In a quiet residential area of Jiangjin, there is a house standing quietly, its appearance is not eye-catching, but its internal design contains endless poetry and ingenuity. This residence, named "Jiangjin Xijiangyue", carries the dream of a people's teacher, it is not only a 90-square-meter modern style space, but also the beginning of a story.
Storytelling always has to be a bit suspenseful and makes people look forward to the ending. And the protagonist of this story is the teacher-owner, who has a somewhat different need: a home that is different from the traditional concept, a home without a living room. Yes, not a home in the conventional sense, but a personalized abode, a space full of individual needs.
The owner does not need a traditional living room to receive guests, he does not need a TV, what he needs is a large desk and a sofa that is not so big, and the children's room also needs to have a desk, but there is no need for a separate study. How to meet these special needs has become a major challenge for designers.
Before the renovation, there were many problems in the living room, such as the lack of a separate foyer, the location of the shoe cabinet was far away and small, and the practicality was greatly reduced, and the dining room and kitchen area were small, and the direct conflict between the entrance line and the bedroom greatly reduced the living experience. These problems need to be solved urgently, and it is the two design masters who solve these problems: Huang Yong and Moxi.
They started a revolution in space. First of all, the location of the restaurant has been subtly moved, which not only solves the problem of the foyer, but also sets up a shoe cabinet in the entryway, which protects both privacy and functionality. With their skillful hands, the kitchen was opened up and brightened, with wide worktops and increased storage space.
The open design not only makes the space more transparent, but also forms a good connection with the living room area. The most eye-catching, of course, is the embodiment of the owner's individual needs - the design without a living room. The designers cleverly combined the concept of a book bar and a lounge, which not only met the owner's needs for guests, but also provided him with an ideal space for reading and working.
Here, toasted almonds are paired with gingerbread and moonlight, as well as gray-blue accents to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Although there is no TV, no TV wall, no coffee table, but with a small sofa, a large desk and rows of bookshelves, this area may have lost some of the functions of the traditional living room, but it has given a new meaning and become a quiet and personalized space.
In the transformation of the foyer, the designers not only solved the problem of sight, but also increased the storage space, which is both practical and beautiful. The renovation of the restaurant makes the most of the space and becomes a model of transitional space, with a wood-like design that makes the space warm and soft.
Every renovation and every design detail reveals the designers' deep understanding of the owner's lifestyle and aesthetic taste. Jiangjin Xijiangyue is not only the name of a home, it symbolizes the pursuit of personalized living dreams, it is the crystallization of Huang Yong and Moxi's design wisdom and life understanding. This story has just begun.
Because Jiangjin Xijiangyue is not just a quiet harbor, it is a testimony of the thinking, dreams and life of the teachers. Every day, every night, when the moonlight is sprinkled on the river, when the pages are gently turned, this home lives in the story. As you wander through the streets of the city, you may encounter a door at every corner, and behind each door lies a unique world.
Today, I want to take you into a special door to explore a minimalist living space that has been carved with ingenuity, and every corner of it tells the designer's intentions and the owner's taste. The first place we arrive at is the master bedroom, which is the heart of the home, the most desirable and gentle embrace after a hard day's work. As soon as you enter the door, you will be captivated by the fresh breath.
Roasted almond-colored floors echo the suspended ceilings, and large areas of moonlit walls give a sense of serenity and tranquility. You wonder, what is the secret here that makes the whole space seem so gentle, and the answer is hidden in a touch of pale green, which is a clever embellishment of the designer, like a new leaf brushing in spring, bringing life and vitality.
It is unassuming, but it silently renders the gentleness and freshness of the whole room in the details. However, this is not the end of the road. The real mysteries are hidden in those corners that you can barely notice – and through meticulous design, this traditional resting space is given more function and meaning. Can you imagine? Next, we move on to the second bedroom.
In this seemingly ordinary room, the designer made a bold decision: the original bay window was knocked out and the overall usable area was increased. In fact, the charm of design lies in this, there is no complicated shape, only color is used to build the layers of space.
Looking up, you will find that the light and shadow of the ceiling form a beautiful light and shadow shape, is this eye-catching? There is no superfluous decoration, but people can't help but stop here for a while to experience the tranquility and purity. One can't help but wonder if this design is reflected in other rooms as well?
Here, the designer embodies the concept of minimalism. The original bay window was removed and a desk was placed in the bedside space. The overall minimalist floor plan makes the room appear spacious, reducing the fragmentation caused by too many shapes or bumps.
This design not only provides a space for children to learn and Xi and play, but also the best environment to cultivate their Xi of neat and orderly life. Finally, we arrived at the bathroom. You may wonder what else could there be in a bathroom, but in fact, every inch of space here has been carefully calculated, both in terms of size and layout.
Everything is silently a reflection of professionalism and ingenuity, aiming to create a living space that is both beautiful and functional. In this minimalist world of home, every detail is carefully polished and every inch of space is used wisely.
This is not only a place to live, but also an attitude to life - the pursuit of a simple, pure beauty in the complex urban life. Perhaps in your opinion, minimalism is just a design style, but in my opinion, it is more of a philosophy of life.
It is not simply to reduce items, but to find peace and freedom of mind in a limited space. It teaches us that life can be simpler, but at the same time richer and more meaningful. Wrap up our exploration in this thoughtfully designed living space, and hopefully this lifestyle will inspire you with some inspiration.
Maybe from today, you'll start thinking about how you can practice that minimalist beauty in your own home. And the end of this story is actually the beginning of another story - your minimalist life story.
