Do not dismantle or change the layout
One room and one bathroom become two rooms and two bathrooms
Located in the center of Shanghai, the house is a three-storey brick structure built in 1936, belonging to the garden townhouses of the last century. The owner's home is on the first floor, the indoor area is about 70 square meters, there is a 30 square meters of independent garden, the original floor height of 3.5 meters.
Floor plan before renovation
Although the area of the old bungalow is not small, the original design lacks independent kitchen and bathroom, only one bedroom and one bathroom. The owner of the house is a mother and daughter of the post-70s + 90s, and the living habits of the two generations are different. They also have clear residency needs:
○ There is an old bungalow complex, hoping to preserve the temperament of the old bungalow;
○ No sofa is required, but a desk where two people can read and write together;
○ Looking forward to the garden, I like the scene of sitting in the promenade basking in the sun in "Sea Street Diary";
○ Sufficient storage, transparent space, respect for nature.
Share the wall with neighbors
In addition, the front garden of the renovation has a common wall and a window with the neighbors, and the neighborhood relationship of the old bungalow is very headache. Therefore, for designers, the pressure of early design is still relatively large.
Original north facing bedroom
A narrow space with a height of 4.4 m
Original structural beams that have been deformed
When the designer surveyed the site, he found that there were several very precious ancient trees in the garden, so he went to the scene at different time periods to observe the changes in the shadows of the trees. In the process of transformation, the designer takes the change of tree shadow as the starting point and fully considers the relationship between people's behavior in the indoor space and the tree shadow.
Floor plan after renovation
Combined with the different life scenes of the two generations, 2 floors were built in a narrow space, and a new pattern of 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 1 garden was planned, and floor heating was made to ensure that the indoor temperature was comfortable.
Open kitchen
The space is transparent and easy to communicate and interact
First look after returning home. A pure white plaster painting is placed on the rattan solid wood cabinet, the table can be put down at will, the green plants can be changed with the four seasons, and the scented candle itself is also an ornament, creating a natural and warm sense of belonging.
The whole renovation process follows the key word "nature", so the decoration of the house also uses wooden materials. Simple furniture and installation artwork make people feel calm as soon as they enter the door, and the irregular two barn wooden doors also become decorative elements.
The walls of the bathroom are regularly lined with several glass bricks, and when someone enters the light, it becomes a "glowing alcove", which is both an installation art and a signal light, so that the mother and daughter can know each other's status after returning home at different times.
The kitchen, dining room and porch are set in one of the main spaces and are in a completely open form. The integration of the kitchen makes the indoor space more open, and it is also in line with the living habits of the mother and daughter.
On the left-hand side of the entrance, a group of 1.5m long cabinets extended to the dining table, storing all the shoes of the mother and daughter, leaving empty in the middle to place the small items that need to be taken out of the door.
Wooden doors are set up at the entrance to the living room and bathroom, and closing the door when cooking can prevent the smell of oil smoke.
Usually, the door is open and connected to the living room, which is convenient for mother and daughter to communicate. The designer deliberately placed the living room desk and the dining table on the same level of sight, and the mother and daughter could communicate and interact at any time.
The walls and floors are made of micro-cement, and the seamless effect comes with a sense of premium, which is also very convenient to take care of (daily maintenance is similar to the floor). There are also many partitions on the kitchen wall, which can be used to place some small household appliances such as microwave ovens and rice cookers.
The table is set up in the form of a bar counter, which can be used for dining and can also be used to prepare dishes, and the cabinet below hides a washing and drying machine.
Refrigerator: gorenje
Retain the sense of age
Multifunctional bedroom, living room, study
The living room is also the master bedroom and also doubles as a study. In the designer's view, the future family design will no longer specifically define a space, only public and private, this case is a very interesting attempt.
The living room looks into the garden with three floor-to-ceiling doors on the narrow side to maximize the beauty of the garden. The one on the far right was frosted because it shared the window with the neighbor's house.
Many families have embraced living rooms without televisions, and the mother and daughter don't even need a couch.
Desk: 🍑coconordic
The living room has set up a 5-meter-long open bookshelf along the entire wall, which fully meets the needs of the two mothers and daughters for a large number of books. The same length low cabinet under the bookshelf is also filled with books, and the countertop is used for display and storage.
Mother and daughter have the habit of writing and reading every day, and the large desk with two rattan chairs is more practical and comfortable than the sofa.
The designer deliberately customized the same color as the wall to maintain the unity of the design. The whole living room has maintained a simple decoration, and the most unique place is the introduction of the light and shadow of the ancient trees in the garden.
The change of light at every moment is worth photographing as a souvenir.
My mother liked to live in the south-facing bedroom, so she combined the study with the bedroom, with a hemp curtain as a partition, which could be opened and closed.
The top surface retains part of the old beam, first made of sound insulation and then restored, repaired as old, and also become a natural decoration.
The tatami design guarantees storage, and can also be used as a tea room to chat with friends.
Wall hanging rail + chest of drawers + tatami mat can meet the storage needs of different clothes. The room has no superfluous decoration, ample storage space, and through the design of the hidden collection, the dew of the dew.
A pure, tranquil spiritual world
Dry landscape garden
The design of the garden is very "pure", inspired by the Japanese dry landscape culture loved by the owners, combined with the classic fence wall elements of old Shanghai, to complete this very elegant garden.
The designer set up an outdoor tea drinking area in a corner of the garden, and also made a flowing water landscape, hoping that the owner of the house can also hear the sound of running water when enjoying the scenery, and the whole body can be satisfied.
Enjoying a pure garden space in a bustling city, listening to the sound of babbling water, and watching the still and unchanging "dry landscape", the owner of the house can quickly relax and relax wholeheartedly.
The semi-outdoor space from the living room to the garden realizes the imagination of the owner sitting in the corridor basking in the sun, and sitting here reading, listening to the rain and watching the scenery on rainy days is a different state of mind.
Double line daughter room
Double-decker space, artistic paint, beautiful light and shadow
At the first sight of the daughter's room, it is still the theme of tree shadows, and the doors and windows bring wonderful light and shadow. The walls are painted with light green artistic paint, which can relax the spirit. The 5 niches on the wall are used to display the handmade collection, which also echoes the restaurant.
A floating desk is designed by the window for her daughter to read, work, and make up, and sit here to enjoy the changes of the four seasons in the garden.
The original narrow ceiling space was designed as a bedroom suite, and also contained three areas: the second bathroom, the main bathroom and the storage room.
According to the characteristics of the space, the bedroom adopts a double-storey design, retaining the skylight of the original building, the first floor is used as a bookshelf and wardrobe, and the second floor is used as a bedroom. Sensor skirting lights hidden on the wall are easy to use at night.
On the second floor, a storage room was built above the bathroom of the daughter's room, which is very practical for such a unit.
The first floor is the daughter's room suite, the space is narrow, the use of the wall to do niche storage, wall art paint waterproof performance is very good.
At the same time, a double moving line was designed, and a long rainbow glass sliding door was used to separate the guard and the main bathroom, and the daughter could directly return to her room or common area after the main bathroom showered, which was very convenient.
The main bathroom uses Shanghai's classic terrazzo elements with gray-green glazed tiles to meet the functional needs while also retaining the characteristics of the Shanghai Ocean House.
The rain and dry areas are separated by a glass, the suspended bathroom cabinet and the undercounter basin are both practical and light, and a partition below is used as a storage area, which is very convenient.
Warm wooden furniture, preserved old beams, the introduction of indoor tree shadows, the whole space is open and simple without unnecessary decoration, and the outdoor scenery complements the indoor atmosphere. Without demolition, the temperament and sense of age of the old bungalow can be precipitated and retained, and the spatial planning is completely in line with modern living habits, which is probably the power of design.
