Eastern Aesthetics
Eastern Aesthetics is the interior design of a villa in Suzhou, China, covering 1300 square meters. The design is based on the ideal lifestyle of the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty. Rooms are arranged in sequence along a central axis, following the classical craftsmanship of the Master of the Nets Garden in Suzhou. The wood walls were made by craftsmen of Ming style furniture, using customized wooden joints. Lighting fixtures in the courtyard resemble flower petals. Blue garden chairs stand beside wood rails, joining classical and contemporary elements.
Eastern Aesthetics Residence by Haihua Zhang was highlighted as a grand illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Eastern Aesthetics Residence was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design prize which celebrates superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
