A 1930s Mansion Gets A Fusion Renovation

Residential inerior

This mansion is nestled on the top floor of an old house in the former French Concession area of Shanghai. The client is a couple, a Chinese husband and European wife, who yearn to avoid the hustle and bustle of city life. This mixing of Chinese and Western lifestyles is integrated into the design ideology. The house was for more than 50 years a brick-wood entity and its renovation respects that history. The suspended ceiling was removed to carefully restore the original wood structure. Seeking a peaceful state, the designers treat and define space in a very pure way by using modern lines, white walls, and wooden floors.
