Description of DesignVillas are born with the American prairie style in their look, so I continue with such environment-nature integration concept that Wright has emphasised and infuse the natural elements of the prairie school into family life. The overall tone focuses on the rock iron-brown and grassland autumn yellow, mixed with other earth colours, quite and country-like. Solid wood plays an important role in this space. In addition to the ancient furniture, almost every room is decorated with brown wood ceilings, where the original beautiful texture of wood is kept, which creates a harmonious visual effect together with the furniture of the same colour scheme and shows an exuberant and joyous picture.

Chen Cui, a Taiwanese designer living in Japan, has 13 years professional design experience (Taiwan, Tokyo, and Shanghai). She settled in Shanghai in 1997 working as a home designer for high-grade buildings. She insists on simple, practical, and elegant design style without too much artificial elements, which makes her works look natural, considerate and comfortable no matter whether it is in terms of space, furniture, or soft decoration.

Description of DesignAs the owner has traveled to many countries and loves traditional European building style, therefore I combined multiple elements in my design work including Greek, Byzantine, British style and American pastoral style. It is the unique mix-style coupled with foreign elements that have made the decoration stand out. Colourful and strong colour theme makes the whole house looks like a painting. Public areas are dominated by yellow colour and private areas are mainly pink. These two colours can be perfectly integrated. Furthermore, detailed design is another feature of this villa. It consists of basso-relievo on the wall and handmade flowers and plants on the ceiling, especially the colourful and patterned church style glasses, which make the whole house more vivid.

Description of DesignThe colour theme of this design is white. The living room of the house uses hollow structure from bottom to top, which makes two isolated areas have an extensive looking. A row of brown coloured wooden barrier on the first floor divided the top level and bottom level that look connected. The 12 metre staircase, different style wall bricks, and steel barriers make you have an extensive feeling. Actual/false connection of barriers and staircases gives you a lot of room for imagination. All staircases use suspended wooden boards. You may generate a mysterious floating feeling when you look at it from far away.

The founder of the Eric Tai interior design office, engaged in interior design in 1992. His work has won the “International Interior Design Award” by ANDREW MARTIN in 2009, which is called the OSCAR award of interior design. His designing style combined the eastern romantic with the western elegant, expressing the original graceful temperament.

Description of DesignFive thousand years of heritage constitutes profound content of the Chinese culture. So practical, contained, and controlled, the long tradition seems to alienate vogues from the Chinese culture. Rather, in this four-floor villa housing, our designer realises the quality life at Prime Time China, which can be both trendy and gorgeously luxurious. Stepping into the Xuan Guan (the hallway), the story is right there. Chairs of the Ming Dynasty are changed with boldest reformation, devoid of routine rigidity while boasting innovative novelty in the Chinese style. The glamorous pearl curtain prevents the fashion while retains the sense of mystery. Without complexity of forms, the living room features modern outlook which is so simple and clear-cut, rendering a novel style enriched with exhaustion of details. All Chinese elements are consistent like stream lines, presenting a house full of cultural tastes and surrounding hospitality. The independent tea room is equally impressive, with integral space exhibiting the philosophy that the realm of life has not its utmost destination, but includes all levels which just satisfy the soul to its full.

Description of DesignDesigners insert the contemporary style into this house where contrasts created the theme of the dwelling. Under the Black-and-Gold colour scheme, a visual excitement is exploded between the enclosure and the furniture plus the accessories in the living and dining area. Monochromatic tone and linear light troughs set up a formal volume for the space, and a timeless appeal with elegant accessories for the master and the mistress as well. Besides, dark stone and leather texture makes the contemporary furniture pops up obviously. Compare to the formal living area, bedrooms are softened and highlighted by lots of fabrics, warm colours and textures.

Gu Teng is the senior designer of Chinese interior design, member of IFI and CIDA. He has been awarded many prizes in Chinese Interior Exhibition and Hong Kong Asia & Pacific Design Competition.

Description of DesignThis is a work out of a very short time – 33 days. Most of the time the interior decoration and construction are conducted at the same time. In order to show modern Chinese style, I choose the wall and window of the villa as the benchmark. The whole villa is covered with strong culture taste. The lighting window and the fence, copy of AnHui architecture, all undergo an aging process. The surface of the glass window is engraved with many ancient characters. The surface of the wall is also covered with Chinese brush painting. It is simple but has a meaningful moral.

Christine Liu, Taiwan designer, is specialised in villa design. She has more than ten years professional experience and is good at American and European style decoration.

Description of DesignThis villa emphasises on mix-style of both American and Chinese. In order to present natural American style, I use large amounts of old elm, which undergoes simple treatment without changing their original texture. After that, I put them on the roof to represent roughness of American countryside. Furthermore, colour is one of the features of this villa. The ground floor uses orange colour, which soften the greenish-black colour of dinning room and aisle ceiling. The first floor has a pink coloured girl’s room and a bright yellow coloured boy’s room. The bathroom on the third floor uses green colour, which achieves the same result as the living room.

Description of DesignDetached house located in the east suburb of Beijing. Originally the house was designed by the other architect with “Spanish style”. We renovated the concrete frame to the modern house. In the range that does not change the structure, we move the placement of the window, cut the eaves and change the wall finishing from the paint to the block. Original structure includes the void in the east and south side, so we connect them laying out the same wooden floor to make the L-shape court. The first floor was originally separated to small bed rooms. We put the water closet in the centre of the plan and some of the partitions are replaced for the glass wall. These changes bring the transparency of the space.

Description of DesignBecause the entrance of the house looks like an European castle, I use trendy Spanish style for this house. I change the wooden beam and wall base used to be decorated by dark oak and complicated mosaic into light coloured oak.

Dynamic lines used in the corridor highlight the shaped doors. Marbles used in master bedroom and dinning room floor as well as the solid wood floor used inside bricks make you feel at ease. I initiatively use marbles with variable textures and modern style mosaic to decorate the bathroom of master bedroom, which make your life more modern and trendy.

His design involves office buildings, private luxury houses, and high-end sample houses. His design focuses on nature and sustainable development and he is good at minimal art, post modern and new classical style.

Description of DesignAs the entrance of this villa is too straight and does not compatible with surrounding environment, so I extend the entrance as a result to form a propitious entrance pattern. There is not too much suspended ceiling on the first floor after the position of air conditioning has been identified. I just use timber to form the ceiling. In addition, the best part of lighting in the basement is 2.4m from the frame bottom. If do not consider the ground heating, this space is only 2m. So I design this space as a family library and use successive arched beams on the top. The air conditioner is changed to a ground one and decorated with wooden blind door to maintain the same style with book cabinet.
