The term 'Yadan' originates from the Uyghur ethnic group and means steep mound. A series of soil mounds with varying heights and shapes stand tall on the surface of the lake. Due to the high copper content, the lake is blue-green in color, blending with the yellow brown soil mounds to create a unique picture. The Yadan landform, resembling a devil's castle, has accumulated a "colorful" brown color over the years, while also possessing the texture of earth and gravel. Regarding Yadan, we always remember: scorching sun, sandstorms, heat waves, vastness, clarity, and freedom. The specific manifestation in the design elements is: earthy reddish brown color scheme+green color scheme+layered stacking folds+coarse woven fabric+coarse stone texture, which also became the design inspiration for this case.

Project Background

The three of us "are the warmest words in the world. The owner of this large flat is such a warm family of three, with a father who is elegant and dignified, a daughter who is intelligent and clever, and a mother who is a pampered hands off shopkeeper. The first time I talked to them about decoration was through a video call in Vancouver, 9000 kilometers away. Su, a 20-year-old girl, as the representative of the family, clearly expressed the family's decoration needs: retro, light fa, wabi sabi, natural, and warm colors.

House type renovation

1. The storage room door opening on the right side of the closed entrance has been transformed into an independent central kitchen that enters from the restaurant. The original central kitchen space has been transformed into an open style western kitchen, with island platforms and small round tables set up for breakfast. This can not only achieve the separation of oil and smoke in the kitchen space, but also maximize the storage space of the entrance shoe cabinet.

2. The south second bedroom behind the living room has been converted into a semi open yoga studio, which not only provides a comfortable and spacious yoga space, but also enhances the visual experience of the living room.

3. The storage room at the left rear of the entrance and the south bedroom were merged together to create a large dressing room inside the bedroom. And a part of the original bedroom cloakroom was divided as a storage room, closer to the entrance area, making it more convenient to store luggage and other items.

Living room

The rich earth is the background color of this space, and the master used a scraper to gently sweep out a rough texture like gravel. The red color on the TV wall atomization fireplace is like a campfire in the desert, lighting up the following autumn.

The reddish brown wood veneer and cashmere sofa create a relaxed and stable atmosphere. You can snuggle up on the sofa, step on the comfortable carpet, hold a book in a relaxed posture, and quietly wait for the sunset glow. The Roman corner table next to the sofa and the pottery waving ink recklessly appeared dignified and solemn in the three o'clock afternoon sun. The tea table placed by the window is custom-made, with a unique avocado stone countertop that vividly resembles a lake on the Gobi Desert and the cup of tea in it.

In this space, whether it is dialogue or rest, there is a wonderful chemical reaction between people and space. Carefully selected furniture and the accumulated traces of life, they make people fall in love at first sight and never get tired of them.

Restaurant

With the help of the island platform, the western kitchen and the restaurant are connected. The small round table on the island platform can drink Congee in the morning and wine in the evening.

The rough yellow marble on the wall looks like it has been eroded by wind for a long time, with a beauty that has been tested by time. The high cabinet with skeletal lines next to the meal can be perfectly embedded in the steamer and refrigerator, and also forms a visual whole with the wooden veneer on the top. The sunlight filtered through the wooden blinds, leaving orderly marks on the warm cherry wood... All of this created a harmonious and unified retro atmosphere.

Space shouldn't be so boring. So the retro green petal bar chair is as diverse and colorful as a tropical rainforest. The Western Kitchen Bar, wrapped in Panda White Stone, is unwilling to only carry the mundane atmosphere of simple meals and passing on dishes. The vigorous and powerful ink marks can no longer resist its carefree talent. The yellow and black warning line door frames in the laundry room also playfully express the phrase 'if there are miscellaneous items inside, please do not enter unless requested'... They are all fulfilling their respective roles and telling the owner's uniqueness.

Yoga room

The open yoga studio is a unique scenic spot in the reception space, with gypsum lamps growing out of the cabinets, mysterious and beautiful like ancient mountain stone palaces.

On the path between the yoga studio and the master bedroom hallway, there is an oil painting with a story.

In Paris in 1954, at the age of sixty, Le Corbusier never imagined that on the other side of the ocean in 2024, there would still be people lingering in his handwriting. I prefer painting to talking. I appreciate his honesty and love his paintings as much as he does himself. Every time I pass by, my heart beats with excitement.

Master bedroom

The transition from liveliness to tranquility signifies that the space has entered a more private realm. The entrance to the master bedroom is a separate corner dressing room. Round neck or high neck, which necklace to wear, and which bag to accompany me out today... Her dressing room says "welcome" to her every morning. Then every night, I look forward to her return, hoping that she can change into comfortable home clothes, play today's best single, light up her exclusive autumn fragrance, and sleep in a delicate beauty sleep.

The earthy and cherry wood colors here exude a sense of tranquility and stability. At this moment, a thousand words cannot compare to lying on a soft velvet thick backrest bed and a customized electric memory mattress according to one's body shape in the twilight, returning to the most comfortable and relaxed posture like a baby.

The next morning, when I woke up, the lush greenery of the city became a vivid animation scroll in the corner of the bay window. The bamboo leaf totem on the pillow, combined with the unique wooden table and chairs, intentionally or unintentionally created a graceful and relaxed Chinese style.

Daughter's room

If the sense of ceremony is the source of vitality, then the dressing room is the best sense of ceremony to please oneself. As soon as Su, a 20-year-old girl, enters her bedroom, she is greeted by a huge dressing room, which is her little world and treasure trove. In the future, this place will be filled with beautiful and dreamy clothes, and the clothes on the hangers will be colorful like a rainbow, each one telling her style and personality, collecting her memories and emotions, and witnessing her growth and changes.

The linen colored curtains transport natural and soft light to the space, while the full and durable lamb wool fabric bed provides a strong sense of wrapping. Candlesticks and wicker cabinet doors add a touch of antiquity to the space, and the playful monkey wall lamp is from the classic Italian brand Seletti, which is still fashionable today.

Elderly Room

The bedroom facing north is occasionally occupied by grandparents and continues the warm and soft tones of other spaces. At the same time, it is equipped with flexible leisure chairs and rotatable small corner tables for using iPad for leisure and entertainment.
