The Tree & Villa by the Erhai Lake | Fusion Design

“The best scenery in Dali is in the CangShan mountain and the Erhai Lake, but the best scenery in them is in the Shuanglang Town.” Under the influence of the humanistic environment, Fusion Design gained different inspiration and ideas. He blends modernity and primitive simplicity in the resort, gives more space comfort and width to users, and creates a harmonious but different architectural order with row upon row of small buildings in Shuanglang Town.

Keeping the flying corners of Bai buildings, Fusion Design renovated the entire facade of the building. The exterior wall of the whole building was replaced by glass instead of being sealed with bricks, making the entire space transparent. While preserving the shape and spatial structure of the building, it allows people's vision to penetrate the entire space, enabling the triple dialogue and interaction of seeing the interior from the outside and then to the other outside.

In the interior, the designer uses the vault to divide the space, and each partition is covered with an vault. In this way, the construction of the spatial order can be completed without setting too many space blocks.

Based on the belief of the Bai nationality, white is chosen as the main color of this design. The designer did not choose fancy styles, but mainly white, with gray and wood to set the tone of retro. In this way, the originally dark indoor space becomes brighter, creating a quiet literary and artistic atmosphere.

Stairs are the time link of the building.Different from the white main color on the outside，a touch of vermilion wrapped in the stairs injects a fresh brightness into the space, bringing a sense of youth and vitality. However, it has be restrained because of the added precipitation of birch color, which reduces the brightness of the entire color and achieves the balance of the spatial color system.

As the stairs go up, people step into their own space. Although Dali has a strong national atmosphere, Fusion Design has added more modern elements to this design, making the entire interior space brighter and more casual.

The round arch facing the sea is a custom-made picture frame for natural scenery, which will perceively display the scenery of the seasons as time and climate change. No matter what season you visit, you will get a different aesthetic experience. As written in “Drunkard Pavilion Records”, “The changing pageant of the seasons can derive endless pleasure from the place.”

Space is a container for interaction, providing venues, appeals, emotions, and reveries for crowds. Bars and restaurants sitting by the sea are the best expression carriers. The linear lights and projection lights arranged according to the spatial order reflect the mottled light and shadow in the spot.   

Light and shadow are intertwined, and figures are floating. Does it matter if this is a dream? It’s rare to have a leisure time, so indulge in it!
