The design starts from "cherish the present people", and points out the theme with the flower language of kapok. On the premise of environmental protection and function, the designer follows the subtraction strategy, abandons all the decorations except the necessities of life, and recombines various cubes into a pure space with rich functions by cutting, inserting, penetrating and other architectural techniques. The exclusive elevator to go home is hidden beside the book bar, blending perfectly with the space. When people come out of the book bar, their horizons become wider and wider. The open public areas are connected and integrated, from the book bar, tea tasting area, living room, dining room to Chinese and Western style kitchens, forming a complete social system. In order to prevent the rhythm of opening and closing from destroying the integrity and tranquil atmosphere of the space, the designer realized hidden functional partitions through the difference of the top ceiling and the ground material. As a result, the boundaries of life are weakened, and people in the space are brought closer. On the simple base, the designer realizes the richness of space through the collision of lines and materials. The collision between the rough marble and the simple wood veneer of the sofa background enriches the texture of the space. The pattern of the carpet echoes the shape of the tea table, as well as the division and reorganization of the marble blocks on the opposite side of the living room, with the cooperation of light and shadow, the spatial hierarchy is more full and three-dimensional. The addition of a colorful cartoon installation gives the space a vivid expression and adds a touch of elegance to daily life. The large green plants are used to introduce nature into the room, and through the large French windows, the best viewing interface is reserved to the maximum scale, which makes the indoor environment closer to the outdoor landscape, so that people in the space can freely feel the natural light and the changes of the four seasons. A simple tea table in front of the window sets up a pleasant corner. The free extension of vision ensures more emotional interaction and communication. Space, furniture, utensils and people interact with each other in the most comfortable state, even if they are alone, reading a book or in a daze, they are also warm. In terms of the overall color, Morandi Gray casts a hazy and quiet filter on the space. Natural light shines through the white gauze curtain, softly illuminating the entire space. In harmony with the breeze and greenery, quietly write the expectations of life into the environment. The dining room is a collection of dining area, western kitchen island, water bar, kitchen and other functional areas, converging into a complex functional space of reception, communication, relaxation and response to preferences. The top ceiling uses steel pipes and linear lights to present dynamic light and shadow effects, giving the space a more three-dimensional sense. The large area of blank space in the bedroom is the restraint of the space, expecting to find the unrestrained free senses for life, and give more imagination and the best living imagination in the future. The design of nested connection with cloakroom and master bathroom can meet the needs of living and configuration services, and match the comfortable life experience. The design of invisible sliding door makes the bedroom more independent and pure. The antiquated wallpaper on the background of the bed dyes the sense of time in the space, wake up the past hot and shining, a touch of warm color to expel anxiety and noise, leaving a clear and quiet life. Throughout the space, the overall design breaks through the simple depiction of life and does not cater to popular trends. Instead, it presents delicate emotions and simple art through the collision of materials, lines and colors, making the space calm and quiet. In addition, the complete set of functions builds up daily richness and guides a leisurely lifestyle.
