Tong'an Lane Villa

Project Background

Tong'an Lane Villa is a courtyard residence in a heritage-style lane in Shanghai. Our scope covered the ground-floor public spaces — the relationship between living room, kitchen and dining area and courtyard — together with the soft furnishing that accompanies them.

桐安里位于上海，是一处带庭院的风貌建筑宅邸。本次设计范围覆盖一层的公共空间—— 客厅、餐厨与庭院之间的整体关系，以及与之配套的软装陈设。

The brief raised a familiar question: heritage buildings come with historical texture and fixed dimensions. How can the ground-floor public realm serve the way people actually live today, while respecting the original layout and letting interior and courtyard read as one continuous experience?

设计面对的是一类典型命题：风貌建筑本身带有历史肌理与尺度限制， 如何在尊重原有格局的前提下，让一层公共空间真正服务于当下的生活方式， 并让室内与庭院形成连续的体验。

Design Approach

Starting from a metaphysical design philosophy, we went after the way a space is perceived rather than the immediate impact of a style.

我们以形而上的设计哲学为出发点，不追求风格的即时冲击，而是处理空间被感知的方式。

• A continuous language of floor and ceiling links living room, dining area and courtyard, blurring the line between inside and out
• Curved ceilings and concealed light coves soften every structural turn, so that light becomes the guide through the space
• Stone, timber veneer and textile answer to one another, setting a single tactile key across the floor
• Soft furnishing moves in step with the architecture — volume, weave and the form of each light fitting are aligned with the built scale

以连续的地面与天花语汇串联客厅、餐厨与庭院，模糊室内外的边界；以弧形天花与灯带柔化结构转折； 石材、木饰面与织物三种主材相互呼应；软装与空间同步推进。
