Surrounded by lakes and a dense forest, this waterfront villa in Shenzhen by Ace Design is both an enviable retreat and an art collector’s private paradise. Exuding a low-key contemporary aesthetic, it reflects the owner’s artistic endeavours. The house is envisioned as a “city within a city”, with a series of differentiated spaces that are structured to take its inhabitants on a journey that’s anchored by statement works of art.
“The owner of the house is an elegant, successful woman with a keen eye for aesthetics,” says Hui Xie, designer and founder of Ace Design. “She expressed her desire to create an artistic living habitat for her family and herself, so that art is always present in life and often echoes with cultural resonance.”
Working closely with the owner, Xie sought to design a unique home in which luxury and lifestyle would blend together in a unique and personal manner. “By projecting the taste in art, the depth of culture and the personalities of the residents, the presentation of daily fragments and the dialogue that returns back to the heart, the rhythm of the space’s core narrative is gradually laid out,” says Xie.
