Author Bai Wenping, editor Deng

Wang Bin was born in Shandong after 70. He went to Shenzhen in his early years and was later summoned to Hangzhou by his friends. Since then, he has taken root in this city.

In Wang Bin's eyes, Hangzhou has a unique flavor: "Some cities are particularly foreign, and some cities are particularly large. I think that Hangzhou is particularly' medieval', which may be related to Hangzhou being the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. "

There are "two Wests" in Hangzhou, the first is West Lake, and the second is Xixi. Compared with the West Lake, Wang Bin thinks the beauty of Xixi is more natural and wild. More than 20,000 mu of wetlands are rare in the world.

Around 20 10, Wang Bin officially moved to Xixi to live. 20 18, he decided to establish a "secret kingdom" here with three other friends, Shen and Li Jilai. In June 2020, 165438+ 10, this "secret realm" was finally completed.

Four friends created a secret world together:

A 3000-square-meter China garden.

Wang Bin and his friends have different professional backgrounds, such as architects, Shen is a caravan camp, Li Jilai is in the advertising field, and they also like to collect cultural relics.

Because everyone loves drinking tea and eating, they often get together and become good friends.

There used to be two Western-style buildings here, and four people have a consensus, hoping to transform them into a Chinese-style, modern and fashionable space.

Everyone safely handed over the building of the house to Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "When I see this site, I want to make a garden, but I must remove the symbol system of traditional gardens, such as shape and ornamentation, so that the architectural space can blend quietly with Xixi Wetland."

The visit stream covers an area of 3000 square meters and is divided into four parts. The largest main building is the dining room, and the persimmon room is an independent tea room, outdoor banquet hall and large lawn.

There are many local trees around the building. Zhang Xiaoxiao believes that the beauty of Xixi lies in the "wild", and the trees are in a state of natural growth, so they should be designed along the lines of these branches.

The ground entering the entrance is paved with pebbles, and the switch of the gate is hidden by a stone wall engraved with the word "You Xi". The name was named by Wang Xizhi, and it originated from the story that Wang Xizhi's son visited Dai on a snowy night.

Once, Wang Huizhi remembered his friend Dai Kui, so he went to visit him overnight by boat. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Dai Kui's door, he went back without taking the door, just because "I came back in full swing on a whim. Why should I see Dai? " .

It shows that he has enjoyed the process of finding friends, and it doesn't matter whether he has seen it or not. Zhang Xiaoxiao hopes all the guests who come to visit the stream will have a good time.

This hall used to be the connecting space between two old buildings. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the panoramic view of the pond behind you, but it is too thin and straightforward and lacks hierarchy.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoxiao deliberately created a story for the entrance, and did not directly enter the room. Instead, a golden screen was made, which entered from the side, forming a circular moving line indoors and transitioning to the next space.

The metal spiral staircase is the most popular "perforated landmark" in the space, and the light at the top is illuminated by the light designed by lighting artist Cai Liechao.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "We actually used a more western-style technique, like the lighting roof of the Pantheon, and then let the light from the top shine directly into the relatively dark environment in the middle, so the gas field of this light is very aggregated."

Then go around the back, open a window and look at Xixi Wetland. The scenery is like a long scroll.

Buildings are made of natural materials, which are organized by simple construction logic, such as cornices and various joints.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said that the charm of natural materials lies in the fact that aging and antique use will be preserved and accumulated as valuable time information and become a part of the space atmosphere, which is a unique spatial aesthetic of the orientals.

A teahouse where you can drink tea, drink and listen to music.

Filled with four friends' favorite treasures

There are three persimmon trees at the water's edge that are hundreds of years old. Four friends agreed that they should be preserved, hence the name "persimmon room". Persimmon is homophonic with the world, which means "on earth, not on earth".

The persimmon room has an independent entrance and exit, and the design is relatively introverted. Zhang Xiaoxiao hopes that the guests who come here will have a sense of intimacy when acquaintances visit friends.

The wall is also painted black, and the gray wall built outside the floor-to-ceiling window creates a small scene, which makes the space gather gas and people sitting in the tea room can pay more attention to each other.

Open up a large space, one is dedicated to drinking tea and the other can drink and listen to music. More often, there are no boundaries between tea, wine and music.

Li Jilai is responsible for indoor soft decoration, from tables and chairs and furniture to record players and tea sets. They are carefully selected and moved from their own homes, especially books. Mr. Wang and Li Jilai almost got half.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the small-bottomed lard cup was a favorite object of the four friends. Wang Bin said, "These five cups are Dehua porcelain, probably dating back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, about 400 years old.

It should be the best white porcelain cup in China. Now there is no porcelain clay, so it's hard to see such a good object. This kind of white is also called ivory white, and foreigners are also called China white. Beautiful shape and good glaze color, which is one of our favorite objects. "

The pot that Long Wen gave to the persimmon room and customized for it is the most meaningful thing for four people.

Wang Bin said, "We opened it on1October 8th, 165438. He1finished cooking on October 7 165438. When the weather was warm, he brought it from Shanghai to Hangzhou, which also suggested that everything went well and we all liked it. "

Because he likes listening to music, Li Jilai brought a World War II vinyl phonograph. Every rock tea served to guests is also a "minority collection" that Li Jilai personally retrieved from Wuyishan.

At the beginning of the renovation, Zhang Xiaoxiao, as an architect, watched Li Jilai move in a lot of things, making the space messy, and once felt that it was going to be "messed up".

But watching Li Jilai match furniture and utensils bit by bit, creating a space atmosphere, and finally making the persimmon room present a comfortable feeling that can make people "stay", Zhang Xiaoxiao lamented that this is the thinking difference between a designer and a living family in space layout, which is worth learning from each other.

After the space is completed, four people often meet here, making tea in the afternoon, drinking at night, reading books and listening to music occasionally. Wang said that this place is like his own living room, and he will sing a play when he is in high spirits.

Although the four people have different occupations, their views on aesthetics and taste are the same, so no matter who brings anything good to play or share today, there will be no contradiction with space.

16 restaurant, every room is a work of art, and all good friends are open to play.

There are 16 restaurants in Youliu, and each restaurant is independent. Their relationship with corridors is like restaurants and streets. Zhang Xiaoxiao deliberately painted the walls black to highlight the metal doorplates at the entrance of each restaurant.

16 room, each room has a different name and style. Halfway through the design, four friends felt that if every restaurant was made exactly the same, they would lose interest, so they simply asked for a room and invited artists and friends to participate in the layout.

Wang Bin is from Shandong. His private room is closest to the water, and the terrace faces Xixi wetland. He named this room "Penglai", which is a place name in Shandong.

Hanging indoors are the works of young painter Shang and the words "Visit the Stream" inscribed by Jingci Temple abbot Jie Qing. On the coffee table are hidden utensils, cups and candlesticks that he moved from home.

Li Jilai usually likes to collect cultural relics, so there are plenty of rooms.

The calligraphy works of Professor Chen Dazhong from China Academy of Fine Arts and the paintings of Runsong, a young painter from Zhejiang University, are hung on the wall, and even his own collection is hung in the bathroom attached to the restaurant. Because I like drinking tea, compared with other restaurants, the tea set and arrangement here are more particular.

Zhang Xiaoxiao decorated the room, and friends joked that they knew it was an architect's room as soon as they entered. There are many architectural models in it, as well as his understanding of artifacts.

Wang Bin also invited Sanfeng, a friend who is good at outdoor camping design, to decorate the room.

Wang Bin said, "When you enter his room, it's like entering a wilderness. There were kerosene lamps during World War II, which can continue to be used. There is a set of outdoor furniture on the balcony. Sitting there lighting kerosene lamps and playing guitar is very interesting. "

In the room decorated by Pang, a famous designer and stone connoisseur, there are many old stones and calligraphy and paintings he brought back from Suzhou. Generally speaking, flowers are placed in the middle of a big round dining table, but Pang puts stones directly on the table, which has become a unique device.

Wang Bin said, "I was there the day Pang Xi came to decorate. He had a whim and put a stone here, and this room suddenly became special. "

Liu Guang, a friend of the designer, shows his antique collection in a box, which is full of quiet aesthetics.

16 rooms have a teahouse in common, which is not available in ordinary Chinese restaurants.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "When we opened this restaurant, we were also examining the entertainment style of China people. Now when we go to a banquet, we often have to go through the first, second or even third scene, which is actually unnatural. The ancients would never do that. We should strive to make the banquet space interesting and rich enough for everyone to get together here. "

Visitors can have tea and dinner without changing places. People who come early can make tea first or watch the scenery on the terrace. After dinner, they don't have to sit at the table. They can continue chatting on the coffee table.

Wang Han also loves the gathering place of writers.

The visit to Xixi was opened on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2020. It's not long, and there's not much publicity. Many designers, artists and gourmets have visited it, including Wang Han, the host of Hunan Satellite TV, Long Wen, a purple sand artist, and Zheng Li, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts.

65438+10.5 is Wang Han's second visit to Xixi. When he first came here, it was still a construction site, and the building was not completely built. He is a good friend of Li Jilai for many years, because both of them are from Changsha, and they speak Hunan dialect as soon as they meet.

Wang Han has been collecting calligraphy and painting for twenty years and purple sand for nearly ten years. He is also interested in tea props and ancient art, and he can write it himself. In the persimmon room, he wrote a small piece.

Persimmon room, four people and Wang Han, Long Wen, drink tea together, talk about utensils, and talk about life. On the same day, Zheng Li also wrote a menu, wrote down what everyone wanted to eat, and stamped it to make an appointment to eat the dishes on this menu next time.

Although Wang Bin and his friends have never opened a restaurant, they both love food. "We think the taste of food is 30% in the hands of the chef and 70% depends on the origin of the ingredients."

The common requirement of the four people is that things that are out of season can't be served, and they should go to the producing area to buy ingredients, such as mutton in Inner Mongolia, peppers in Hunan, vermicelli in Yimeng Mountain, Chinese cabbage in Jiaozhou, Shandong, and yellow croaker in Wenzhou.

After the dishes were almost fixed, Wang Bin and Li Ji once came to yongfu temple to meet Master Yue Zhen, and the monk casually said, "You want to ask Professor Zheng Li to write recipes." .

Wang Bin thought, in fact, the great calligrapher Zhang Daqian is also a very fond of food. He lived in Taipei in his later years and formed a "three-party" with Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Qun. At every party, Zhang Daqian will write down the dishes of the day with a brush. Strangely, recipes are always stolen, and now they are popular in auction houses.

When Li Zheng came to dinner, Wang Bin specially invited him, and Zheng Li agreed.

While writing all night, Zheng Li wrote several articles for practice, and if he made mistakes, he corrected them. Unexpectedly, after finishing the recipe, he found the modified version more interesting.

"Whether it's dishes, utensils or collections, we don't make some adjustments regularly, so many people often come over and say, how did it become like this again? I think this is very fun. "

In Wang Bin's view, there is no need to compete with others: "Everything will become interesting only if you have passion for life, life and food. There are almost no restrictions here, everyone is just having fun! "
