Text description provided by the architects
Located in Panlong District in the northeastern part of Kunming, Midea Shunchengfu sits on a site backed by Huma Mountain to the north and overlooking Baishahe Reservoir to the south. The project is positioned as an urban-park mountain villa enclave that weaves the literati atmosphere of classical Chinese gardens into a contemporary low-density residential experience. The design draws inspiration from a Qing dynasty travelogue of Kunming, translating the poetic imagery of Dianchi Lake, stone forest formations and misty mountains into the spatial language of the sales gallery and model units. Warm reddish earth tones local to Dongjiang are paired with internationally recognized furniture brands and contemporary art pieces to convey an Eastern sensibility of quiet refinement. The banqueting hall features a seven-meter void that admits natural light through a skylight, framing a sculptural pine brought from the upper level down to the lower floor like an unfolding ink painting. A moss-and-driftwood centerpiece on the dining table reinforces the garden-room atmosphere. The living and dining areas adopt a modern relaxed Oriental idiom, with semi-transparent glass screens that soften the boundary between spaces and introduce new-Chinese decorative elements without compromising casual comfort. Bedrooms are finished in fabric-wrapped wall panels chosen to avoid the coldness often associated with villas, with moisture-resistant backing on every panel to simplify long-term maintenance. The project was designed by Guangdong Tianyuan Architectural Design under the Ruizhu Tianyuan studio, with interior and landscape design delivered by the same practice for Midea Real Estate's Southwest region, completed in 2022.
