Nestled in the lush landscapes of Dongguan, China, Crepuscule Manor redefines what it means to live in harmony with nature. Designed by BDSD Boundless Design, this 1200㎡ French-style villa draws inspiration from classical architecture while embracing modern living. Surrounded by rolling golf greens, mountains, and nearby parks, the manor becomes a poetic dwelling that balances sophistication, calmness, and natural beauty.
Classical French Aesthetics Meets Modern Lifestyle
From the moment visitors step inside, stone arcades and arched doorways establish a timeless rhythm. Traditional elements like carved gypsum moldings are juxtaposed with modern mirrors and glass, creating interiors where the past and present meet seamlessly.
The lounge recalls the grandeur of 19th-century salons, featuring dark green cabinetry, tranquil landscape paintings, and bold accents like a vivid red floor lamp. Each detail reflects an intentional mix of European refinement and playful individuality.
In the tea room, Oriental simplicity merges with light and shadow from the courtyard, turning tea-brewing into a ritual of serenity and poetry.
Dining, Kitchen, and Everyday Elegance
The dining and kitchen area embraces a natural palette enhanced by crystal chandeliers. Dark-toned dining sets and mid-century furniture bring out the textures of fine materials, while the open kitchen with central island encourages gatherings. With natural light streaming through shutters, the space becomes a backdrop for both intimate dinners and everyday family life.

A Sanctuary of Wellness and Leisure
Descending into the basement retreat, residents find a personal haven anchored by a wine cellar. Black-and-white parquet flooring, brass accents, and deep green velvet furniture set the tone for relaxation.
Here, wellness becomes central: a SPA, steam room, and sunken bathtub offer restorative therapies, while the gym and billiards area provide dynamic energy. Artworks, white surfaces, and curated lighting transform the space into a meditative escape.

Light, Art, and Family Living
On the second floor, floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings bring daylight deep into the home. The living spaces resemble a private gallery, adorned with abstract art, golden accents, and tactile materials. Sunlight creates shifting patterns across furniture, inviting residents to slow down and connect with their surroundings.
Bedrooms from the third to fifth floors serve as sanctuaries where indoor lounges, warm tones, and views of greenery merge. Each space fosters contemplation, tranquility, and a deeper connection with nature.
Art Integrated into Daily Life
Throughout Crepuscule Manor, art is not an accessory but a lifestyle. Sculptures, paintings, and curated furnishings are woven into circulation paths, lighting schemes, and material selections. This fusion elevates everyday life into an artistic experience.
A Poetic Dwelling Between City and Nature
By blending French architectural elegance with modern lifestyle sensibilities, Crepuscule Manor reshapes villa living in China. Its restrained design, luxurious details, and seamless integration with nature make it more than just a residence—it is a living poem.
