A home should embody the aesthetics, attitude, spirit and ideals of the owners, rather than merely being a living space. Our starting point of the design is to infuse the owner's "uniqueness" into the space and capture an exclusive form from the chaos. This project involves the renovation of a residence, where the owners are a young couple born in the 1990s. The design begins with the problems of the old house and the individual consciousness of the residents, focuses on enhancing the intimacy among the users, and uses life as the basis for flexible design, creating a residence that touches the heart and returns to the essence.

Home is our corner in the world, it is our original universe. Over design may make the home lose its truest side. The designer should start from the most essential life, constructs many daily fragments in a way that is closer to the residents' lives, and finally connects them into a life series. Starting with the return home, the foyer is used as a starting point for behavioral mobilization and emotional transformation. The large area of natural wood brings affinity and inclusiveness to the space with a warm texture; the softly rounded corners of the sun and the slightly tensed curved streamlines that stretch across the space beautifully balance the relatively cold and cold spatial tone sketched by the horizontal and vertical lines, creating a relaxing scene in the entrance.

Abandoning complicated colors and decorations, with the help of simple and sincere field base, the volume, proportion and rhythm are controlled, presenting the architectural aesthetics of the space and the relationship between the blocks, constructing a peaceful and comfortable spatial texture, and showing the attitude and spirit of the residents who are determined and introverted and don't go with the flow. The rich storage system is hidden behind a minimalist facade, and the balance of function and visual beauty units aesthetics and pragmatism.

The original space has problems such as low utilization rate of the public area, relative isolation of the dining and kitchen areas, poor spatial interaction, and poor indoor lighting, etc. The traditional spatial pattern makes the public area cramped and lacking vitality, and the functional scenarios cannot satisfy the current lifestyle. We demolished part of the original walls of the building, redesigned the functional layout, shaped the living space with practicality, richness, mobility and interactivity, and explored ways to nourish emotions and souls in the space. The natural wood texture and the pure creamy wall form a simple and powerful relationship between the figure and the background. The blank design method makes the space breath. The lazy fabrics, the original wood, and the stylish furniture give the space a gentle and relaxing atmosphere.

The integrated design of living room, dining room, kitchen and study, the visual and dynamic lines of space are integrated with each other, and the maximized open design makes the space open, flowing and organic; the free form carries a variety of life scenarios, and users can interact with each other even though they are in their own space, and each unit is not a lonely existence, and the public area has become a emotional connection. Powerful storage function, calm and quiet spatial vocabulary, overlapping but clear layers, restrained and quiet aesthetic atmosphere, balance between richness and restraint.

The idea that the home is a "non-modal" space has always been ingrained in all of our creations. Breaking free from the established paradigms, not sticking to fixed patterns, deeply exploring the unique of the space, and then carefully carving it to become the personality of the space. The original long and narrow closed kitchen is reorganized by removing the wall, adding a open kitchen and connecting it to the public area. The marble island and the wooden dining table are independent and coexist as one, forming a strong visual contrast and presenting a rational and restrained geometric aesthetic.

The pipeline can not be removed from the old house, combined with the light, become a unique construction, simulating the patio modeling, between the square and round to form a unique art installation. The closed and open kitchens are separated by a brushed stainless steel sliding door, which effectively isolates the grease and smoke and ensures the order of daily life. In the old enclosed balcony, since the wall pier could not be removed, but the height as a desk is not sufficient, the ground is raised, and the semi-wall was used to divide it into an open study.Old furniture such as chairs and lamps are partially preserved, injecting traces of past memories into the space, and the trivial old objects puzzle out the story of life, establishing a link between "new" and "old".

As a transitional space, the corridor invisibly divides the space with different materials and colors;  the concealed door design presents a clean visual interface and achieves the integrity of the monolithic "corridor" space. The design of the bedroom focuses on spatial wholeness and aesthetic continuity, and all details have been carefully considered and justified.  The curved paneling creates a sense of envelopment, softening the space and enriching the layers.

With the help of off-wall closet, we effectively solve the problem of the bathroom facing the bed, and at the same time form a walk-in checkroom. Considering that it is currently a two-person household, we plan the guest bedroom as a flexible space that can meet multiple functions such as sleeping, storage, and temporary cat house, so that the space can be efficiently utilized at different times of the day. The bathroom in the public area is based on the premise of pragmatism, and the four independent areas are functionally aggregated and separated from wet and dry, bringing a neat and convenient use experience. Natural marble shows the natural texture aesthetics, creating a high-level texture; delicate wood, weakening the monotony of the visual level; irregular mirrors to break the dullness, adding an artistic flavor to the space.
