He believes that slope, scenery, orientation, protection of important trees and vegetation should also be represented by charts. The relationship with the plot is the most special difference between villas and other residential forms, and it is also the main basis for villa design.
"As an architect and planner, listening to the voice of the land is the most important factor." This feature of villa is most obvious in the design of mountain villa.
Dorian believes that the most important thing in the development of mountain villas is to respect and combine the terrain. Planners must have a full and detailed understanding of the terrain, talk to nature and listen to the voice of the land. "The planning of the villa is very interesting. For example, this time, in order to design Changsha Zhu Qing Garden, I almost traveled to every corner of the base, observing, pondering and savoring every block. We discovered the value of this land and were attracted by it. "
As the most challenging villa type, the villa gives designers the greatest imagination. Dorian believes that the terrain of the villa itself can stimulate the creativity of designers to the greatest extent. Unlike the planning of a flat villa, it has to think about many concepts and deliberately create many interesting things, which in itself is the source of inspiration.
"The planning of mountain villas is like different picture frames. In fact, nature has defined the appropriate location of each villa. All you have to do is find the most beautiful drawings and put the building in. " In Dorian's description, a picture full of spirituality jumps from the paper.
Integrate into local culture
"Three years ago, our company began to design domestic villas and new planning communities, and built villas in Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai and Hangzhou." Dowling has entered the China market for three years and has a certain understanding of China culture.
"Changsha seems to lack some traces of history and culture in urban architecture." Although I don't know much about Changsha, Daolin, who attaches importance to the historical context, still has a little regret.
Dorian believes that architecture is a solidified history. Apart from architecture, few things can be presented to the world as witnesses and symbols of history. Because of the difference of time and space, architecture can outline different living groups of human beings, and thus outline the basic outline of different homes in different periods.
"Villa design is even more so. The villa design in each area should be combined with the local context. " Dowling said that a good designer should respect the market and local culture, because architecture has a strong era and regionality. "In the design of Zhu Qing Garden, we fully considered this point, hoping to perfectly integrate Changsha's local context with architecture."
Dowling pointed out that integration does not mean simply adopting a certain style, but diversification. North America, Asia and even China may appear in the park, but they will form a whole through the entrance, clubhouse, materials and landscape of the park, forming a unique style belonging to the whole green bamboo garden, not just a specific style.
"Just like a composer composing a symphony, we can design beauty and coordinate forms and materials by establishing cultural concepts. Through our talent, judgment of beauty, experience and traditional painting skills, we form our design concept and reject boring things and incongruous things. The final design is comfortable, upright, balanced and beautiful. "
"We reject short-term architectural skills, but strive to create villas that are still loved by our families even after we leave China. Today's style is no longer an insert in a design magazine." Dorian said with expectation.
