“Light is the source of every presence.”
— Louis Kahn
Nestled on the banks of the Wei River in Xi’an’s Qinhan New City, CIFI. Phenomenon emerges as a quietly poetic fusion of nature’s rhythms and contemporary form. Conceived as a serene retreat beyond the urban core, this project reimagines modern living through the lens of “resort style” comfort.
Drawing from the everyday rhythms of Xi’an life, WJ STUDIO has woven multiple living scenarios into a single, fluid spatial narrative—one that is both evocative and eminently practical.
01 Symbiosis of Scenes: Redefining Vacation Living
From “residential shell” to “immersive experience”
This 380 sqm townhouse, envisioned as a second home, deliberately breaks away from rigid zoning. Instead, the floor plan acts as a series of “dynamic modules,” each ready to host a different activity. On the ground level, a reception lounge soars to 4.6 meters, its L shaped arrangement effortlessly linking greeting, entertaining, tea ceremonies and river views. A crisp white Paper sofa anchors the room—its clean lines speaking to a contemporary aesthetic while quietly honoring the Eastern ideal of “less is more.”
Beyond the lounge, a wooden screen conceals a surprise: sliding panels reveal a Zen inspired tea room. Taking its cue from the Cha Jing (Classic of Tea), the space is appointed with CPH Denmark’s Sphere vases, pine needle arrangements and the screen—together creating a moment of calm contemplation, “one pot of tea, one framed scene.”
A sculptural spiral staircase leads upward to the lady of the house’s private gallery. Here, a petal shaped sofa in pure white unfurls beneath deep red armchairs, echoing the portrait of a woman on the wall. It’s an intimate interplay of form, color and elegance.
02 Unbounded Functionality: Deconstructing the Essence of Living
Light and material as living elements
Panoramic floor to ceiling windows draw the Wei River’s shimmer indoors. At sunrise and sunset, the hammered red copper wall catches the light, glowing with a warm, golden radiance, while an Amazon green marble countertop flows through the space like a frozen current. A Tom Dixon floor lamp and sculptural vessels add unexpected color notes—here, nature’s palette and artisanal craft quietly converse.
Fluid function, intergenerational harmony
On the second floor, an open kitchen and dining area invites family interaction: the Western style island extends seamlessly onto the terrace, erasing the boundary between inside and out.
The third floor study embraces a “less is more” philosophy. A floating bookshelf—free of preset compartments—beckons each family member to curate their own interests, from records to books to artwork. The multifunctional desk doubles as a tea table, chessboard and craft station, suggesting a blending of different modes of thought.
Also on this level, bedrooms for children and grandparents each reflect their inhabitants. The girl’s room becomes a “secret garden,” softened by a tapestry; the boy’s room adopts a black and white palette for a modern minimalist feel; the grandparents’ suite, clad in wood paneling and flooring, exudes Zen tranquility.
In the master suite on the fourth floor, luxury reigns. A 270° panoramic window frames river mist and city skyline alike; a B&O metal Bluetooth speaker on the nightstand elevates the experience. Mirror fronted wardrobe doors slide open to reveal a generous walk in closet—a private refuge for the spirit.
The four zone bathroom completes the narrative: black and white marble walls evoke ink wash artistry, and, from the soaking tub, switchable privacy glass transforms into an expressive landscape—“the body remains, the mind wanders.”
At CIFI. Phenomenon, the show home transcends the notion of a mere “house.” It is a living script, continually evolving. Three generations discover their own quiet corners and, through adaptable spaces, create lasting family memories. When copper whispers to light and the terrace speaks to the stars, the poetry of resort living is woven into every carefully folded detail.
