"Look for that and tie down, empty room born white, auspicious stop." ---- Zhuangzi · Earthly World

Design concept

“Good design is the precise construction of a specific relationship, so as to achieve the environment and People's energy of continuous resonance”, the cohesion of the environment and People's magnetic field combined force, break the boundaries of art and life, reshape the space shape, construct design context and dialogue of time, capture the resonance of beauty and space。

The status of the original home type

The 130-square-foot building is located in the prosperous east fourth ring road of Chaoyang District, Beijing, however, its spatial layout and functional configuration can not meet the owner's pursuit of quality of life. The design of the door-to-door room lacks the necessary privacy and rhythm of the space. The traditional room allocation mode makes the whole residence appear awkward and boring, and lacks the sense of breathing and extension visually. The closed pattern not only separates the interaction between family members, but also limits the emotional connection between people and environment in the space.

Spatial remodelling

The overall layout of the space with functional, practical, fluid, interactive, and aesthetic development, through the plane of the re-planning, will occupy a larger area of the passenger service compression, increase the entrance of the reception system, and cleverly introduces the screen element, divides the new area and the boundary. The screen not only forms a visual barrier, but also ensures the privacy of entering the home and adds a private and orderly sense of ceremony to the whole space.

The original vertical long bedroom space was split and reorganized, breaking the traditional single pattern, will be designed like flowing clouds and water, so that residents can be free to migrate among them. In the redefined space layout, the master bedroom, the cloakroom, the master bathroom and the independent external toilet area are independent and connected with each other. The different function areas make the life scene richer, it also gives each space its own unique meaning.

The boundary between kitchen and dining room, living room is cleverly blurry, through open type design, three spaces melt into a body naturally, formed a kind of open and warm living atmosphere. In view of the owner's low frequency of use of the kitchen, the designer boldly used a series of translational linkage folding side door, the kitchen operation area is perfectly hidden in the facade, making the space more concise and clean. A large number of daily necessities are cleverly placed in the hidden cabinet, storage function and aesthetic design perfect fit, space remodeling, the whole space finally presents a rich sense of north-south, east-west three-entry level. The relationship between depth and progression of space is established in an orderly way, each area achieves visual and functional balance and harmony, as if in the journey of space, residents can constantly discover the beauty and surprises of life.

Materials and details

In the choice of materials, designers pursue the perfect integration of nature and art. The warmth of oak, the delicacy of jade, the thickness of cave stone and the softness of skin-feeling finish are cleverly interwoven together to create a warm and elegant atmosphere. Wall space and the sense of order of the lines ping each other should be, black and white interdependence, constitute a harmonious whole. The simplicity of linen, the delicacy of leather, the warmth of logs and the steadiness of stone endow space with a natural power and quiet beauty.

The furniture design is restrained, the line is concise, the proportion is exquisite, both presents the modern fashion feeling, and retains the French style elegance. There is no single style in the matching of soft clothing, from the carefully selected single chairs in the medieval shop to the paintings by the custom-made artists, to the owners' carefully collected screens, pottery, utensils and candlesticks, every decoration contains the master's love of life and art.
