Eastern Aesthetics
Eastern Aesthetics is the interior design of a villa in Suzhou, China, covering 1300 square meters. The design is based on the ideal lifestyle of the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty. Rooms are arranged in sequence along a central axis, following the classical craftsmanship of the Master of the Nets Garden in Suzhou. The wood walls were made by craftsmen of Ming style furniture, using customized wooden joints. Lighting fixtures in the courtyard resemble flower petals. Blue garden chairs stand beside wood rails, joining classical and contemporary elements.
Eastern Aesthetics Residence by Haihua Zhang has been highlighted as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Eastern Aesthetics Residence earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program that recognizes outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
