Tipsy Paradise Casa

Tipsy Paradise Casa is a residential villa interior covering 1400 square metres. The plan places a ring-shaped wine cellar at the centre of the home. Banquet, reception and recreation areas are arranged around the cellar, so each area sits next to the wine cabinets. The central floor of the first level is opened so that daylight reaches the underground level. An arc-shaped outer ring and a curved stainless steel reflective surface reduce the visual pressure of the low ceiling and the beams. Solid wood, metal plate and ceramic board are used.

Yixian Green marble, a local stone, clads the walls below the third floor, so the building appears to sink into the natural setting.
