Today, I will share an excellent historical building in Shanghai, the former residence of Sun Ke, the son of Sun Yat-sen, Sun Ke Villa. It was designed and built by the famous designer Hudec. It was originally for self-occupation and later transferred to Sun Ke, the descendant of Sun Yat-sen. Like other works of Hudec that influenced Shanghai, such as Wukang Mansion, Park Hotel, and Grand Theatre, it has a unique style and is worth seeing. It is a three-story building with a mix of Spanish and Italian Renaissance styles. The main building is Spanish style, with two gardens in the front and back, a gentle roof, red tiles, decorative cornices, and other Spanish styles; shell-shaped arches, pointed arch porches, spiral columns, fish scale-like exterior wall decorations... The main building adopts the Spanish style, and the details also have Baroque architectural elements. The red cylindrical tiles and exquisite cornice decorations all reflect the unique style of Shanghai architecture in the 1920s and 1930s. The villa has three floors. The first floor is distributed with a restaurant, kitchen, reception room, and study, and the north side is the functional area such as the secretary's office and conference room. The second floor has a living room and four bedrooms, a separate bathroom, and an indoor balcony. The third floor has a guest room, study, living room, and outdoor terrace. Address: No. 1262, Yan'an West Road

The building has two floors, and currently open are the first floor and the fountain area in the outdoor garden. ✅Sun Ke Villa, as the name suggests, its owner is Sun Yat-sen’s eldest son, Sun Ke, known as the first son of the Republic of China. Sun Ke was the first mayor of Guangzhou, and later served as president of the Examination Yuan, Executive Yuan, and Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China. ✅Sun Ke Villa was designed by the Slovak-Hungarian architect Hudec and built in 1931. It is said that it was a villa designed by Hudec for himself and later sold to Sun Ke. ✅The interior decoration of Sun Ke Villa is very exquisite. The door openings and windows in the villa use pointed arches and round arch designs, which are very beautiful. Almost every room is equipped with a fireplace (even the passages beside the stairs have fireplaces). In the rooms without fireplaces, heaters are hidden under the windowsills. The corridors are lined with teak wainscots of the same color as the ground. Windows, porches, and stairs are decorated with large and small Roman rope columns, and there are Italian-style chimneys on the roof... Every detail shows the ingenuity of designer Hudec. ✅There is a secret room in the vaulted hall on the first floor. It is said that this is where Sun Ke stored important documents, and even his children were forbidden to enter this area. ✅When you step out of the lobby on the ground floor, the view in front of you suddenly opens up. In the center is a small fountain with four toads standing at the four corners and spraying water towards the center, which is quite interesting. ✅The terrazzo tiles on the outdoor ground are very retro, the garden is lush and green, and the trees are quite old, but it's a pity that you can't see them up close. 📍Detailed address: No. 60 Panyu Road 🚉Transportation strategy: Line 10, "Jiaotong University" station 📝Note tips: The "Jingeng 2024 Comprehensive Art Exhibition" is held in Sun Ke's villa, so you need to buy a ticket to enter the villa.

Sun Ke Villa is also designed by Wudak, blending nearly 5 styles, such as red brick tiles, gentle roofs are Spanish style; variable window frames are Baroque style, with flat arches, round arches; pointed arches are quite Islamic; the chimney on the roof is Italian Renaissance style... These different architectural styles are perfectly combined on the same building. The building has two floors, and currently the first floor and outdoor garden are temporarily open for ticketed visitors. It feels inconvenient to visit indoors on rainy days, so just look outside, and come back to patronize when there are interesting exhibitions in the future, to appreciate the extraordinary design of Wudak.

Later, due to Wudac's financial difficulties in undertaking the construction of the Mur Hall, he sold this villa to Sun Ke at a low price. In March 1949, before Sun Ke left the mainland for Hong Kong, he sold this villa again. It was later used as an administrative office building by the Shanghai Biological Products Research Institute for a long time.
