Designed by T.K. Chu Design Group, the four-story villa named Greencore is located among hills, woods, and lakes. With angled cornices and floor-to-ceiling windows, it shows an integration of traditional Chinese garden and modern building, which combines people, nature, and architecture perfectly, and gives off a vague animist aura.

“Design delves into the essence of things as deeply as possible to provide us with a different perspective of the world. First-rate designers cultivate balance and moderation. Subtle yet well-thought design elements brighten up our homes, as only an emotional atmosphere can make a space worth living in it.”

In the north of Amsterdam, a traditional ‘’Dijkhuis’’ (dyke house) has been transformed into a family home by Studio Modijefsky. This kind of building, as you might have guessed, is built next to a dyke. As building a dyke raises the ground level, it means that houses around it have a back area (and garden) at the lower, original level.
