Design Description

How can space comfort the human heart?
Not just in the carving of the shape, the fostering of the sentiment, or attending to craft details, but also concerting all tangible and intangible factors: congeniality. This case involved the renovation of an old house with an actual indoor area of about 34 ping (1 ping ≈3.306 m2). As the original framework no longer met the customer’s new needs, the Guru Interior Design team removed all the old decorations and compartments, reexamined the floor plan, and reset the moving routes, which achieved the first step in the complete remodeling of the space. From the public space to the private areas, the excessive magnificence that had easily caused satiation was filtered, and replaced with materials that embody an imperturbable disposition, such as wood, stone, and iron as the main axes. In particular, the exquisite workmanship in the junction components of different materials is far beyond tranquility, but transcends time and becomes a classic

No standard partition was adopted for the entryway, allowing for a broad and deep view when entering the house. The concept of a “spiritual pillar” was incorporated in the turning point beside the door, with golden brown titanium-plated metal folds irregularly wrapping the structural turning point. The surface of the metal looks like it has been whittled by a sharp gemstone, and the matching soft backlight seems to be the highlight of the decoration, pleasing the eyes and the mind. This also echoes the metalwork profession, which the homeowner is engaged in, and coincides with sensation, elegance, and beauty.

The flat and clean ceiling in the public area effectively raises the view from the angle of elevation. The linear deconstruction of the TV wall and sofa back wall in the living room is expressed differently. First, the TV wall, made of a large amount of steel-brushed wood, is shared between the living room and the study room. An X-shaped three-dimensional profile design has been introduced into the front elevation. The abstract strokes create surprises from different angles under the backlit shadows. A piece of decorative iron frame embedded with thin stone slates has been hung on each side, which not only adds layers to the composition of the TV wall but also creatively presents the concept of moving the compartment forward. The gray glass under the iron frame allows for a view of the gleaming study room area behind the wall. The sofa back wall, made of straight slitting, twisting, and random splicing of matte marble, shows a natural texture that is far more charming than can be found with deliberately created patterns. Through the setting off by the backlight and the intentional avoidance of reaching the ceiling, a touching purity and grace naturally arises. An electric fireplace is embedded on the left side to give the space just the right personality and temperature.

A three-in-one layout has been adopted from the dining room to the kitchen, starting with a marble dining table, and then a special island counter with a sink and drinking facilities, and finally connecting with the sliding door, thus forming a closed moving kitchen pathway. The three serve as each other’s front and back scenes, with excellent interactive function. From the appearance of the island counter, the titanium-plated door frame, and other details, we can see the designer’s unremitting efforts.
