Redsun Zhenghong: A Villa Inspired by Oriental Aesthetics

A Pursuit of Harmony and Implicit Beauty

Inspired by the red dowry in traditional Chinese weddings, the Redsun Zhenghong villa, designed by Menghua Sheng, is a stunning example of oriental aesthetics. Located in Zhuji, Zhejiang, China, this project is a homage to the hometown of Xi Shi, a renowned beauty in Chinese ancient history. The design of Redsun Zhenghong villa starts from a female perspective, aiming to create a space that embodies harmony and an implicit sense of beauty found in Eastern culture.

The villa's interior predominantly features the colors of plain white silk and deep red, with accents of vermilion, dark reddish purple, coccinellin, and cyan. This bold color palette creates a strong visual contrast and adds a touch of vibrancy to the space. The use of grey marble and large areas of dark walnut veneer perfectly complement the color scheme, while also adding a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The design of Redsun Zhenghong villa pays great attention to detail and uniqueness. Each room is tailored to the unique hobbies and characters of the clients, while maintaining a cohesive red tone throughout. The dining room, for example, emphasizes order and manner, with a custom walnut dining table and vermilion chairs upholstered in durable textiles. The lighting design in the dining room echoes that of the living room, creating a sense of continuity and harmony.

One of the standout features of the villa is the living room, which adopts an enclosed layout that is grand and open. This versatile space can be flexibly organized for various purposes, such as hosting guests or meetings. The sofa, made of two different kinds of leather, exudes a calm and inviting tone. The addition of metal elements in the tea table and acrylic lanterns infuses a modern touch, creating a perfect balance between scales, emotions, and storytelling.

The Redsun Zhenghong villa also includes a tea room in the basement, providing a serene space for tea ceremonies and meditation. Additionally, a modern family activity area is designed for family parties and gatherings. The biggest challenge in this project was striking a balance between traditional decoration and modern design elements, resulting in a space that seamlessly blends the two.

The Redsun Zhenghong villa was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2020 for its well-designed, practical, and innovative features. This prestigious award recognizes creations that meet professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world. The villa's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics showcases its commitment to excellence.

The Redsun Zhenghong villa is not just a home, but a testament to the beauty and elegance of Oriental aesthetics. With its unique design, harmonious color palette, and attention to detail, this villa is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of Eastern culture.
