Discover the Hidden Beauty of Rural Home with a Modern Architecture Twist

The owner holds a deep passion for architecture and a vision to reimagine rural architecture in his hometown. Located in Jinshan, on the outskirts of Shanghai, his village's buildings features a monotonous, outdated style, especially compared to the modernized rural structures just across the road in Zhejiang. He approached the architect with a desire to create a distinctive, modern home - one that could show his villagers that houses can have diverse appearances and contribute, even in a small way, to transforming the village's architectural landscape.

The architect approached the design with the belief that architecture, interiors, and landscape should form a seamless whole. Embracing the site's expansive natural surroundings, they conceived a cross-axis composition inspired by Mies van der Rohe, creating a layout that enables views to permeate the space from every direction. Large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living and dining areas blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, immersing the home in a vibrant, ever-changing scene of rice fields. Minimal decoration eliminates distractions, allowing the space's pure essence to shine. For the owner, this second home is a serene retreat, engaging the senses with subtle plays of light and shadow and the beauty of changing seasons.
