In the bustling city of Wuhan, China, there is a unique luxury house development that stands out among the rest. Developed by Wuhan Huafa, the Waitan Mansion boasts an unparalleled location, facing the Fifth Bridge over the Yangtze River. This coveted location has drawn in residents who are engaged in ocean shipping, seeking a home that offers both urban prosperity and a view of the surging river.

But the Waitan Mansion is more than just a prime location. It is also a testament to the art of design, with every detail thoughtfully crafted to create a luxurious and comfortable home for its residents. The mastermind behind this design is none other than ZONETION DESIGN, a renowned design firm with a mission to “bring the satisfaction of their life achievements to residents.”

According to the designer, a private house is not just a model room. It must have a sense of space that is adjusted properly, so that even the best art and furniture can be used to their fullest potential. The first step, therefore, is to create a sense of luxury within the space. And that is exactly what ZONETION DESIGN did with the Waitan Mansion.

The living and dining room is a prime example of this attention to space. The designer completely renovated the long and narrow space by setting up a bar counter at the entrance and a dining room and a tea table at the original living room. The biggest breakthrough was to combine the two rooms separating the river scenery, making the whole living & dining space into a big viewing frame facing the Fifth Bridge over the Yangtze River.

The result is a space that not only allows for comfortable living but also offers breathtaking views of the river. The river changes constantly with the seasons, and the light is shaped differently in the dawn, noon, and evening every day. The indescribable beauty of the river presents tirelessly like a long picture scroll, becoming a “day classâ€ for owners to view the river. They always record every memorable moment of light and shadow with their cameras, no matter natural sunshine at daytime or electric light at night, and often share them with the designer.

But it’s not just about the aesthetics. ZONETION DESIGN also took into consideration the needs of a busy family, integrating multiple functions into a large hall that covers a living room, a study, a tea table, a dining room, and a bar counter. This way, family members have more opportunities for communication and to echo each other’s beautiful life. Via three meals a day, people can feel the outside world. Especially when all family members sit around the dining table at dinner time, they can see the bustling city outside the window and feel amiable warmth inside the window.

The quality of life is another important aspect of the Waitan Mansion‘s design. In the beautiful space, residents are influenced by beauty, have beautiful behavior, and enjoy beautiful lifestyles. If the public space aims to create a life field for family interaction, the private space provides sufficient comfort of living like a flowing stream. The master bedroom, for example, features a purple high-back bed of Savoi that provides the spiritual atmosphere of the whole room. Compared with the green tone of the hall, purple aims to highlight the stable and mature temperament. Purple is not only a symbol of noble status, but also provides a feeling of ease.

The main bathroom is another space that showcases ZONETION DESIGN‘s attention to detail. Though relatively narrow in space, the designer cleverly introduced sailing elements into it. Through the transmission of the mirrors, the arc lines are superimposed in depth, which greatly improves the visual effect of the space. “The spatial sense is not to show off technology in the main bathroom, but enhance the spatial function with simple symbols and filter out beautiful and harmonious light and shadow with colors and materials,” said the designer.

Another important aspect of the design is the integration of multiple functions into a large hall. This space covers a living room, a study, a tea table, a dining room, and a bar counter. This allows busy family members to have more communication and echo each other’s beautiful life. It becomes a space for family members to know and support each other.

The bar counter is a hub for all family members to connect. This is a very comfortable and convenient life station, whether it’s after returning home for a rest, or at breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. It’s a space where family members can bond over a cup of tea or a glass of wine and share their daily experiences.

In the beautiful space, residents are influenced by beauty, have beautiful behavior, and enjoy beautiful lifestyles. This specially comforts designers. If the public space aims to create a life field for family interaction, the private space provides sufficient comfort of living like a flowing stream. After rethinking the space, the designer designed the cloakroom by using highly integrated design. The same leather material in the cloakroom echoes with the wall of the master bedroom, highlighting the overall sense of harmony of the design.

A purple high-back bed of Savoi provides the spiritual atmosphere of the whole master bedroom. Compared with the green tone of the hall, purple aims to highlight the stable and mature temperament. Purple is not only a symbol of noble status but also provides a feeling of ease. The bedside lamp with manually carved elephant patterns was created by the artist Giles Kafia. “Elephant” is a symbol of good luck in both East and West. Such elephant patterns were carved by hand on the ceramic surface for their texture effect.

In conclusion, the Waitan Mansion is a luxurious riverside house in Wuhan designed by ZONETION DESIGN. It is a perfect blend of natural, pleasing, and elegant elements that create a space where residents can enjoy a beautiful lifestyle. The unique location of the house is the most cherished quality of these luxury houses for owners who are engaged in ocean shipping, so they want to settle down their home here. The design integrates multiple functions into a large hall, allowing busy family members to have more communication and echo each other’s beautiful life. The private space provides sufficient comfort of living like a flowing stream, and design plays the role of a guide to give customers a better plan of life so that people can enjoy a new lifestyle and understand a different philosophy of life in the new house. The Waitan Mansion is not just a luxurious riverside house, but it’s also a space that inspires and comforts its residents.
