This is a residence with stunning views, overlooking a historic cultural area of Shanghai that spans a century. It sits along the former rue Pelissier, now known as Anfu Road, a short stretch of just 862 meters. Together with Wukang Road, it forms the core of the Xuhui Hengfu historical district. Under the shade of parasol trees, embassies and official residences quietly sit, surrounded by numerous well-preserved historical buildings and homes of famous literary figures from the past to the present. In close proximity are cultural landmarks like the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall, the Spanish Cultural Center’s Cervantes Library, and the Shanghai Library, all contributing to the rich artistic and cultural atmosphere. DAFU brought this contemporary residence to life with its careful selection of eco-friendly materials and the philosophy of “less is more.”
