Modern Rebirth of the Golden Age

In the heart of Shanghai, shaded by plane trees, SLD has used a golden key of time and space to unlock the golden era of the 1930s for the new generation of connoisseurs. This grand exhibition mansion, blending the boldness of Art Deco with the soul of Shikumen, is reconstructing a free domain for contemporary hermits in the urban jungle through its octagonal geometric code. 🌆【Architectural Poetry | A Geometric Symphony Through Time】🌆 ▫️ The façade cuts light and shadow at a 0.618 golden ratio, with octagonal window panes embedded like diamond facets into terracotta brick walls. As dusk falls, LED light strips trace the metal lines, reviving the golden years of the Bund's architectural ensemble. ▫️ The symmetrically designed bronze entrance door hides a secret: fingerprint unlocking triggers a 1930s jazz melody, and upon opening, crystal chandeliers with plane tree leaf motifs illuminate overhead in sequence. ▫️ The folding façade design turns every corner into a viewing frame. The second-floor terrace offers a distant view of the Lujiazui skyline, while the third-floor windows frame the distinctive gable decorations of Shikumen. 🛋️【Spatial Narrative | Luxury Tamed by Geometry】🛋️ 🔸 Foyer: Italian handcrafted wallcoverings replicate the texture of plane tree bark, with each "leaf" embedded with micro-LEDs that ripple with light as footsteps approach. Hidden storage areas conceal Japanese hinoki wardrobes, releasing cedar fragrance upon fingerprint activation. 🔸 Living Room Theater: A 4.5-meter ceiling height pairs with a floating canopy housing a retractable B&O sound system. During soirées, the ceiling transforms into a starry sky projection. The octagonal coffee table hides a mechanism—a light touch reveals a mini bar, with Italian Murano glasses pre-chilled to 8°C. 🛏️【Bedroom Sanctuary | Time Sealed in Marble】🛏️ ▫️ Master Suite: The Roman white marble bathtub, inlaid with gold-leaf cracks, automatically plays 4K footage of Provence lavender fields when the water temperature is preset to 38°C. The smart mattress records sleep data and gently wakes you at dawn with simulated sunrise lighting. ▫️ Children’s Bathroom: The smoky pink marble countertop conceals temperature-sensing faucets, with water flowing as smoothly as silk over skin. Manhattan stone tiles form a world map, and during showers, the floor vibrates with the rhythm of Atlantic waves. 🍷【Underground Sanctuary | A Collector’s Spiritual Temple】🍷 ▫️ Mirror ceilings extend the space infinitely, while fossil marble display walls hide climate control systems, where Andean ammonites silently converse with Kyoto lacquer boxes. ▫️ The dual-sided bar features a retractable whiskey-tasting area. A touch on the stone switch raises a climate-controlled wine cabinet holding a 1982 Château Margaux. ▫️ The multifunctional room holds a surprise: an ordinary-looking bookshelf slides open to reveal a secret chamber displaying meteorite fragments collected by the owner from the Sahara Desert. Here, every stone slab undergoes seven rounds of hand-polishing, and every metal line is precise to the millimeter. As jazz flows from hidden speakers and smart curtains adjust with the sun and moon, Hengchang Jiuli is crafting a new living ritual—not merely replicating the golden age, but poetically reviving the essence of Art Deco in the digital era. 🌆
