Why is a good house called a villa?

In ancient times, the villa was a beautiful house with mountains and water for recreation. Now we often say that "villa" actually covers two types of foreign real estate: one is a house and the other is a villa. If translated literally, house should be "house, residence"; And the villa should be a "villa".

The word villa is not exclusive in the domestic real estate market. Domestic villas cover a wide range, including not only single-family houses, but also semi-independent houses, stacked villas, townhouses, CIS villas, and even some houses are collectively referred to as villa products by developers. Except for single-family villas and single-family villas, these other products can only be called townhouses, which is completely different from the concept of single-family villas.

Villa is a way of life at first, and the most important feature that distinguishes it from other architectural types is that it is the ultimate living form closely related to the natural landscape. Secondly, it is a symbol of home identity and personality, and it is the territory occupied by the "rich class". With the continuous advancement and development of villa process in China, there are scarce natural resources like Vienna Forest Villa.

The third aspect is that the natural landscape of the villa area has brought great changes to life. Whether it is a forest or a lake, there is a way of life that urban life can never give. In the years, the villa can truly realize its "villa life".

In Vienna Forest Park, you can feel fresh air and green health everywhere. Forest tennis court, forest basketball court and forest tea room present a kind of nature and cleanliness completely different from the city, and a kind of leisurely life far away from the city.

Pan Shiyi: With the development of today's property types, whether it is office buildings, apartments, houses, shopping malls or villas, the boundaries between them are actually blurred in today's society, and villas are also used as office space. Who can tell what kind of property form SOHO is? The greatest feature of our time is the integration of each other, the integration of functions between houses, the integration of human roles, even the integration of art and commerce, and the integration of different architectural forms and functions. Therefore, it is difficult for us to define what a villa is today.

I built two houses in Beijing, one is SOHO Modern City and the other is Jianwai SOHO. I built three houses outside Beijing. The first one is probably a villa. It's called Shan Yu Room, which is 83 kilometers away from Beijing. It is surrounded by mountains. We want to build the house into a place where mountains talk to each other. The designer of this house is Zhang Yonghe. The second place is called Boao Blue Coast, which can also be regarded as a villa. Last year 10 10 was officially drawn, and the first batch of 1 15 houses were completed on April 20 this year, with an average rate of one building per day. This is a romantic and ideal place. The third project is the Asian Architects Corridor (Lao Pan secretly said that he didn't want to put this project in the villa pile, which is really far from the traditional villa). This project has been built for a long time. From the beginning of last year to the official opening in June 1, it was basically completed. This project is a turning point for us, because it will participate in the Venice Biennale, the highest level exhibition in the art world this year.

Chen Jinsong: Villa, first of all, should be distinguished conceptually, whether it is a single-family house or a villa, whether it is the first residence or elsewhere, whether it is located in the urban area or the suburbs, whether it is a residence or a holiday. If we divide the functions of villas, we will find some different characteristics.

Judging from the absolute value of land, it is definitely wrong to engage in villas, because villas are absolutely derogatory in land value. Why should we build villas? We have an inference-the path dependence of land price policy, one-time payment or installment payment of land price, floor price or land price determines whether to supply villas. Markets in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Beijing all follow this rule.

The highest realm of villas is individuality, and the Asian Architects Corridor is moving towards this realm.

Yu: The design principle of villa should conform to the wildness of the times and be located between heaven and earth. That is, where people come from or where they are going, and what is their highest state? It is to locate between heaven and earth, find your oldest primitive gene between heaven and earth, and the place where people are located between heaven and earth is the real villa.

The villa we see now is not a villa, but a house that the American middle class needs. The real villa is actually another concept. First of all, it must be personalized, and the villa must be personalized. I think Mr. Pan's own villa has reached the highest level, and the architect corridor is a good work, but it is still a long way from the highest level.

Jong Li: To tell the truth, the earliest villa in China is called "don't do anything", and the so-called "don't do anything" is the second meaning. In foreign countries, the first residence is called a house and the second residence is called a villa.

When villas first appeared in China, they were often translated into three kinds, sometimes called villas, sometimes called manors and sometimes called castles. No matter how translated, it is synonymous with independent manor life abroad. There are many villas, and one manor and another manor are combined to form the manor area, which is the prototype of our present villa area. Compared with ordinary houses, there are many differences between villas except their basic functions. Villa is a poetic house, representing a certain ideal of human beings.

The appearance of villas is always accompanied by the appearance of wealthy classes and the division of social classes.

Since this year, villas and houses in Beijing have been clearly divided. Buy a map of Beijing and check the intersection of terrain, yellow and green. That is to say, there are a lot of villa projects at the intersection of mountains and plains in Beijing, and these villa projects are villas as second homes. These houses are far away from the city, which makes them unlikely to be the first houses. Some are in Mentougou, some in Huairou and some in Yanqing. At present, a prominent feature of the development of villas in Beijing is that they are more and more scenic. Originally, a villa facing the river could be a selling point, but today it can't. Facing the river today, it's still on the slope. (Xie Hongling)
