Features: California 1999 New Villa Design—Orange County, which won the only full-field gold medal of the GOLDNUGGET awarded by 14 states in the U.S. and Pacific Rim countries that year, as well as the American MAME Architecture Award. The birth of Beijing Orange County eliminated the "time difference" in architecture between Beijing and the U.S. With its distinctive sense of the era and innovative spirit, diverse floor plans, flawless interior design, and economically reasonable land use, Beijing Orange County achieved a breakthrough in "zero-distance" proximity to high-end foreign residential properties. The first phase of Beijing Orange County, with 128 villas, sold out within a week of its launch, setting a record-breaking sales speed and shaking the entire real estate industry with its forward-thinking mindset. This book elaborates on the advanced and humanistic aspects of the new "pure residential design" concept in the U.S. from multiple perspectives, including community planning, landscape environment, architecture, structure, equipment, electrical systems, interior design, and furnishings. It marks the first shift from emphasizing home renovation to focusing on thematic, life-oriented, and personalized home decoration. The book features over 300 exquisite photographs and planning illustrations carefully selected and arranged by the editors, which not only provide readers with aesthetic enjoyment but also convey the design philosophy that architecture is not just a technology but also a cultural creation.
