When in October 2010, someone proposed me to be the designer for the renovation of Rockefeller villa in shanghai I felt extremely excited.
當(dāng)時(shí)正值2010國(guó)慶時(shí)節(jié),一位朋友向我提案了一份關(guān)于上海洛克菲勒別墅改建項(xiàng)目的方案,使我興奮不已。
Such a building is so peculiar and witness of last century changes in history.
這是一棟不可多得的設(shè)計(jì)精品,并且見證了上世紀(jì)風(fēng)云變幻的歷史。
The villa was built in 1913 for the American Rockefeller family in a classical colonial style: mostly wood floor in the main interior areas and ceramic mosaic in the bathrooms a few fireplaces imported during last century and a very stunning entrance in marble stones to testify the austerity and power. The villa was not actually the residence for Rockefeller’s family in Shanghai but a gathering and hospitality place for fellow American investors.
這棟別墅落成于1913年,為洛克菲勒家族度身打造的古典殖民時(shí)代的建筑風(fēng)格:以大量實(shí)木地板打底的室內(nèi)區(qū)域以及浴室中的陶瓷錦磚,佐以當(dāng)年進(jìn)口的柴火壁爐配合氣派莊嚴(yán)的大理石入口來作為其家族的底蘊(yùn)與權(quán)貴的象征。然而從別墅本身并未被洛克菲勒當(dāng)做居家用,更多的是扮演商務(wù)宴請(qǐng)與招待其美國(guó)投資人與生意合作伙伴的場(chǎng)所。
