T.K. Chu Creates A Coveted Serenity in Suzhou

t.k. chu projects a note of duality and his thinking of traditional chinese philosophies into this modern oasis in suzhou. the cradle of coupling garden, which preserves the legacy of the dual qualities of suzhou: modernity and tradition. embedded on a secluded retreat, enclosed by tranquil nature, equipped with a verdant backyard, the residence is a classic microcosm of suzhou gardens.

the residence is in the proximity of a courtyard named ‘ŏu yuán (耦园)’ (couple’s retreat garden; ŏu yuán) which is recognized as a unesco world heritage site in 2000.

t. k. chu nestled a serenely elegant home built around a courtyard. there is a weighty dose of contagious serenity spreading from the courtyard to the interior through the sliding glass doors, which open to a limpid pool and a zen garden where bamboos and grasses send off refreshing aroma to the interior after a short spell of rain.
