With the advancement of urbanization, environmental art design is becoming increasingly important in contemporary Chinese interior design, especially in the design of modern rural villas. The integration of traditional culture and art has become an important way to enhance the artistic value and cultural significance of residential spaces. This article explores the psychological and physiological effects of interior design that combines transparent materials with traditional art elements from a biological perspective on residents. Transparent materials are like delicate optical structures in the biological world. They not only give the space a sense of lightness and openness, but their interaction with light also has a profound impact on the human body. From a biomechanical perspective, just like the sensitive capture of light signals by the biological visual system, transparent materials of different colors and materials can adjust light and shadow, and then act on the human nervous system and psychological state. Bright light passing through transparent materials is like a strong stimulus perceived by organisms, which can stimulate vitality; soft light is like a soothing signal, which can bring a relaxing effect. In addition, the integration of traditional cultural elements enhances the spiritual satisfaction of residents by evoking cultural identity and emotional resonance. This paper also combines case studies, such as Hiroshima Optical Glass House and Türkiye Draman Villa, to analyze how transparent materials can achieve the balance of visual, emotional and biological effects in the modern living environment, providing a new perspective for improving the quality of life of residents. The research results indicate that the organic combination of transparent materials and traditional cultural elements can not only improve the biological experience of residential spaces, but also promote physical and mental health, enhance the emotional value and cultural depth of the space. By applying insights from biomechanics, designers can create environments that support human physiology, ultimately improving residents' quality of life. This interdisciplinary approach offers a novel perspective on how interior design can significantly influence well-being and cultural depth in modern living environments.
