This case is an exquisite villa built with the ancient construction regulations of the Suzhou-style. In this Chinese-style house, BDSD Boundless Design blends poetic grace and luxury and beauty, weaving a new dreamlike romantic tune between Shanghai-style and New Chinese-style, so that Eastern and Western cultures collide and integrate, and elegance is contained in demure, building an tasteful artistic conception.

Push the door and enter, the tea room is to be seen immediately, and a greeting pine is located in front of it, which becomes a view for each other. This also echoes the Chinese etiquette of welcoming guests with tea. The leaky windows on the corridor wall are both separating and seeing, which expands the courtyard space and increases the spatial hierarchy. In the courtyard, a shadow of a tree, a window, a bush of secluded fences, a Taihu Lake stone, forming a fresh and exquisite ethereal artistic conception for the world inside the wall.

The three-entry structure makes the movement full of rituals, and the important life fields unfold one after another. The porch uses vertical windows to borrow the outdoor scenery, and the arc line increases the soft and romantic atmosphere of the space. The wall of the living room is divided and cut, combined with the windows of the porch, which is both a frame and a borrowed scene, having the vision transparent and unhindered. It is not only used for the distinction of the moving line, but also for the migration stroll. Entering the living room, the scenery outside the square-patterned window is constantly changing. The open field of the living room has a clear old Chinese etiquette system, and the jumping azure and vermilion colors break the calm dark tone. One movement and one stillness, one deep and one shallow, in the harmonious and unified layout scheduling, the bold color jumping, the Shanghai-style window grilles, corner decorations, and door cover patterns interpret the oriental charm, which not only reveals a unique poetry, but also highlights the strong personality and fashion.

The ubiquitous of windows and light and shadow has become an important topic for understanding the inner aesthetics of this mansion. The openwork screen connecting the living room and dining room makes the interaction more flexible. The texture of the octagonal carving simulates the "inadvertent" of the window leakage in the Suzhou-style garden, combining function and aesthetics, which seems to be separated but not separated, subtle and hazy. Here, the infinite spring view is shared between the "window" and the "window", and when the light and shadow pass by gently, it makes people wander into reverie. The skylight design of the dinning room not only adds a rich layer of light and shadow to the space, but also adds a view to the cornices exposed outside the skylight.

The hollow-shaped spiral staircase, and the retro wooden carved railing has a natural and deep texture, which like a landscape across time and space, bringing people back to the era of elegance and innocence.

The master bedroom follows a touch of classical vermilion, with a bright and atmospheric layout, full of antique grace and gentleness, creating a soothing and quiet resting environment. The second bedroom reveals a relaxed and calm attitude to life, and the ink paintings on the wall are virtual and real, as if living in the depths of the bamboo forest.
