335 Duplex Villa | Tuscan Style × Eclecticism
Within the 336-square-meter townhouse layout, the design abandons rigid stylistic stereotypes. Taking the laid-back charm of the Tuscan countryside as the fundamental tone, it integrates the free and inclusive aesthetic of eclecticism. Rejecting artificial refinement and rigid template-style show-home conventions, the design restores living to its original essence, preserving only the calm, peaceful and easygoing nature of residential life.
Natural rugged stone, mild logs, vintage clay and distressed artistic paint are selected for the space. The inherent texture and natural imperfections of materials are intentionally retained, paired with mid-century furniture, aged leather and linen fabric furnishings. Free from deliberate carving and forced sophistication, the space returns to the most authentic relaxing state of living, endowing the home with both the serene tranquility of the wilderness and the warm worldly delights of daily life.
Breaking the stereotyped impression of dim, oppressive basements, the basement level is no longer a passive auxiliary functional area, but the most relaxing and comforting private social hub of the entire residence. Natural stone matched with vintage distressed artistic paint lays a plain and pure spatial foundation, embellished by solid log furniture and soft fabrics. The raw, rugged texture of materials is preserved to strip away commercial fancy adornment, where roughness and delicacy blend naturally to strike a perfect sense of proportion. Amid layered undulations, plain and original materials shape the atmosphere, allowing residents to cast off external impetuosity, break free from the limits of time and scenarios, and engage in tranquil, in-depth communication.
Social formality and tedious rituals fade away at the fireplace nook, with a vintage collection aesthetic embodied in root carvings, matte craftware and leather armchairs. Devoid of the cold restraint of urban refined decoration, the space embodies the leisure of a mountain dwelling, suitable both for lively gatherings and quiet solitary leisure.
