JDKJ Design



Short description

With regard to the Longjing Puyu Villa project, the designer uses Dongyang culture as the design theme, and by means of extracting and incorporating the classic architecture and cultural connotation of Dongyang, breaks the time barrier between the ancient and the present with ingenuity, createing a time-space dialogue between modern design and intangible cultural heritage on the one hand, and reintegrating and reconstructing the humanistic artistic conception of Dongyang that belongs to the present on the other. The project, which seeks to establish a deep and hidden house in the nature, is highly favored by the first-class directors and stars due to the charming landscape picture, comfortable living environment, and the distinctive geographical advantages of Hengdian.
There is a different landscape if we trace into the garden. Three antique buildings from the middle of the Qing Dynasty in Dongyang, Pan’an, and Tonglu stand together at the end of the painting bridge. They have white walls with green tiles, cornice columns, and other details that define the design of classical gardens, like ink in the lakeside shadow. As opposed to the gimmick of mindlessly duplicating and reproducing, the designer disperses contemporary Dongyang wood carvings across the room, causing the artworks’ interactions with viewers to differ in their humanistic connotations and compress their individual spiritual connotations.
Yan Yu Hall is the name of the Flower Hall. Yu denotes entertainment in traditional Chinese, while Yan means a feast or a time of calm. Yan Yu Hall interprets entertainment as a setting for relaxation. Customers may fully immerse themselves in the experience of “calm eliminating in the bamboo and catching up on unfinished books” thanks to the innovative space layout and decorating, which preserve all of the antique carved ancient architectural components in the hall.
The entire quadrangle style has been preserved in the antique Tonglu mansion. The intricately carved floral beams have a magnificent style in Dongyang wood carving, with motifs that appear to represent good fortune. A simple straightforward carver depicts an elegant and rich picture with a unique artistic language interpretation of Dongyang wood carving technology cultural appeal thanks to Pan’an’s transfer of the old house for the second floor ancient residential. Indoor wood carving technology is exquisite, with a distinct theme thanks to the carver wizardry.
The towering wood carvings that wrap the entire house startle us as soon as we enter the atrium. Years of grinding and washing have generated the distinctive color and texture in the wood substance. There are additional life vicissitudes and elegant “overtones” in addition to the elegant carving language. To give clients a sense of the collision and fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics as soon as they enter, designers have chosen very current art features of metal bars and Italian saddle leather craft furniture.
The designer takes shape, meaning, and materials from the wooden structure buildings, old furniture, wood carving, and bamboo weaving crafts in the “Pure Heart Art Gallery” after hundreds of years of accumulation, and shows exquisite ideas in details in accordance with the owner Mr. Zhao Chunxin’s desire to “collect Dongyang wood carving cultural gene.”
The designer uses the traditional hollow pattern applied to the window lattice and screen, with the extremely expensive Myanmar jade, blue water color, and warm wood texture against each other, highlight the luxury of the gas, but also deduce the deep and romantic vow of wood and stone. Dongyang wood carving is famous for figuring out the nature, flowers, and birds to great extent.
The design focuses on how classic features might be expressed in a contemporary way. It adheres to the ancient building’s cultural setting and mortise and tenon construction. Lighting, fire safety, and air conditioning are all in accordance with the building’s original design. It is finally integrated with the beam and wood after repeated calculations by the design team. The designer balances the Western aesthetic of gloss and texture with the Oriental taste of praise and shade in soft clothing, resulting in the peaceful artistic conception of “home is where the heart is.” In addition, the designer also chooses international ultra-modern fashion international brand furniture in this project.
People may be shocked by the beautiful painted wood. On the second floor’s tea culture hall, the stage is positioned in the middle, surrounded by the banquet hall and the booth. The semi-open stage is echoed by the expansive area, spreading the charm of dance to every visitor area. The cultural performance that had regional features intersected with the scene of the feast, and the dialectical coherence of the picture and mood was harmonious and self-contained.
Upholding a consistent integration of Chinese and Western, we can feel the comfort of modern soft decoration in the guest room and the deft blending of Chinese house shape and system through the meticulous landscape space separation. The designer uses the distinctive curled-up lion of Dongyang as its inspiration and incorporates noble and serene motifs into every aspect of the room, including pure copper ornaments on the shelves, Suzhou embroidery on the bed head and pillow, and wood engravings on the walls.
The project, according to the owner Zhao Chunxin, “not only carries the ambition of gathering Dongyang culture, but also represents a contemporary social center.” The design team integrate Dongyang traditions and customs to recreate old-time life scenes, and examine the fundamental qualities of classical architecture, as well as investigate the spiritual center of traditional culture using contemporary methods, thus reproducing “Dongyang poetry” in interaction and rebuilding the spiritual home of modern people in the end.
