Free Rhapsody of Folding Villa – KINCANG Egrets Waves 3.0 Residence Showroom


LYCS Architecture



Short description

The KINCANG Egrets Waves 3.0 Folding Villa showroom, designed by LYCS Architecture for integrated architecture and interior design, is located in Keqiao, Shaoxing. The sky villa with a Skypool has become the cover project of Shaoxing since its debut. The designers have fantasized about lifestyle methods, including color, form, and function.

Shaoxing is a central hub of China's private economy. In the wave of the new era, it upholds the spirit of openness and diversity, and its urban development is rapidly advancing. There are countless landmark luxury residential projects. In the eyes of LYCS Architecture, luxury homes are not just about special resource allocation but also about responding to residents' unique lifestyles and artistic tastes with finer granularity.

After three iterations, the improved KINCANG light curves extend from the exterior architecture into the residential interior, creating a harmonious flow between the vibrant living spaces and the free-flowing swimming pool.

As you enter the first-floor living and dining room, a range of free-flowing colors open up and dance through the space, from lively yellows to passionate reds. The vibrant color palette activates all senses. The flowing curves extend to the walls, ceiling, and furniture, creating an elegant and luxurious ambiance. Large areas of dark wood paneling skillfully divide the space, complemented by natural white stone with interesting furniture and soft furnishings that add to the rich, multi-layered visual experience.

The double-height space that spans the two levels breaks down the barriers between floors and creates an open and flowing feel. The use of vertical dark wood paneling enhances the sense of spatial extension and opens up the sightlines. People engaged in different activities intersect and overlap in the same space, cleverly integrating the "villa feel" of the architecture into the residential interior.

The flowing lines of the architecture spiral upwards from the first floor, guiding the visual inertia from the horizontal plane to the vertical plane, enhancing the flow of space and creating a dynamic and lively atmosphere. The metallic texture of the spiral staircase reflects light through diffuse reflection, creating a soft glow. The design breaks away from the original flat layout by separating the staircase into two parts and connecting them with the same material handrails, eliminating the need for structural columns and sculpting a sense of unity for the overall space.

The second floor contains guest and children's rooms, enveloped by an L-shaped open-air terrace. From there, one can overlook the hotel-style garden within the residential area up close and enjoy a distant view of Shaoxing's ancient city's misty and rainy Jiangnan. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring the landscape into the room, and the children's room is colorful without being overly saturated, meeting children's physical and mental growth needs.

Ascending a few steps will lead you to a three-story space customized for the user, including a living room, bedroom, dressing room, study, fitness area, bar, and rooftop swimming pool. With fluid space in mind, the area is designed around two "structural tubes" made of metal-framed glass, creating a circuitous path. The area is only minimally divided to maintain its fluidity and connectivity. It allows users to switch between private and public modes using flexible and adjustable partitions based on their needs.

Arriving at the Sky Terrace, with an area of about 75 square meters, the view also becomes more expansive. The terrace combines an infinity-edge pool, and the sparkling blue pool is gorgeous under the changing sky and clouds. Space circulates, and the new way of life is based on design, giving users more possibilities for home experiences and allowing them to enjoy nature and coexist.
