“There is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the courtyard, the tree can see the sky, and there is reading in the sky, it is not easy!”
--Lin Yutang
Mr. Lin Yutang’s house with a yard is the most ideal living place in the minds of every contemporary people. In our hearts, everyone has his own corner of the ideal yard, where there are flowers or simple. “Courtyard” and “garden” are indispensable architectural symbols in the construction of traditional Chinese housing. Courtyard and garden are not only a home, but also a long-standing cultural complex of Chinese people, which reflects people’s pursuit of spiritual and personal space.
The project name “Cheng” is the design inspiration, paying tribute to traditional Chinese culture with “Garden within yard” and “Yard in garden” , deducting with modern design techniques, and constructing Oriental aesthetics.
We hope that there will be no separation between the interior and the building, and the outdoor landscape will be extended to the interior, one scene at a time, and the water will alternate between the interior and the exterior.
