Wabi-sabi is full of appreciation and cherishing of primitive simplicity. It is not empty and lifeless, but a unique sense of lightness and age. It acquires a beauty that transcends time with its simplicity and unadorned realm. The design shapes the space with wabi-sabi oriental aesthetics, expressing respect for time and nature as well as appreciation for things that fade away from the bustle, stripping away appearances and revealing the essence. The design emphasizes the return of the space to its original state and its Zen-like atmosphere. This case emphasizes the relationship between the space and its occupants, creating a transformation of time, restoring the essence of life, and creating a spiritual homeland with a sense of belonging.

Integrate the space of living and dining room, dilute the sense of interface, so that the field of view can run horizontally through the space. Instead of walls, the floor of the dining area is raised to make the flow smoother and the space more open and transparent. The expectations of the residents for their home are not only the perfection of function, but also the search for uniqueness and aesthetics in the details. She hoped that the ceiling design in the space would be out of the ordinary and be able to carry more expressions of spatial aesthetics. With a deep insight into this desire, the designer took the inspiration as a guide and applied the design strokes to the ceiling of the dining room, creating a gentle but imposing arc ceiling, making it a visual highlight of the dining room.

The inhabitant has a great passion and taste for cooking, and is keen to study all kinds of ingredients and cooking skills, the kitchen contains her attention to life, passion and exploration. Therefore, the designer put great effort and thought into the planning of this space, striving to make the kitchen not only a collection of functions, but also an ideal place to integrate emotions and aesthetics. The kitchen is divided into two areas, the center kitchen and the western kitchen, with smooth lines and clear zoning, so that the complexity and delicacy of each can unfold peacefully. The layout of the Chinese kitchen area emphasizes the fire and skills, and is tailored to the habits of Chinese cooking, with the stove, sink, and cooking table connected, which is both easy to operate and easy to clean. The Western kitchen is more open and relaxed, with built-in ovens, steamers, coffee makers and an island counter, providing a dedicated space for baking, mixing drinks and simple daily meals.

The open design connects the two areas of the living room, allowing light to flow freely in the space, creating a more spacious and bright living experience. The distance between the dining table and the sofa is just right, which ensures the independence of the functional areas without losing the sense of unity. The residents prefer light colors and natural textures, and like a warm, comfortable and spontaneous atmosphere. Therefore, the designer integrates natural materials such as micro-cement, weathered wood, rattan and leather into the space, creating a calm, natural and breathable space.

The master bedroom is based on rustic wood, and the natural wood grain tells of the tenderness and tranquility of time precipitation. Walls are hand-scraped art paint craft, irregular texture with the light and movement, showing the right sense of coarse and artistic, giving the space a richer level and texture. Soft furnishings part, the choice of linen materials, natural fiber texture through a simple and delicate sense of touch. The low saturation color harmonizes the temperature of the whole space, and the wooden elements blend with each other, so that people can feel the soft and relaxed atmosphere as soon as they step into it. The handmade artifacts on the bedside, simple and elegant, bring a hint of oriental interest, but also inadvertently create a kind of lazy and casual atmosphere of life, the whole master bedroom comes with healing properties.

The design of the children's room carries the gentle imagination of growth and the beautiful protection of childhood. Considering the needs of the two children in the house owner's family, the designer abandoned the traditional arrangement of one big and one small, primary and secondary, and took the concept of “absolute reciprocity” as the starting point, to achieve real “rain and dew” in the details and pattern of the space. The two rooms are symmetrically distributed like mirrors, with the same lighting, lines of movement, functional layouts and furniture styles, giving the children an emotional belonging of equality and respect, and minimizing the psychological gap brought about by spatial differences, so that they can grow up together and accompany each other in a warm and delicate space.

A clever pocket door design in the center of the two rooms is the most touching illustration of this childhood world. When the door is open, the two spaces open up into a larger shared space where the children can freely communicate and interact with each other; and when they need to be alone and quiet, the door closes and the space can be separated, respecting the individual's private sphere and giving each of them their own independent time for reading and resting. This spatial mechanism, which can be opened and closed, not only meets the diversified needs of growing up, but also fulfills the intimate and independent emotional needs between sisters.
