Xiyun: A Model House Inspired by Greek Mythology

Bringing Mysterious Charm to Home Design

Project Xiyun, designed by Shenen Design, draws inspiration from Greek mythology, specifically the gods Chaos and Gaea. This unique model house encourages the younger generation to settle and start a family in the ancient Chinese city of Zhengzhou, creating a bright and confident future.

Inspired by the birth of new life from chaos, Xiyun embodies a fearless and heroic spirit. The design team at Shenen Design paints a brave and adventurous picture of home, infusing it with a mysterious and refreshing perspective. The use of contrasting elements sets Xiyun apart from other model houses, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere.

The color palette of Xiyun is carefully curated to evoke a sense of vibrancy and energy. The designers have chosen a bright and vivid orange to break the elegant grey tones, adding a pop of excitement to the space. In addition, the introduction of leather as a contrasting material softens the overall setting, providing a touch of comfort amidst the marble and metallic elements.

Located in Zhengzhou, China, the Xiyun project began in January 2018 and was completed in August 2018. The design team, led by Creative Director Guomin Shen and Lead Designer Chuanhai Song, worked tirelessly to bring their vision to life.

Project Xiyun is a testament to the power of mythology and its ability to inspire innovative design. By infusing the spirit of Greek gods into a modern model house, Shenen Design has created a space that is both captivating and inviting. The unique combination of contrasting colors and materials sets Xiyun apart, offering a refreshing perspective on home design.
