The Pearl River Delta’s rapid development has resulted in once sleepy towns mushrooming into major cities. Foshan, celebrated as the birthplace of Cantonese opera, lion dance and legendary martial artist Ip Man, is a prefecture-level city with 9.6 million inhabitants. Its proximity to Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area’s network of rivers and parklands makes it an attractive place to reside. One family purchased a 280 sqm flat on the 20th floor of a residential tower overlooking Half Moon Island Wetland Park in southeast Foshan. To ensure that every aspect of the abode suited the way they live, they sought out Evans Lee Interior Design Co. to take care of all the details.
Guangzhou-based Evans Lee was inspired by the serenity of the riverside park with its internal lake. He wanted to create a white tabula rasa interior framing picture perfect views east towards the park to capture the way the landscape changes throughout the four seasons. “The park is surrounded by trees, flowers and birds, and the lake is crystal clear,” says Lee. “The hills are reflected along the lake’s surface, like natural light spreading across the interiors. The scenery changes with time, just like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The family can enjoy life at home while enjoying the beautiful Half Moon Island Wetland Park.”
