Living by the lake in the bustling city is never a simple abode; rather, it is a flowing philosophy of life and an aesthetic revolution in harmony with nature. Nantong, this city, has a kind of "river-sea grandeur", like the Yangtze River, which was gathering tremendous power before flowing into the sea, but now reveals a secluded beauty by the side of Zilang Lake. China Merchants Shekou Heyuan is precisely such a combination of tranquility and vigor.The China Merchants Heyuan Townhouse located by Zilang Lake is not a space that is in a hurry to express itself. Based on the forward-looking product thinking of China Merchants Shekou, Design 31 creates an artistic residence that is "hidden luxury within", holding a sense of awe towards nature, insight into life and dedication to art, to build a spiritual haven that transcends time.

Space is not the backdrop of art, but the site where art takes place. If art had a home, what would it look like? In the creations of the 31 Design team, we have witnessed a brand-new possibility: the abode of art is no longer a passive container, but an active and continuous creator. Focusing on the transition of space and discarding rigid wall partitions, the designer uses an open layout to make the space itself a flowing artistic language. This is precisely the first step of active creation in the space. It does not rely on the display of external artworks but rather gives birth to dynamic beauty through its own structure. Artworks express a vivid perception of vitality through freely blooming creations within it.

The collections and art albums collected from all over the world are carefully displayed in the cabinet, and the space exudes a natural atmosphere of an art museum. Under the designer's leadership, this place has been transformed into an ideal home integrating life, art and work.Home is never merely a place for art exhibitions; it is an extension of creative concepts, a dynamic art scene, and an inevitable choice to magnify the core aesthetic of "architectural sense, sculptural quality, and vitality" from a micro scale to a macro experience.

The overall layout is guided by the principle of "balanced symbiosis", integrating the smoky atmosphere of the Chinese kitchen, the openness of the Western kitchen, the interactivity of the island counter, the relaxation of the water bar, the gathering nature of the dining room and the ease of the reception area into a unified framework. The Chinese and Western kitchens not only maintain the independent order during cooking but also allow the aroma of the dishes to flow freely. The transition zone formed by the island counter connecting to the bar counter not only serves as a buffer between the kitchen and the dining room but also naturally hosts temporary light meals and casual drinks with friends. Soft furnishings in the same color family maintain visual coherence, allowing the hustle and bustle of a dinner party and the tranquility of casual conversation to switch seamlessly.

Each piece of furniture is ingeniously designed. It not only endows the space with an instinctive sense of free aesthetics but also conveys a silent power like a sculpture, making the space materialized as a naturally formed work of art. It creates a simple, timeless and sculptural design, and allows the changing nature, flowing art and social scenes to interweave here. In Italian, there is a word called "Senza Tempo", referring to those things that are not affected by time. We have no intention of reinventing anything, or any astonishing design, or following any type of trend. We just want to bring the beauty of nature back to the essence of life.

The first thing that catches the eye is the huge floor-to-ceiling Windows, which are like cut fragments of the sky, embedding the outdoor scenery into the interior without reservation. But it has never attempted to "frame" the scenery; instead, it has made the space an extension of the lake view, allowing nature to continuously participate in the shaping of the home in a flowing manner. With a warm earth tone as the base, the texture of Italian natural luxury stones is like the traces left by water erosion on the lake shore, or like the natural curves of branches growing in the wind. The designer materializes the awareness and feelings towards this world in every corner of the space, allowing people to be intoxicated by the purity within. The legendary masterpiece of Giorgio Armani and the steaming coffee cup here annotate elegance and taste.

As the escalator spirals upwards, a private lifestyle gradually unfolds. As you move forward, a symmetrical and orderly space unfolds before your eyes. The overall color tone is pure and unified, and the geometric lines are like extending fashion runways, jointly forming the visual focus of the second floor. Unconsciously, one's gaze will be drawn to the jewelry display stand in the center, which integrates the display style of high-end jewelry brands. The lighting gently wraps around each piece of jewelry in a 360° glow, not only continuing the natural and quiet luxury of the space but also outlining the owner's high-end aesthetic taste with restrained refinement.

This floor, which exclusively enjoys the function of relaxation, takes "vacation and living in nature" as its core concept. It naturally integrates the living and sleeping functions of the master bedroom suite. The fabric and wood elements reach a gentle consensus in the space. The progressive texture of the materials Outlines a natural, quiet and luxurious atmosphere. The headboard background wall is wrapped in delicate artistic wall fabric, with a texture as serene and soft as the tides under the moonlight. The slender shadow of the bamboo joint lamp creates a steady and quiet atmosphere. The exquisite and comfortable skin-friendly bedding spread out exudes the luxurious texture of a resort hotel, allowing people to shed the fatigue of the day and slowly fall asleep.

The senior room is equipped with a round table corner for reading and relaxation. The wooden-framed fabric background extends all the way to the ceiling, highlighting the unique design symbol of the space. The simple and efficient wooden lines blend with the exquisite and warm fabric, creating a serene atmosphere. The girls' room takes the childlike concept of "artistic imagination of the world" as its core, returning creativity and the perception of art to childhood, and creating a space full of imagination and vitality for them to freely explore ways to express the world.
