Biguiyuan House

Biguiyuan House

Biguiyuan House is an exemplary residential interior design project located in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, China, distinguished by its sophisticated fusion of contemporary aesthetics and traditional feng shui principles. This remarkable 8,000-square-foot villa renovation, completed in July 2020, encompasses four floors and represents a significant transformation of a two-decade-old structure originally featuring Southeast Asian architectural elements. Designed by Jingyi Cai, the project is notable for its masterful manipulation of black and white contrasts, drawing inspiration from classical photography while incorporating modern geometric interpretations of European classical architectural elements. The design philosophy carefully balances minimalist aesthetics with dramatic visual impact, achieved through meticulous attention to color ratio control and spatial composition. The project's complexity was heightened by the necessity to accommodate the specific requirements of a six-member family and their pet while adhering to strict feng shui and numerological principles. The implementation utilized a sophisticated material palette including stainless steel, iron, glass, and ceramic tile, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship in their application. The design's success in harmonizing these diverse elements while maintaining functional efficiency and aesthetic excellence was recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category in 2021, acknowledging its innovative approach to residential interior design and its contribution to the field of contemporary living spaces.
