Lakeside City is located in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, next to Didang Lake and surrounded on three sides by the lake. You can see a panoramic view like a glorious picture scroll, with a range of rides on the lake. You can totally enjoy the beauty of the lake here.
Lakeside City traces the origin of Shaoxing’s celebrity culture, and builds a celebrity hall by taking the elegance of the Lanting gathering. The space is divided into two parts: the swimming pool and fitness centre are the first part, while the celebrity hall on the second floor, where people can enjoy the tea and the scenery.
02 The Oriental Elegance
The designer applied traditional Chinese architectural elements wooden grilles and screens to refine the classic beauty, creating a space with modern oriental aesthetics in the natural rhyme and rhythm.
The array of single objects and the vertical lines help create the atmosphere and the spatial scale and enrich the spatial levels, making the space more independent and surrounded by classic atmosphere. The array of screens forms a corridor leading to the swimming pool and encloses the gym area. The large pieces of floor-to-ceiling glass take advantages of the reflection of the lake, lighting up the interior. Meanwhile, the building and the landscape borrow the scenery to create a pure, open and elegant atmosphere. You can feel yourself in the embrace of the lake view only within a few steps.
03 Light and Shadow
The architectural space shines under the light and shadow, while the light and shadow show its vitality due to the architectural space. The light penetrates through the silk glass, thickening the texture of rice paper. Combined with modern space design techniques, it creates an artistic conception like ink painting. The wooden grille ceiling creates continuity in the space visually; at the same time, the wooden grille façade separates the space, and its continuous effect allows people to move around different functional areas. The light and shadow caused by sunlight passing through the architectural grid accompany the flow of time, recording the interweaving interaction of time and space.
Sitting peacefully on the lake-viewing terrace, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Didang Lake. Seeing the extraordinary lake and the lush trees away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you would feel the thoughts of writing flourish. Here, you can fully appreciate the beauty of four seasons.
