Rachel
Rachel is a four-storey villa built around a central water courtyard in Zhongshan City, China. The ground floor spaces open onto the courtyard and support family interaction, while the bedrooms on the upper floors remain private. Staggered bedroom blocks form the clean and modern facade and frame views of the landscaped garden. The cantilevered balconies also act as shading overhangs for the ground floor terraces. Earth-colored wood is combined with natural grey granite. Large floor to ceiling windows assist the ventilation of the interior spaces.
Rachel House by Chester WL Goh was highlighted as an innovative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Rachel House earned the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize which celebrates exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
