This six-storey townhouse in Shenzhen conveys the owners’ refine taste through a thoughtful curation of art and design
Surrounded by lakes and a dense forest, this waterfront villa in Shenzhen by Ace Design is both an enviable retreat and an art collector’s private paradise. Exuding a low-key contemporary aesthetic, it reflects the owner’s artistic endeavours. The house is envisioned as a “city within a city”, with a series of differentiated spaces that are structured to take its inhabitants on a journey that’s anchored by statement works of art.
“The owner of the house is an elegant, successful woman with a keen eye for aesthetics,” says Hui Xie, designer and founder of Ace Design. “She expressed her desire to create an artistic living habitat for her family and herself, so that art is always present in life and often echoes with cultural resonance.”
