The project is located in Xiamen. The owner is a young business man. This is his first house in his life with full of passions in this. He is a rags-to-riches tycoon with proven business skills. Design concept is minimalism style with functioning and harmony. This project was designed for a couple and their son and daughter. At the beginning of the design, the host specially expressed requirements for facilities. Though the project is in a city in south China, where the extreme cold doesn’t last long in winter, the arrangement of underfloor heating is still needed, to meet his demand for the control of indoor temperature in winter. 

In a metropolis of China, the surrounding air quality of the project is not clean enough, so an overall fresh air system was installed to ensure there is fresh air indoors. As the owners of the project are young people and have a special requirement for an intelligent control system, the project adopts a KNX/EIB intelligent control system following European standards, which incorporates air conditioners, underfloor heating, lighting, background music, electric curtain control, a fresh air system and access control, for the convenience of living. They can control all indoor electric devices easily even if not at home. 

In terms of the design style, the owners who are young presented their expectation of an overall concise style and more requirements for details of design, so the project is dominated by a minimalist style and supplemented with a lot of modernist materials, such as titanium plated metal for supplementary details, to fulfill the goal of a minimalist but not a simple design. 

As for the procurement of furniture, German and imported Italian brands were selected for the whole project. The owners recognize the design details and style of Italian furniture, which also meets their requirements for the design style, so 11 Italian furniture brands are adopted for the project. Each piece of furniture was handpicked by the owners. According to their definition of home, furniture should not only provide comfort but also delight minds and eyes.
