Beauty is the name of something that does not exist. When we give beauty to things in exchange for the joy they bring us, From then on, time secretly hid deeper emotions within it. Retro is not about looking back as one might think, But then, in the name of remembrance, the emotions buried within will be sealed away, It is constantly transformed into the joy of life. In the core area of Tianfu New Area, Chengdu, Luhu Eco-City is like a pearl embedded in the green veins of the city. Here, natural ecology and contemporary life blend perfectly, providing residents with a quiet yet vibrant space. This new city, based on its rich ecological resources, integrates high-end residence, innovative industries and leisure entertainment, creating a multi-dimensional ideal living space.

"This is not merely nostalgia, but a deconstruction of life experiences," said Luo, the director of Shutian Design. Deconstructing the classics with modern strokes, it redefines the warmth and grandeur of home between the deep walnut wood tones and the dynamic natural light and shadow, and between retro symbols and modern functions. The design inspiration comes from the eternal exploration of structure and color by the post-impressionist master Paul Cezanne. In Cezanne's works, objects are constantly deconstructed and reshaped in the play of light and shadow, inspiring designers' attitude towards "history" : they should not only hold a sense of "tribute", cherishing the weight and beauty accumulated by time; It is even more necessary to have the courage to "inherit" and give it a new lease of life with contemporary design language.

The design soul of this case revolves around the "light retro" aesthetic, which is a meticulously planned art of freezing time. It is not a simple replication of the past, but rather a meander between retro sentiment and modern spirit, allowing the cultural imprints of different eras to elegantly collide, overlap and coexist here. Luo Tan, the director of Shutian Design. Thus, "Old soul, new expression" has become the consistent philosophy. By applying modern exquisite craftsmanship, it reinterprets retro symbols and finds a delicate balance among material texture, light and shadow transformation, and practical functions.

Entering the living room, the open-plan large horizontal layout immediately catches the eye. The living room, dining room and Western kitchen are seamlessly integrated, highlighting the grandeur of the grand residence. The entire floor-to-ceiling window tears open the door between the inside and outside in the space, bringing the light of the sky, the shadows of the clouds and the greenery outside into the interior, creating a sense of transparency and layering in the space. The dark-toned wooden walls set a stable and grand tone, with the warm texture of walnut wood permeating throughout. In terms of soft furnishing selection, the essence of "light retro" is closely followed. The furniture designs draw on the retro charm, while the materials are boldly integrated. The aged leather sofa, the cold and lustrous metal details and the warm wood elements interweave. The modern and minimalist style coffee table, side table and table lamp, with their refined lines and practicality, perfectly harmonize the nostalgic atmosphere of the space, creating a warm and nostalgic yet not heavy modern life picture.

The restaurant space continues the overall retro literary atmosphere, achieving a delicate balance between aesthetic unity and practical life. The space maintains an open layout with the living room and the Western kitchen, connecting the physical and the spiritual. Natural light filters through the glass, flowing over the dark woodwork and retro elements, adding warmth and a sense of ceremony to the dining time. Soft furnishings here become the narrator of time. The selection of dining tables, while maintaining the basic form composition, adds visual layers of structure and volume. The heavy volume sense highlights the quality, while the elaborately decorated metal details instantly brighten the vision and infuse a modern sense of refinement. The vintage dining chairs paired with it have a walnut wood frame that exudes a warm and retro luster like jade, creating a collision with the modern material and lines of the chair surface. This perfectly balances the warm and retro feel with the modern atmosphere, making every meal a life ritual that is both aesthetically pleasing and warm.

The master bedroom space continues the material language and composed temperament of the living and dining rooms. Dark woodwork and high-quality fabrics set a serene tone. The borderless design that is seamlessly integrated with the wardrobe not only enhances the spatial fluidity but also, with its unparalleled sense of transparency, vividly showcases the spatial layout and expansive view of the large-space residence. The soft furnishing strategy focuses on balancing the retro charm with ultimate comfort. The overall atmosphere is reserved and elegant, reducing the number of embellishments but increasing the stacking of materials. When the visual focus falls on the Cassina high-back lounge chair, it is itself an art piece of furniture with great collection value. Its unique shape and comfortable wrapping feel perfectly blend artistry and rest function, becoming a spiritual symbol of the space.

The secondary bedroom is different from the slightly solemn master bedroom. As a rest area, the secondary bedroom is closer to the aesthetic school of lightness. The white wainscoting extends all the way to the bedding, contrasting with the black wood veneer. The golden vintage picture frame opens up two unique narrative Windows, making sleep no longer an independent act detached from daily life, while also turning the joy of waking up and being here into a second dream.

This private residence in Luhu Wanhua is a successful practice of the "light retro" aesthetic. It breaks free from the shackles of style, building a bridge connecting the past and the present in the deep walnut wood, dynamic light and shadow, and modern craftsmanship. In this extraordinary residence by Lu Lake, we infuse it with the soul of "light retro", interpreting what a true poetic abode is. Deeply pay tribute to the flowing time and calmly embrace the abundance and comfort of the present. " Cezanne's artistic philosophy of deconstruction and reconstruction is transformed into spatial language here. Every retro symbol is endowed with contemporary significance, and every practical need is wrapped in an aesthetic cloak.
