Today's case is the renovation of a 90-square-meter second-hand house, and it just so happens that the owner Ms. Chen and her designer are at the same table in the primary school. Due to the tight budget, Ms. Chen found a number of design firms and broke up, and the Hundred Turns and Thousands of Returns led to her childhood table mates designing her house more than 20 years later.
This renovation has realized the unity of space, function and aesthetics. In addition, the whole house is painted with "big white walls", eliminating all superfluous and unnecessary decorations, leaving only a simple and pure space. However, there are intricate layers and textures hidden in this simple design. The design used a staggered layout to create an overall open space in the common areas of the house to maximise the use of natural light and make the home look bright.
As the focal point of the renovation, the kitchen and dining room were connected to form a large horizontal hall, and natural light was introduced through the sides of the space to promote air circulation and create a breezy indoor environment.
The minimalist and high-end entrance becomes the guiding element of the entire open space, and the ceiling light strip and downlight extend to the indoor area, which constructs the view landscape and traffic flow from the entrance to the living room, making the space continuous and full of flow.
The space design between the blocks increases the fluency and privacy of the interior space, and the lighting design illuminates the layering of the space vision, which conveys the lightness and warmth of the whole space to people more than lighting.
The living room has a degree of inclusiveness and space plasticity, a white sofa, a "naked" TV wall, and several simple home furnishings, forming a delicate balance between figuration and abstraction, making the living room area transparent and wide in a vague and blank way, making more reverie of life possible here.
The open dining room layout allows friends and family to interact with the people in the living room and the kitchen at the same time, and feel their passion and participation. This shared atmosphere makes our restaurant unique, more intimate, more open and more fun. Whether you're renovating a new home or remodeling your home, an open plan layout is a great option.
The original "L" shaped layout kitchen has also been refreshed, combining a worktop, wall cabinet, steam oven and an integrated equipment module to form a "U" shaped kitchen layout. In addition, the designers also set aside more storage space for the kitchen, and opened the original façade to gain more light, so that the kitchen faces the entire public space in a more open form.
The bedroom continues the overall simple design style, and the elegant and calm soft decoration color makes the whole sleeping area more deep and relaxed. Under the background of the microcement and wood veneer at the head of the bed, the whole space appears transparent and quiet, and the red table lamp extending in the center of the bed is evenly illuminated, and the design language of the bedroom interprets the plasticity of the minimalist space from multiple angles.
The study breaks the traditional concept and forms an interesting space integrating office, rest and storage, which meets the daily storage needs and forms a unique space form.
The design of the window side platform is requested by Ms. Chen, so that you can not only read books and nap on it every day, but also become a good guest room when you have guests.
The toilet separates the three functions of toilet, shower and washroom independently, so that the use does not interfere with each other, and the time at home is more relaxed.
In today's society, minimalist style, as a decoration style, is more and more favored by the younger generation. Although simple decoration is mostly regarded as "poor decoration", it does not mean that it is shoddy. On the contrary, it is through wisdom and creativity that we can achieve a home environment that is both beautiful and functional at a lower cost. This style is not only suitable for families on a budget, but also for those who are looking for a minimalist lifestyle and eco-friendly philosophy. Through the concise "poor clothing", we can see that the quality of life does not depend entirely on material abundance, but more on how we use and cherish the resources we have.
