Poject Details

Zhongkai Sheshan Villas will consist of 78 private villas and a club facility, set on a 46-acre site near Shanghai, China. The site is configured into a network of canals, to provide a water edge to nearly every villa. The site plan and villas have been designed by an international team of architects, planners, landscape architects, and interior designers. Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects was contracted to design eight villas. With each villa individually designed, the vision for the project is one of a mature, American neighborhood where different styles and scales have developed over time.

A strong emphasis has been placed on the integration of the landscape and the interiors, as well as on a contemporary interpretation of classic Chinese design principals. The designs range in size from approximately 3,000 sf to approximately 7,000 sf. Construction began in the spring of 2006.
