Island
I want a place that is quiet and calm. No matter how noisy it is outside, I can feel at ease when I get home without anxiety, fear, or worry. The house owner says
The owner of this case is a solitary lady, a senior media professional from Guangzhou. She is busy with work on weekdays and wants to find a balance between work and life, giving the emotion a place, the body and mind nourishment, and the burnout a space.
The consensus was reached at the beginning of our design to build a quiet, simple, and artistic space atmosphere that conforms to the owner’s aesthetic appreciation and all the imagination for a better life. The moment she opens the door, she can enjoy the immersive comfort, leisure, and relaxation.
We skillfully wrap the abrupt beams and load-bearing columns in the original space with natural boards and place individual blocks so that the beams and the top surface are suspended. As a result, the spatial form has undergone a qualitative change, redefining the outline of life space so that the owner can have a sense of stability no matter where she chooses to rest.
Be isolated from the noise, natural and pure, get rid of the fatigue of the day, let the sensory emotions be released, and let the apparent spatial structure present the essence and meaning of life.
Minimalist design techniques are used in the whole space to get rid of unnecessary decoration. The materials are artistic paint, micro-cement, and natural walnut, which highlights the sculptural feeling and texture of the modeling block.
The layout of the guest room and restaurant breaks the closed form of traditional space, allowing open interaction between the connection and fracture of space, satisfying the daily leisure and social attributes, and forming a quiet, natural, and continuous life section.
The light passes through the soft gauze shutter and is neutralized by the warm veneer and paint, showing tender poetry. Standing in front of the window, the summer wind and early autumn leaves project the most authentic scenery, perceiving the beauty of life with space and capturing the silence of solitude.
The bedroom’s simple and elegant natural wood tone makes the space pure and quiet, with a natural and simple taste. At this moment, the body and mind can be relaxed, and the owner can feel the temperature of her home by stepping barefoot on the moist micro-cement floor.
The wood veneer is designed with skeletal lines with high fitness and appearance, without deliberate decoration, emphasizing the simplicity of the interior, just like geometric lines naturally grown, which are visually arranged neatly.
The space between the master bedroom and the bathroom space is designed with a concealed door, seamlessly connected with the wardrobe, and the vision is clean and unified. The natural texture of walnut is warm, which makes the room comfortable.
A cup of fragrant coffee in the morning, a book read several times in the evening, counting the little beauties neglected by busyness, the fluctuation of physical activities and emotions spread on the home island, and heart is full of abundance and certainty, feeling the peaceful time when staying alone.
