the sound of nature

Sunac Mogan Valley project in Hangzhou, China, is design upon the idea of living in harmony with life. Zoom Design’s approach was based on harmony between people and others, nature, space and life. This resulted in a kind of pure power without the limit of form or idea.

As the first project of rural culture and tourism industry of Sunac, Mogan Valley covers some 680 acres unoccupied land in the Wukangzhen Development Zone, Guozhao County, Deqing, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.

Nurturing the contemporary lifestyle with the poetic and quaint Gangnan culture, this project met the international standards for a modern life style within the landscape. Being harmonious with nature, the design was guided by original conditions and their spatial aesthetics.

Nature was the star of this space. The shadow of bamboo and the mountain are projected on the walls and clear glass panels allowed for sunset views and outside breezes.

As autumn symbolizes the joy of harvest, flowers and the trees all over the hills, these elements were celebrated as a gift from nature.

Endeavoring to build the project as a second space for live, the designed hoped to form a new option for a tourist destination through the spatial design and the change of outside landscape, letting the poetic space happen in this project.

Multiple utensils, ornaments fulfilled the life and spirit world of dwellers.

Leather indicated the delicate life, implying artistic painting as sound taste.

Maple leaf, deep dark and brown coffee color delivered modern essence. Flowers formed the link between the life and nature. The flow of shadow dazing in the spaces, outlined the shape of furniture and ornaments, restructuring the dynamism of a luxurious and elegant style.

The project included a water bar, a dining area, a negotiation area, a deck and other areas, providing infinite possibilities for the residents’ daily life.

From the perspective of the designer, the structure and the porcelain resulted in an essence beyond themselves.

The seemly free proportion and irregular order of the space, made a seamless change from exterior to interior possible.

The harmonious nature, rich humanities and colorful style constituted the tools for the designer in creating the space in connection with the landscape.

Having experience for many years in estate-design related to culture and tourism, Zoom Design took on the soft design of this project, covering showroom, coffee, rooms of 50, 70 and 120 sq meters size and single cabins.
