New Chinese Aristocracy: Rosewood, Jade, and Symmetrical Layouts

A contemporary Chinese private residence's main hall: the layout is strictly symmetrical, with the entrance, a central grand armchair and tea table, and a landscape screen behind it, all arranged sequentially along the central axis. The furniture is made of solid zitan or huanghuali wood, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, with intricate carvings but restrained proportions. The walls are dark wood and silk fabric, with display niches for jade and porcelain pieces embedded, each individually backlit. The floor is dark stone. The ceiling has a border of continuous fretwork. The space includes a long painting table and scholar's items. Lighting is warm, indirect light. Avoid: using a large amount of gold and crystal, modern minimalist furniture, asymmetrical space, incorporating Western classical elements.

一間當代中式的私宅正廳:格局嚴格對稱,中軸線上依序是入口、中央的太師椅與茶几、以及背後的一面山水屏風。家具是紫檀或黃花梨的實木,榫卯結構,雕刻繁複但比例克制。牆面是深色木作與絹布,嵌入幾件玉器與瓷器的展示壁龕,每格獨立背光。地坪是深色石材。天花有一圈迴紋的線腳。空間裡有一張長條的畫案與文房用品。照明是暖色的間接光。避免:使用大量金色與水晶、家具用現代簡約造型、空間做成不對稱、加入西洋古典元素。
