Located in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou, this residence draws from nature for both structure and essence. Clean proportions and defined geometry provide order, while natural textures and soft transitions bring warmth and comfort. Western aesthetics lend clarity and balance, while Eastern philosophy adds depth and quiet contemplation. Together, they create a modern home of harmony and calm.
The entrance foyer bridges the outside world and the home’s inner calm. The combination of stone and wood introduces a sense of ceremony, setting the tone for a serene interior. Under bright light, artist Xue Song’s Peace — Dialogue with Magritte adds visual energy, while an openwork metal screen filters light gently through the space, balancing transparency and privacy.
Flowing naturally from the foyer, the resting area marks the transition between liveliness and repose. Dark wood furniture provides composure, soft fabrics add comfort, and light stone walls complete the balanced palette. Sunlight filters in, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
In the reception area, a curved ceiling enhances the sense of openness. Soft, diffused light outlines the space, while marble and wood veneer combine modern refinement with natural warmth. A round table and surrounding sofa form an inviting setting for conversation.
The tea area continues this sense of calm with minimal furnishings — a bench, tea table, and a simple lamp. Artist Xie Tian’s Notre-Dame de Paris adds a quiet artistic note, complementing the tranquil environment designed for reflection and connection.
The dining and living areas maintain a cohesive visual rhythm. A long Western-style dining table extends along the central axis, paired with transparent pendant lights and a stone backdrop. The gentle curves of the chairs soften the linear layout, creating balance. A round Chinese dining table nearby evokes the spirit of togetherness, illuminated by a layered chandelier that adds intimacy and warmth.
In the Western kitchen and dining area, cool metal meets textured stone, engaging both sight and touch. The space serves as a lively hub for family gatherings, blending practicality with understated elegance.
The corridor separates public and private zones with fluid continuity. On one wall, Liu Gangqiang’s Very West Lakereflects the local landscape and invites quiet contemplation. Opposite, Fu Bailin’s Iceland No. 6 captures minimalist beauty through an Eastern lens, expressing balance within motion.
The secondary master suite is defined by simplicity and calm. Behind the headboard, a stone backdrop suggests abstract mountains and water, echoing nature’s rhythm. Floor-to-ceiling windows open the space to light and views, while a sculptural bookshelf and window sofa encourage quiet reflection. The bathroom continues this sense of serenity with soft lighting around the bathtub, creating a private retreat.
The master suite pairs dark wood and fine metal details for an atmosphere of refinement. A geometric headboard wall adds depth and rhythm, while filtered light enhances the sense of quiet sophistication. In the ensuite, natural stone and considered lighting transform daily routines into moments of calm focus.
The living room combines wood tones and muted textiles for a relaxed setting. Green accents bring freshness, balancing family gathering and personal retreat. The senior bedroom prioritizes comfort, using warm hues, rounded furniture, and layered lighting to create a restful environment suited to daily needs.
The guest room adopts a composed palette of deep gray with subtle detailing, offering a quiet space for work and rest. The girl’s room, in soft pink and white, features curved furniture and gentle tones that nurture imagination and comfort.
The courtyard offers a peaceful contrast to the urban surroundings. Lush greenery frames views of the Hangzhou Arch, integrating city and nature. Circular seating around a fireplace creates a warm, inviting focal point — a place for quiet evenings and shared moments.
Overall, the project balances natural sensibility with human warmth. Western structure brings precision and order, while Eastern influence adds depth and emotion. The result is a home that reflects harmony, continuity, and the timeless connection between people, nature, and place.
