What exactly is a house?

Villa is a special style house. Villa refers to a multi-storey slab building with 6 floors or less, mainly with 4 or 5 floors. The standard of villa lies in low density, low volume ratio, high greening and small pool, with an area of100-300m2.

The reason why a villa is called a villa is determined by its architectural style. It has typical European, American and British characteristics, and some buildings have Nanyang style, not local style.

Garden residence

Garden houses originated in Shanghai, and have been exclusively owned by the upper classes in Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong since the middle of19th century. They are the products of the interweaving of western civilization and lifestyle with China culture.

More specifically, it was a scarce and high-profit residential product developed by domestic real estate developers in response to the market demand brought by the construction of Shanghai Concession at that time, aiming at specific minority classes, adopting western architectural forms, new engineering technologies and new building materials. Judging from the current definition of real estate, the garden villa at that time was equivalent to the single-family villa in the real estate market now.
