Design is a belief.
In a simple world, finding the power of architecture is the dream of designer Li Peng. Through the yearning and pursuit of space aesthetics in his heart, designer Li Peng gradually faces the benchmark of challenging himself. He looks at design with a sense of space and structure, discovers the relationship between home and architecture from the inspiration of design, and also establishes a more delicate and flexible design style that describes life.

#「Start with design」
Start with dreams and be loyal to responsibility
Starting from a dream and being loyal to his responsibility, Li Peng had a dream of building a house in his bones from an early age.
When he was a child, his father would do some carpentry work, and in the process of helping his father lay the groundwork, he was the first to contact a little bit about space, size, and furniture; sometimes he would use mud to pinch the house and yard to pass the childhood time.
Because I have been interested in beautiful things since I was a child, I occasionally see some beautiful buildings or beautiful works on TV, and I feel very interested. "If only one day I could build a castle with a beautiful garden." Time flies, the years are like shuttles, and as I grow older, a dream of building a house begins to sprout in Li Peng's heart.
Later, when I studied science and engineering and filled in the volunteer form, designer Li Peng finally got his wish and was admitted to Chongqing University majoring in architecture. He began to study fine arts systematically, but also because he was a science major, he had a great advantage in the grasp of space size, and he studied quickly, and after graduation, he successfully entered the Third Bureau of China Construction and chose to continue his studies on the project in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. In this way, Li Peng passionately devoted himself to the design industry he loved.
The so-called one minute on stage, ten years offstage, designer Li Peng also knows that behind each successful case, there must be a lot of silent payment. With the accumulation of practice and learning, he has a new understanding of the concept of design. He defines himself as a commercial designer who is responsible for Party A, and he will use professional knowledge and practical experience to influence the blind pursuit of changing the owners, and adhere to good design to create value for customers.
He said: In addition to aesthetic value, a good commercial design has many other values, such as commercial value, investment value, spiritual value and even industry value. Only by controlling each link well and making the income of Party A have value is the ultimate goal of commercial design.
As a designer, he always has a responsibility on his shoulders.
#「Unlimited」
There is no limit, in order to be wonderful
As technological innovations become more frequent and different currents of thought and ideas collide with each other, you need to try more to stand out from the crowd. Li Peng believes that following the rules and regulations and fixing your thinking in a cookie-cutter style, at least you can't become one of the designers that Party A wants the most.

Designer Li Peng used ten years of industry experience to perfectly illustrate this point. "A good designer has to be an encyclopedia type, because the projects you meet, the people you come into contact with, all walks of life, in addition to the things that are good at designing the profession itself, you have to know something about every other major." In the boundaries of design, Li Peng always advances in understanding and exploration, does not limit himself, and never defines himself.

Designer Li Peng said: "Design is a kind of art that is natural, and it is wisdom that does not set limits or limits. Its charm is that only when you have a deep understanding of Party A, more local humanistic customs, cultural heritage, etc., then in the process of design, your ideas and creativity can have more possibilities, and you can make the most appropriate design. ”
Design should not set limits, and good works should be fresh and vital.
#「Back to essence」
Back to the essence, designed to live
Designer Li Peng believes that as a designer, you must first love life, and only then can you have the ability to love your family, owners, and party A, to consider problems for them, and pay your enthusiasm.
In life, designer Li Peng is a person with a very regular work and rest, normal work and rest, doing design in the office, going to the construction site to guide the construction landing, accompanying the family on weekends, and enjoying life when there is time....... He said: "If I don't do design one day, I will travel and treat design as a hobby, mainly because I want to spend more time with my family and enjoy life." ”

Designer Li Peng integrates design into human nature, returns to the essence of life, starts from the "heart", interprets the attitude of life with design, and pursues the simplicity behind design.

He said: Design is more like writing, reserving stories from space that people come here. Or obsessively pursuing dreams, or returning to life to pursue the true emotions, slowly, design for Li Peng, like a poem full of life, flexible and natural.
