Today, the couple is looking forward to a new home, just as the designers conceived it – to present a place that is stable without looking dull, frozen without being rigid, intimate and pure yet vibrant, ready to welcome the warm sunlight through the windows.
Original drawing of the house design.
The original unit was a 120-square-bedroom four-bedroom unit with a load-bearing column structure that allowed for flexible wall changes. Despite its square shape, with only two occupants, the key to the design was to re-plan the functional distribution of the four rooms and enhance the overall living experience.
Homeowners expect. 1. I hope that the study room will be full of sunlight and become a space where you can drink tea and read under the sun.
2. In the living room, expect a comfortable sofa for lazy ** large-screen TV dramas, but don't want a TV wall.
3. I hope to be able to fully plan the storage space.
Floor plan.
Depending on the owner's needs, the four-bedroom was converted into a two-bedroom unit with a flexible multi-purpose area.
Key points of transformation: 1. The storage and circulation line of the entrance part have been optimized, and the room near the entrance has become a cloakroom, which is responsible for the main life storage.
2. The kitchen is changed to an open Chinese and Western kitchen, which solves the relationship between the kitchen lighting and the dining room, and the countertop is extended to improve the cooking function and release the connection with the living room.
3. The sealing window of the balcony is extended to the interior, which increases the transparency of the overall space.
4. The study room is arranged on the balcony, and a non-fixed desk is used to achieve a free layout.
5. The whole side of the living room is customized with a hidden projection screen to make the whole space more flexible.
6. The bedroom is divided into a second bedroom and a master bedroom according to the needs of the owner.
7. The last room is planned as a storage room, which not only realizes daily storage, but also reserves space for temporary living.
Entrance design. At the entrance point, the wall from the original second bedroom to the foyer was removed, and a double-sided cabinet was set between the shoe cabinet and the storage room to maximize storage and save space.
The whole wall shoe cabinet meets the storage needs of many shoes of the couple, and reserves the place for the shoe changing stool. The white cabinet increases the diffuse reflection of light in the space, avoids the feeling of crowding, and makes the visual feeling more fresh and comfortable.
The second bedroom next to the original foyer has been converted into a cloakroom, which increases storage space, and due to its proximity to the entrance door and the master bedroom, it is convenient to store both areas on the circulation line.
In order to maintain the comfort of lighting and ventilation, there is no top cabinet, but a half-height cabinet, which can be placed on the top of the cabinet to decorate the home space.
Living room design. The owner of the house is not interested in the traditional TV wall, the designer cleverly created a whole wall of storage cabinets, the upper part of the cabinet with white doors, the lower part with a wood-colored open grid, the classic white and wood combination is both fresh and durable, to avoid the monotony of the whole cabinet.
A hidden curtain is set up on the top, which is usually rolled up to keep the living room tidy. The open compartment below is currently used for book storage, and with a rattan single chair, it becomes a comfortable reading nook.
In the future, this area can also be used as a toy storage area for your baby, and the low height is perfect for children.
Balcony. Between the living room and the balcony there is a load-bearing column that cannot be removed, and the designers cleverly used it as a partition and combined it with the change in the color of the latex paint to distinguish it.
The original balcony outside the living room was enclosed, and the inner balcony was incorporated into the living room area, making the overall space more open, with better lighting and ventilation. The floor tiles of the living room are directly paved, so that the balcony and the living room are integrated, realizing the sunny study room that the owner dreams of.
A partition shelf is made on one side of the balcony, which can be used to store books that you usually read. The cement gray walls have a textured feeling, and the wooden desks and chairs form a quiet and rustic atmosphere.
Small table lamps, greenery and white gauze floor curtains add to the warm reading atmosphere. The finished desk is easily and flexibly moved, creating a different space according to your needs, whether it can be used as a desk or a balcony to soak up the sun and enjoy a meal.
Kitchen design. The original kitchen space was small and the lighting was weak, which could not meet the needs of the owner, so the designer removed the partition wall and combined with the location of the original dining room to create a bright open kitchen.
Considering the couple's usual meals, a modestly sized wooden dining table is used next to the cabinets and can be extended as a worktop, while forming a boundary between the living room and the hallway.
The clever combination of dining chairs, benches and rattan round stools adds to the layered interest of the dining area, and the relaxed and natural form brings people closer together. When there are relatives and friends visiting, it can accommodate many people to dine together, and they can be placed under the table when not in use, so as not to affect the surrounding traffic.
A chandelier above the table is indispensable, and the warm yellow light emitted adds color to the dishes and creates a warm atmosphere for everyday meals.
Considering that the circulation line is more compact, the kitchen adopts wood veneer cabinets, and the high and low countertops are ergonomically designed, so that washing and cutting vegetables do not need to bend over, and stir-frying is also easier.
Master bedroom design. According to the needs of the owner, the room near the entrance is designed as the master bedroom, and the small room next to the entrance door is changed to a cloakroom to make the bedroom more functional.
The master bedroom continues the simple and practical tone, eliminating the bedside and combining the custom-made bedside table with the bed to make the most of the space.
The overall design is based on simplicity and atmosphere, with bare beams and columns, matched with natural wood, simple and pure, creating a sense of breathing light and wind.
This is an off-site case where design and renovation are completed through the Internet, and all aspects of the details require the full trust and support of both parties.
Each simple design conveys the abundance of spirit, and the whole home reveals a sense of light and wind breathing, making people feel the spaciousness of the space.
