Plateau Villa by ACE DESIGN in Shenzhen, China

Artistic creativity creates worlds, and elegance returns the heart to life

A rare luxurious residential property not only enjoys exceptional resources but also responds uniquely to the lifestyle of its inhabitants, especially a refined life with an artistic aesthetic world.

The new villa by ACE DESIGN is a six-story townhouse located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. It is one of the top ten most luxurious villas in Shenzhen, a refined and serene modern masterpiece that has withstood the test of time.

Surrounded by lakes and dense forests, it allows owners to travel to Shenzhen Bay and South China Sea directly from their doorstep. Here, living in a 'city within the city', they find absolute tranquility and beauty.

Compared to the scarcity of villas, it is even rarer for villa owners to have exceptional taste and aesthetic level that goes beyond resources, reflecting their endless artistic treasures and lifestyle.

Modern artistic villa reflecting life and aesthetics

ACE DESIGN always believes that living space is a home for pleasant life and a gallery of artistic collections. Art serves life, hearts of people, and the vision of an ideal home. In Huai Si's healthy lifestyle system, founder of ACE DESIGN, she states that luxury housing designers must have a deep understanding of inhabitants, revealing their cultural ideals and artistic preferences to create truly good design.

Shuang Lian's artwork on the first floor uses calm, chaotic and quiet lines to focus on tranquility, record realism through emptiness and create a Zen consciousness, evoking implicit associations with cultural contexts. Even dynamic changes in cyclical memories convey the purity of artistic practice.

"The owner of this project is an elegant, successful woman with a keen taste. Her collection of contemporary art demonstrates her luxurious lifestyle. At the beginning of the design, she expressed a desire to create an artistic living environment for her family and herself, where art is always part of life and often resonates with cultural harmonies," says the designer.

Nature awakens interest, art brings fame, culture integrates the world. The owners' taste preferences and feelings rise to a level of physical and mental pleasure and resonance thanks to the new strategic development from ACE DESIGN, leading to the creation of daily beauty.

"Cactus" is a work by Italian artist Loris Cecchini. The three-dimensional structure of steel and cactus confirms the interaction between "organic" and "natural." It expresses the inner beauty of plants in their complex evolution through forms and structural paths. A timeless connection arises between macro- and micro-worlds, uniting the atmosphere of interaction among family members.

Light is the natural essence, carrier of beautiful metaphors, guiding every movement of people in space.

"Canyon" creates a gap that brings wind and light, leaving large areas of white minimalist space. It gives art of light and shadow over time, connecting subtle changes and interactive pleasures between floors.

By changing the structure of light and movement of people, a long narrow canyon was created on the side wall of the first floor dining room. The daughter's bedroom on the second floor opens to this canyon, allowing parents and children to interact through windows. This small detail promotes close family relationships.

It also serves as a temporary kitchen space for the hostess. Daily artistic decoration makes the space interesting, conveying the taste of life and a warm atmosphere of family interaction.

Interaction between people, family, objects, and art with life is often the focus of home design, determining the scale of the scene. Here, living echoes of life are found in works by contemporary Chinese artists such as Shuang Lian, Bing Xuyi, Shaodji Liang and Li Zhou, as well as in the Western perspective from renowned Italian artist Loris Cecchini.

When East and West meet and collide in spatial scenes, they create a poetic bridge between physical space and the hearts of inhabitants.

Healthy home with pleasure of nature

The fact is that designers must have an holistic vision, logic and systemic problem-solving capabilities to make modern luxury real estate design stand out in the trends of time and convey true value of lifestyle.

In response to this project characterized by lake life and low-density seclusion, designers need to solve more realistic renovation challenges — considering the humid environment of Shenzhen and the water location of the project, how to transform the original four-story villa into a six-story building? How to solve the problem of long, narrow spaces with lighting and ventilation only from two sides of the building? How to change the monotonous dynamics of the original structure? And how to ensure a stylish and comfortable modern lifestyle for the family?

Open floor plan is created to connect separate first and lower floors, delivering aesthetic that surpasses nature with a butterfly decoration. Two butterflies are inspired by artist Li Zhou's work "Metamorphosis", using traditional weaving techniques to create flexible wires in the shape of a light and dynamic butterfly, emerging from its chrysalis showing the tension of rebirth. Finally, two separate floors are connected flexibly, creating a magnificent panorama.

Basement is the central place for family entertainment. Each family member can find a corner where they can comfortably relax, together but without disturbing others. "Humanity in space stems from the intertwining smells of family and taste of culture".

A folding screen with crane pattern on black background brings oriental poetry to the corner, achieving aesthetic integration of traditional culture and modern living. At this moment, people can enjoy the pleasure of lightness, comfort and tranquility with a book in hand, surrounded by warmth of daylight and beauty of the four seasons.

Different staircases, as functional elements and artistic installations, soften the monotony of space and allow valuable ventilation to penetrate previously dark, one-sided basement. A hanging hatch following the active staircase order brings light and shadow into space and accompanies each family member's daily trajectory.

Artist Shanchun Yan's "Weihu Series" combines Chinese and Western science, creating an internal cultural map with the spirit of space through a deeper understanding of form, image and meaning.

Elegant dreams and misty verses from Weihu are abstractly depicted using continuous ink paintings. The space presents pleasure that can be studied, reflected upon and enjoyed in immersive mode, also showing unique taste packaged in real literature. Relying on masterpieces, designers integrated perception of life and aesthetics into the family's daily atmosphere, making the space not only artistically created but also rhythmic.

"Only by collecting real fragments of life can one make a design that resonates with the heart of each family member." Here, the appearance of the house becomes living scenes under the brush of designers: gathering friends, three meals a day for the family, natural views from the window... All scenes transform into literary context integrated into life. This is the connection between people and things, between things — making each life scene an abstract interpretation of the spiritual world, elevating to the soul of art.

Art that captivates and connects the spirit

Exploring home design, ACE DESIGN aims to create growing family interaction relationships and timeless artistic spirit in domestic culture, not just a room.

The daughter's bedroom design goes beyond abstract language and embraces youthful trendy art with a wonderful combination of colors and playful spirit, approaching real life scenes infinitely while evoking emotional resonance.

Entering the third floor, a calm and peaceful rest area is presented with nature, art, elegance and culture. Without being limited to a specific style, designers create a blend of oriental elegance or Western aesthetics, Chinese charm or French classicism, colorful ink or black and white minimalism to fill the space with various artistic spirits and expressions.

Elegant retro branches and birds, forest greenery, a dot on the bed and wardrobe, light penetrating through curtains... This area gains strong vitality and unlimited aesthetic tension thanks to the combination of oriental and modern styles.

The impression conveyed by artist Giovanni Occola's work is to capture the invaluable moment among chaotic natural tension and frame it on a modern canvas. Abstract artistic relationships between colors and earth shown in the painting create a powerful theatrical scene of images, which combines with silence from space itself and touches hearts.

Without superficial decoration, the combination of white canvas and soft tone, along with contrast between angles and curves demonstrates beauty of freedom through simplicity. Designers aimed to find balance between noisy city and secluded rest of art and nature, conveying freedom of culture and spirit.

Capturing light and shadows, gentle breeze and clean nature, each scene in space is delicately detailed and alive, comforting mind and body, giving a sense of belonging to the environment based on the philosophy of artistic life in the main bedroom.

Free natural light and shadows. How art and life harmonize, inner perception and feelings of inhabitants — this is the true measure of design.

In pursuit of boundless freedom, elevated nature of light and shadows undoubtedly corresponds to the divine nature of art which in turn transforms into a continuous experience of temporal measurement beyond material.

Returning to the essence of life. ACE DESIGN hopes that design language can become a cultural medium penetrating between people and scenes. That is why these artistic corners were created in the living environment — stunning photos give a sense of immersion, turning every step of daily life into a beautiful melody.

Family conversations, nature appreciation, rest and relaxation — main functions of the space that inhabitants desire. For the fitness zone on the staircase, ACE DESIGN makes light and shadow main protagonists using art as an anchor for emotional uplift and fitness culture as a focus to create experiences growing together with the rich and colorful life of inhabitants.

Combining spatial environment created by art, designers produce additional value corresponding to lifestyle, returning to an atmosphere of self-sufficiency, richness and warmth.

Thus, describing the taste in art, depth of culture, individuality of inhabitants, presentation of daily fragments and dialogue returning to the heart, the rhythm of core space gradually unfolds. And flower, leaf, painting, scene in daily details become artistic emotional points.

Home carrier, "the theater of life", aligns with creation of artistic taste. Designers turned the owner's wine and cinema taste into diverse, immersive and artistic "theater" — like a Croatian rhapsody. It is a living story unfolding through optical illusions and colors, reaching rich inner world.

"In a sense, design is a means of self-expression and self-revelation. Another side of inner expression: to fully relax, perceive body and mind, generate emotions, discover oneself and develop empathy with a certain culture," say the designers.
