Zhongkai Sheshan Villa W2
"Stepping Terrace House"
Mandala Garden | Shanghai, China
Villa W2 incorporates archetypal housing patterns to maximize the amenities of its long and narrow site. Its symmetrical courtyard form is protected by a sheltering roof, folded back to capture south light, and views of the mountains beyond. The traditional forms provide a sense of refuge, yet the open plan allows each space an outlook to a series of gardens, blurring the distinction between inside and out.
