Villa Riviera: A Sophisticated Residential House in Shanghai

Creating a Natural and Artistic Living Space

The Villa Riviera, designed by Willie Zhang and Lin Sheng, is a stunning residential house in Shanghai that combines natural elements with artistic expression. With its unique design and attention to detail, this house offers a sophisticated and elegant living space.

At the heart of the Villa Riviera's design is the desire to create a home that is natural, vivid, artistic, and changeable. The designers focused on introducing natural lighting into every corner of the house, using the changing light of the four seasons to create different atmospheres. Each space is carefully designed to reflect the color system of the natural theme, resulting in a harmonious and visually appealing environment.

What sets the Villa Riviera apart is its deliberate and sophisticated approach to design. With an area of 380 square meters, every space in this house has been meticulously crafted to reflect the owner's artistic sensibilities. The visual aesthetics are seamlessly integrated with stylish connotations, creating a space that is both visually stunning and functional.

The realization of the Villa Riviera's design is a testament to the ingenuity of the designers. The entrance features a top skylight, allowing natural light to flood the space. The second-floor wall has been replaced with transparent glass, connecting the first and second floors and allowing the natural light to enter the room. This design choice not only brings in ample natural light but also creates beautiful light and shadow effects that enhance the overall ambiance of the house.

The Villa Riviera's specifications further highlight its unique design. The basement is connected to the top floor, and wooden partitions are used to separate the outdoor garden, reflecting the natural sunshine. This creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow throughout the year. The central island in the first floor's dining area serves as a focal point, connecting the different spaces and adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.

The Villa Riviera is a true masterpiece that seamlessly blends art, architecture, and design. Its unique features and attention to detail make it a standout residential house in Shanghai. The neutral tones of gray and black in the living room create a sophisticated atmosphere, while the bedroom space exudes a resort-like ambiance, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Villa Riviera project began in March 2017 and was completed in March 2018 in Shanghai. The designers, Willie Zhang and Lin Sheng, conducted extensive research to ensure that the design incorporated the latest trends and techniques. The combination of light and shadow was a key focus, creating a fashionable and elegant living space that is both visually appealing and functional.

Despite the challenges posed by the building structure and the owner's specific requirements, the designers successfully overcame these obstacles. The limitation of natural lighting and ventilation in the original basement was addressed through innovative design choices, and the integration of visual beauty and style connotation was achieved through careful planning and execution.

The Villa Riviera is a testament to the creativity and skill of its designers, Willie Zhang and Lin Sheng. Their attention to detail and commitment to creating a unique and sophisticated living space have resulted in a truly remarkable residential house in Shanghai.
