Rachel
Rachel is a four-storey villa built around a central water courtyard in Zhongshan City, China. The ground floor spaces open onto the courtyard and support family interaction, while the bedrooms on the upper floors remain private. Staggered bedroom blocks form the clean and modern facade and frame views of the landscaped garden. The cantilevered balconies also act as shading overhangs for the ground floor terraces. Earth-colored wood is combined with natural grey granite. Large floor to ceiling windows assist the ventilation of the interior spaces.

The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which recognizes outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
