Paradise Village Villa

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

This interior photograph presents an expansive contemporary living space oriented horizontally, approximately twice as wide as it is tall, flooded with natural daylight. Beginning with the ceiling, warm honey-colored wood panels stretch across the entire upper boundary, their golden tones suggesting afternoon sunlight on pale timber. A dark cylindrical column descends from this wooden sky at center, supporting a sculptural fireplace that resembles a flattened river stone in matte charcoal, cool and smooth like polished slate. Moving to the left foreground, a sculptural wooden chair with an angular, wing-like backrest presents warm chestnut tones, its surface appearing satiny and hand-finished. Beside it stands a geometric pedestal in rich walnut, cool and substantial as carved heartwood. The floor transitions from polished concrete in dove gray, cool underfoot like morning stone, to a large area rug featuring subtle botanical patterns in sage and silver, soft as pressed felt. The middle ground contains a generous cream-colored sofa dressed with multiple pillows in warm neutrals and soft grays, inviting as gathered clouds. Cylindrical brass floor lamps with domed tops flank the seating, their metallic surfaces warm as candlelight. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the composition's width, forested mountains recede in layers from deep emerald in the foreground to misty blue-gray at the horizon, suggesting cool forest air and pine fragrance. An outdoor terrace visible through the glass holds additional seating in charcoal tones. Sheer white curtains frame portions of the view, light and airy as morning mist. The overall atmosphere conveys peaceful stillness, the temperature moderate, the air carrying imagined freshness of mountain elevation and timber warmth.

Under the principle of respecting nature and protecting ecology, Paradise Village will maximize the resource advantages of the surrounding natural environment, integrate the environment of the times, by using contemporary methods to link the relationship between man and nature, with time, space and light as a link, and re-create, to realize the realm of "the unity of man and nature", and create a space in which people can gain full strength in spirit.
