That is a distant way to present the glory of old Shanghai.

Architecture is the epitome of a city.

After years of tempering, I understand the prosperity of the world.

They carry the memories of the city along the way.

These old houses with heavy vicissitudes tell the story of eventful years and witness the warm past.

Every brick and tile is a solidified history.

Time flies, but it seems to stay in the building.

If you want to use a kind of architecture to represent Shanghai, it must be the "old villa". The combination of Chinese and western culture is the tolerance of all rivers, the embodiment of Shanghai's temperament and culture, and the priceless "treasure" in the city.

Muller villa

Muller Villa, built at 1936, is located at the corner of Shaanxi South Road, Yan 'an Middle Road, Shanghai. It is said that the design of this house is based on a dream of Mahler's favorite little daughter. At that time, my little daughter dreamed of having an "Andersen Fairy Tale Castle", so Mahler invited a designer to design this castle-style villa with Nordic and Norwegian architecture at No.30 South Shaanxi Road, and invested a lot of money, which lasted for 9 years.

Shanghai old villa is the most classic residential building in Shanghai, and each building carries a legendary story of Shanghai in those days. In 1930s, the bankrupt Belgian Lafayette sold his beloved villa and left Shanghai with great disappointment. Coincidentally, more than 60 years later, his grandson Vermeer was sent to work in Shanghai. Fei Muer wanted to find and buy his ancestors' old home, when he met Henry, an American who specializes in housing brokerage in Shanghai.

The value contained in the old villa can never be built with one brick and one tile. The story of two foreigners "speculating on houses" in new Shanghai is also of great reference significance to Guangzhou, a city with many old houses. Turn old villas into treasures. In the southwest corner of Shanghai, at the junction of Xuhui District and Luwan District, several quiet roadsides are houses with red tiles and white walls, pointed roofs and oval steel windows. Through the fence of the garden, you can see a large area of dense green plants, and several towering trees stick their heads out from the top of the fence. In the evening, the window reflects soft lights and the piano sounds faint. This is a garden house representing the identity and status symbol of old Shanghai. "Villa life" in Shanghai is not only the dream of Shanghai residents, but also the dream of some foreigners living in Shanghai.

The old villa has a history of only 100 years, but it has cast a unique charm and temperament of Shanghai. They witnessed the most turbulent years in Shanghai's history and embraced different living and living cultures from all over the world. Every building carries the most legendary story of Shanghai in the last century.

In the alley under the shade of the phoenix tree, you inadvertently step on the fallen leaves on the roadside, and the sound of flowing piano or violin comes from your ear. In foreign small buildings with different styles and strange postures, the quiet gardens and the swaying French phoenix trees complement each other, looming ... This is the charm of Shanghai deeply rooted in your bones!

Who would have thought that those old houses had installed glass sliding door beside the elevator decades or even hundreds of years ago, and designed an open-air swimming pool, sun room, vault, flower and bird room, ballroom, billiards room, bar ... every detail is fascinating. ...

While the residents of the Imperial Capital Courtyard are still walking the birds and listening to the grand opera, the fashionable people living in the houses of Magic Capital have been drinking red wine and coffee, listening to the symphony and dancing ballroom dancing.

Xinhua Road No.315 Garden Residence (Shengyongyi Mansion)

This is a typical King George style villa in England, covering an area of 2,422 square meters, with a building area of 1.725 square meters, a garden of 2,000 square meters and a brick-wood structure. The wood used in the beam is imported from abroad, and the wood with knots is specially selected to keep the original chisel marks.

Liu's garden residence, built in 193 1, was also created by the famous architect Hudac. The whole building is modeled after the architectural style of ancient Greece in Europe and has a strong exotic style.

The owner of the house, Liu Jisheng, is the younger brother of Liu Hongsheng, a famous patriotic industrialist in old Shanghai. Liu's Enterprise Group, Rong's Cotton Spinning Group, Guo's Yongan Group and Jane's Nanyang Tobacco Group, headed by Liu Hongsheng, are known as the "four great kings" of China's industrial and commercial circles in the past.

It is said that this house is a 40th birthday gift from Liu Jisheng to his wife. In the process of designing Liu Jia Garden, Hudac was moved by the love story of Liu Jisheng and his wife. He thinks that a China love story is as charming as the most beautiful psyche story in Greek mythology, so he decides to make a psyche statue for the Italian Liu family at his own expense.

After completion, Mrs. Liu named the house "Love Garden" to commemorate their love relationship.

Among all the arts, architecture is ubiquitous and is also the art that people are most familiar with. People don't have to look at paintings, listen to music and read poems, but they can't do without touching, using and appreciating buildings. Architecture needs people to experience, use, understand and maintain. No matter in history or today, all kinds of architectural arts in different times have integrated gardens, paintings, sculptures, movies, television, music, literature, arts and crafts and other arts in various ways.

Located at No.9 Dongping Road, Shanghai, it is said to be a "betrothal gift" and has been favored by Jiang and Song. Things have changed, and now it is the "No.9 Teaching Building" of the Middle School Attached to Shanghai Conservatory of Music. The gentle slope of French Sha Meng roof with tiger window is elegant and stable, beautiful and straight. The dense Parthenocissus went straight to the balcony door and hung down, as if remembering a performance. Strolling in the garden in front of the house, you can find that the romance of the host and hostess was ingenious. I saw the green grass, the pavilion of cedar stone path, and the rockery engraved with the word "Love Lu" inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek hidden in the landscape.

In front of Elu, there is a curved pond. Summer is probably a lotus leaf field, and the Taihu stone with the words "Ailu" stands above the rockery by the water, under the pavilion and by the curved bridge. Thin and bald head of state, elegant lady, wandering in the waterside pavilion, birds and flowers, you love me. This is a classic aristocratic love scene, a pair of immortal couples worthy of everyone's blessing, envy and jealousy.

Architecture is a solidified history, bearing the historical changes. Architecture exists because it is art, because it transcends practicality itself.

Home carries memories, dreams and beliefs. These old houses may not be the soul of the city, but they constitute the flesh and blood of the city.
