Located on the top of a mountain in Fishing City, Chongqing, China, Hilltop House offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The designer took full advantage of this location by incorporating floor-to-ceiling glass exterior walls, transforming each floor into a monolithic glass masterpiece. The 60-meter corridor that surrounds the building on the negative layer provides an awe-inspiring view of the natural beauty that lies beyond.
What sets Hilltop House apart is its ability to cater to the diverse needs of three generations living under one roof. With careful consideration given to aesthetics, functionality, and the unique requirements of each family member, the interior design of this residence is a testament to the designer's attention to detail.
The integration of Chinese cultural elements further enhances the beauty of Hilltop House. Symbolic design elements, such as curved lines and shapes inspired by bamboo leaves and joints, create a seamless blend of traditional and modern styles. Water-themed lighting decorations add a touch of tranquility, while paying homage to the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese people.
From a technical standpoint, Hilltop House is a marvel of engineering. Despite the challenges posed by its narrow construction scope, the project was completed within a short period of time, thanks to the designer's expertise in project management. The result is a harmonious fusion of architecture and nature, where the occupants can immerse themselves in the beauty of the surroundings.
Hilltop House has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in 2020. This recognition is a testament to the innovative design, technical excellence, and contribution to quality of life improvements that this project represents.
With Hilltop House, Chun Tang has not only created a stunning residential space but has also redefined the way we experience architecture. This project serves as a reminder that living in harmony with nature is not only possible but can also be a source of inspiration and tranquility.
