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.
