When in October 2010, someone proposed me to be the designer for the renovation of Rockefeller villa in shanghai I felt extremely excited.
当时正值2010国庆时节，一位朋友向我提案了一份关于上海洛克菲勒别墅改建项目的方案，使我兴奋不已。
Such a building is so peculiar and witness of last century changes in history.
这是一栋不可多得的设计精品，并且见证了上世纪风云变幻的历史。
The villa was built in 1913 for the American Rockefeller family in a classical colonial style: mostly wood floor in the main interior areas and ceramic mosaic in the bathrooms a few fireplaces imported during last century and a very stunning entrance in marble stones to testify the austerity and power. The villa was not actually the residence for Rockefeller’s family in Shanghai but a gathering and hospitality place for fellow American investors.
这栋别墅落成于1913年，为洛克菲勒家族度身打造的古典殖民时代的建筑风格：以大量实木地板打底的室内区域以及浴室中的陶瓷锦砖，佐以当年进口的柴火壁炉配合气派庄严的大理石入口来作为其家族的底蕴与权贵的象征。然而从别墅本身并未被洛克菲勒当做居家用，更多的是扮演商务宴请与招待其美国投资人与生意合作伙伴的场所。
