West Lake Wetland: A Seamless Blend of Culture and Nature

Award-winning Residential Villa by IAPA Pty. Ltd

An exploration of the West Lake Wetland, a residential villa that redefines living spaces by blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor areas, and integrating cultural and natural elements in a modern oriental design concept.

The West Lake Wetland, a residential villa designed by IAPA Pty. Ltd, is a unique architectural marvel that draws inspiration from the diverse backgrounds and living needs of its clients. The villa is designed to provide a space that is not only functional but also full of imagination, a space that inspires and transcends the typical confines of interior design.

The design of the villa is a harmonious blend of cultural and natural elements, reflecting the interests of the clients. The man's interest in cultural elements and the woman's fascination with nature are beautifully integrated into the design, resulting in a living space that is both personal and universally appealing.

The unique feature of the West Lake Wetland is its ability to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. The interior and exterior are seamlessly connected, with the courtyard paving material extending into the interior, creating a sense of continuity and integration. This spatial continuity is further enhanced by a long bar and a bookshelf that pass through the tearoom and the video room, making the interior space more integrated.

The villa is designed with a warm color palette, using white marble, emulsion paints, and wood veneer. The use of these materials not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the villa but also contributes to its unique character. The villa's design is a testament to the design team's innovative approach and their commitment to creating a space that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

The West Lake Wetland is more than just a residential villa; it is a space that embodies the humanistic spirit and offers a different kind of living experience. It is a space that inspires, a space that takes its inhabitants away from the hustle and bustle of the city and transports them to a place of tranquility and introspection.

The villa was awarded the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020, a testament to its innovative design and the design team's commitment to excellence. The award is granted to creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
