Shunde Estuary Glory Villa

Inspired by the three-room-and-two-corridor layout typical to local folk houses in Lingnan, we have created a diverse space with the living room as the center and“an indoor reception courtyard, a compound vertical courtyard, and an inner courtyard”surrounding it. Centering on a super-large traverse living room that is 12 m wide and as high as two floors, the south and the north of the building look like two semi-enclosed “Ls”, forming two courtyards respectively in the north and south that extend the open landscape between the building and courtyards and make the building less massive. Owing to the horizontal large cornice and floor-to-ceiling windows, the building looks less cumbersome but better daylighted. We have designed a balcony or terrace for each space and suite to connect and extend indoor and outdoor space.
