In the VIP area located in west Shanghai, Studio Marco Piva has been appointed to study the best solution for a sample house of a complex of 72 villas, combining an absolutely contemporary sign, as in Studio Marco Piva DNA, with traditional Chinese one.
At the beginning of the project there was a careful research focused on the dualism between classic and contemporary, international and traditional, public and private spaces, to integrate all those aspects in a fluid and natural way.
Precisely, it has been the dualism of public and private that has strongly influenced the project concept. The house has been carefully studied as a space that can be both intimate than open, an house to live in with the family but also a Club, where friends and parties are welcome.
An innovative new way of living our own home, to be a lively, sophisticated, elegant, long lasting home, both private and social.
The interiors have been created with great attention being paid to the choice of materials, textures and details, and there are powerful references to the Italian design, merged with custom made pieces and Chinese high level materials.
Most of the furniture related to the fit out have been selected by a Chinese contractor, who supplied the best marbles and leather materials directly from China, under the instructions from Studio Marco Piva, but we don’t have the name of the suppliers.
Masterpieces of Italian design are from Baxter, Busnelli, CeramicaSantagostino, Lasvit, Luxury Living Group, Minotti, Molteni, Oluce, Poltrona Frau, Secret Du Luxe, Sicis Next Art, Toncelli Cucine.
Many other design items are custom on Marco Piva’s design, such as the golden texture of the monumental portal of the atrium and of the sliding door to cover the TV in the rooms, or the falling chandeliers.
