SPIRITUAL BAY VILLA | Kris Lin International Design | International Residential Architecture Awards 2024
Kris Lin International Design: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2024. 1.Advantage: Prime Ocean View The project is a rare first-line sea view villa model home in Qingdao West Coast, China’s ninth largest new district. Since China has ceased the development of first-line sea view residential land, the scarcity of the project is even more pronounced.

2.Functionality:
This villa has three floors above and two below, offering an open-plan living area, study, large ocean-view bedrooms, a home theater, tea room, and more.
2.INSPIRATION
1.Framed View:
Leveraging the unique prime oceanfront perspective of the project, the “framed view” concept presents natural seascapes as if they were paintings, turning the ocean view into artwork within a frame. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and sea views, allowing enjoyment of the natural landscape without stepping outside. All beds and sofas face the sea, offering an ultimate visual experience.
To better incorporate the natural seascape indoors, a modern minimalist design style is adopted, simplifying and reducing clutter to focus more on the external sea view, returning to nature’s essence.
3.MATERIALS
1.Lighting:
By studying regional illumination, large floor-to-ceiling windows and an open layout were designed to maximize enjoyment of natural light while reducing the use of artificial lighting, promoting energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.
4.TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
Minimalist Doors and Windows
For the building’s facade renovation, narrow-framed, seamless, and sleek aluminum frames paired with large-sized ultra-clear glass were chosen for minimalist doors and windows. This design reduces the bulky appearance of traditional glass windows and presents the seascape as a painting through the “framed view” approach.
5.Impact This case features a standalone villa located on scarce prime oceanfront property. Employing the “framed view” design approach, it brings natural seascapes into the home. Large glass windows serve as paintings, allowing residents to directly enjoy the outside seascape. Additionally, these windows can be opened, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, as if living within natural art.
