Cheng Du Villa

DETAILS
The villa, from a rich and dynamic region of China, takes its inspiration from the splendid Palladian mansions of the Italian upper middle class and reproduces the characteristic details. Developed on three levels of approximately 500 sm each and a roof top of about 200 sm for a total of 1700 sm housing. Each floor is designed for different activities, with a rational distribution of the large spaces available.
The company Santo Passaia was contacted for the service of consulting to the interior design.

Entrance area

The access to the house is made up of a double-height loggia with columns in white Carrara marble. Inside the rectangular atrium, covered with white panelling, acts as a filter at the actual entrance of the villa, consisting of a square-plan room composed of two lateral storage walls with niches and sculptures on the sides and a central table with hanging crystal chandelier. Continuing we find a larger room in the center of the floor plan and characterized by a winding staircase that branches on the different levels of the house. The whole, in walnut finish with black details, is adorned by columns with square base with Corinthian capital, tapered pilasters, arches and frames.

The living area

The room is located in the east wing of the villa. The sumptuousness of this space is given by the double height ceiling, the elegance of the finishes and the cladding and the high columns that accentuate its grandeur. The relaxation area is lined with two sofas in style to the side of the fireplace completely covered in boiserie and framed by columns with gold-colored Corinthian capital. On the sides two large arched windows overlook the wall. Next to it, in a more contained space composed of four armchairs and a coffee table, a wall equipped with glass doors. The balcony, which protrudes from the ceiling opening, consists of a wooden perimeter balustrade and a bookcase with storage compartments in the lower part and open shelves in the upper part.

The kitchen

The space dedicated to the kitchen is about 60 sm. It is characterized by a rectangular island in white lacquered finish and inlay in coral pink finish, top in marble "Emperador brown" and brass sink. The island serves as a mobile container for accessories, breakfast counter and worktop. Behind the sink area we find the hob in niche framed by two fluted pilaster and upper capital. Top and backsplash are always in marble "Emperador brown" as the island. On the opposite side of the hob and in the spaces resulting, at the side of the windows, there are blind storage furniture. Between the windows there is a wine display cabinet with refrigerated cellar in the lower part and shelves for bottles in the upper part.

The dining area

The dining room is located on the same axis as the kitchen in a single rectangular floor plan. The large table with double leg provides the possibility to accommodate up to ten people. To emphasize its importance there is an imposing chandelier in crystal that comes down from the ceiling made of plaster decorations, cantilevered elements and lighting on the whole perimeter. The surrounding walls, covered in wood panelling, open into the corner to reach the bow window overlooking the garden of the house.

The bar

On basement of this amazing villa we find all the family’s "leisure activities": cigar room, cinema room and spa. At the landing of the staircase is placed the bar area inside a "C" space made by the bearing masonry. The linear counter is characterized by a marble top "Emperador brown" and a front cover in leather "capitonnè". The rear space, in lacquer finish, consists of open bottle rack elements with mirror on the back and container elements at the base where the refrigerated cells are placed. The use of measured tones without excesses contribute to the creation of a sophisticated, elegant and extremely relaxing atmosphere.

The games room

The room is located in a room adjacent to the living area. Located on the left side of the entrance, this room of about 25 sm is divided into two functional spaces: a space dedicated to table and chairs for games and a "home cinema". On the back wall to the table a cabinet with four elements containers interspersed by pilasters; on the opposite side the tv cabinet with niche, two baskets in the lower part and double grooved pilasters of the same style.

The gym area

The Owner cannot neglect style, not even during the workouts in his private gym. Decoration is discreet here, since the main character is the individual. The interiors define spaces with elegance and the used elements are conceived in an essentially functional fashion.

The attic bar

A lounge bar with a special allure, a relaxing atmosphere and a catching interaction between the man’s craftsmanship and inventiveness (the wooden cladding of the curved ceiling, divided into segments; a peculiar bar counter with “capitonnè” decoration) and nature, that communicates with the interiors thanks to airy windows along the most part of the perimeter.
