Until the excited heart finally begins to calm down, the vivid sound of nature is not able to truly recapture attentive ears. After Blue Lake Restaurant had been successfully launched and running for one and a half years, another adjacent project known as Blue Lake House has now been officially unveiled in all its perfect beauty. Co-designed again by Yi CHEN and Muchen ZHANG, this house has been made, either internally, externally or peripherally, to grasp and capture every detail when it comes to the philosophy of nature. 

In accordance with the overall ideas the designers had for the Restaurant, the House is designed to hide and grow out of the environment itself. To provide a more private and individualized sense for such multi-functions as dining, parties and small-sized commercial activities, a sense of large space is a requisite of the newer building put up within the realm of the older that has been totally left behind. This therefore allowed for a 5.8-meter-high main space to be designed, with the roof and main body of the building supported by a metal structure that was inspired by the surrounding environment to appear in the shape of a tree crotch. This metal crotch raises the roof so high as to make it float above the peripheral walls, allowing sunlight to pour freely into the interior space.  

From dawn till dusk, the lively sun makes its timely rise and fall and immerses the whole House with light that scatters and penetrates through the surrounding trunks and leaves. With the wind blowing through the trees, the sunlight dances like a spirit, changing its form and the contrast between light and shadow, making it an enlivened space in which the change of sunlight and seasons are well perceived while it is also an unending pleasure living in or outside of the House.  

To give the space a fully natural ambiance, both the interior and the exterior are decorated using solid wood. In addition to that, the leather furniture, the works of art and ornamentation heavily loaded with history enable everyone to have the full experience of the warmth of being at home. This is a feeling derived from the space, the environment and nature itself. Your life in this quiet yet cultural space will turn to the experience of extreme satiation, comfort and relief.
