Cambridge Villa 418 serves as an architecture of silence and light, a multifunctional renovated home for sensations and meditation. Situated in Shanghai, the villa responds to its site, not with excess but with private atmosphere—through light, air, and material shaping the living experience.
The walls, finished in layered shades of grey, shift with the day, absorbing and reflecting brightness that carries the passage of time. The entrance hall is a threshold, where cross-ventilation and natural light create a balance, transforming the arrival into an act of reorientation rather than enclosure.
Inside, corridors and windows are composed as moments of reflection, slowing the inhabitant and framing fragments of garden or sky. A vertical void gathers and distributes light, forming an immaterial core that connects all floors. Materials—stone, wood, plaster—were chosen not for ornament but for their ability to weather, carrying traces of time as part of the villa’s memory.
Cambridge Villa 418 resists singular identity. It is neutral, personal, and open, offering space for contemplation and healing. More than a house, it is a sanctuary where solitude becomes luminous.
Bio I'm a cross-disciplinary artist, researcher, and sustainable architect. My work encompasses subtle discussions between humans and nature, both visible and invisible, and, most profoundly, life and death. The subject matters I choose are often minimal, sharp, essential, and symbolic, conveying and implying a striking sense of time and space. Through layered techniques and attention to detail, I render each work as a panorama of history, the universe, and our fragile inner world, bridging the past, present, and the future.
