and nature, offering residents a tranquil space to enjoy a carefree atmosphere, isolated from the world.

The unique natural landscape is integrated with oriental elements such as peach blossom, pebbles, and grid patterns. These elements, described in the Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring, are adjusted to local conditions to create a comfortable and artistic conception. The result is a residence that brings peace of mind and allows residents to enjoy a fairy-like moment.

The peach blossom tree is turned into wood carving and applied to the wall, while numerous cobblestones are placed in Fb1 and F1, adding a touch of Chinese element. The main materials used are wood, marble, and grilles in wood, giving the residence a luxurious yet comfortable feel. With a dimension of 900 SM, the Mandarin Palace is a spacious and elegant residence that embodies the essence of Chinese culture and natural beauty.

The project was designed by Kris Lin and Jiayu Yang, who visited the site to conduct research and find the suitable style for the project. They made physical models on walls and floors to ensure that the design fits perfectly with the project. Exhibited in Nanjing, China, in April 2015, the Mandarin Palace is a testament to the designers' ability to combine luxury and comfort in interior design.

The Mandarin Palace has been recognized for its outstanding design, winning the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017. The award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. They are venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
