Inspiring Success: ACRION x Taizhou Villa:
The successful application of Acrion solid surface in the Taizhou Villa project showcases innovative design and leaves both parties satisfied. The villa’s overall design adheres to the concept of “Minimalism,” maintaining consistent color tones from the entrance to the courtyard, devoid of excessive decor and items. Embracing the principle of “less is more,” this minimalist approach simplifies design elements, colors, lighting, and materials to a minimum while demanding high texture and material quality.
Creative furniture arrangements contribute to the space’s aesthetics. An acrylic solid surface chandelier container occupies minimal space by the doorway. The central living room features a round table and chairs for utility. The villa’s spiral staircase is a visual marvel, twisting and changing in shape, offering novelty and endless intrigue. The stair handrail, crafted from pure white acrylic solid surface, not only exudes elegance but also resists dirt more effectively compared to traditional materials.
The beauty of different living areas lies in their angles. The spiral staircase’s graceful curves accentuate the visual interest from various photographic angles. The study’s ceiling boasts a “double-sloped pitched roof” design, which prevents water leaks during rainy seasons and safeguards against hail accumulation in winter. Triangles are the most stable shapes, and the triangular roof effectively disperses the weight of snow, enhancing the house’s durability.
Acrion’s customization options are evident in the Taizhou Villa. Whether it’s the kitchen, spiral staircase, dining table, or washing basin, Acrion solid surface material has been used to achieve seamless quality and impeccable surfaces. This customization underscores Acrion’s commitment to providing tailored solutions with flawless finishes and reliable quality.
The Taizhou Villa project, designed by Hangzhou ShiShang Architecture Space Design Office, is located in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China, spanning 850 square meters and has been successfully completed. Acrion’s solid surface material finds application in various areas including the kitchen, spiral staircase, dining table, and washing basin, showcasing its versatility and aesthetic appeal.
