The Design

About Around Residential House

Around is a residential interior design for a two hundred square meter home in Guangzhou. The plan follows a flowing layout in which closed rooms become an interconnected whole with a circular route. Glass in the entrance area lets light reach the kitchen. Curtains replace the wall between the living room and the bedroom, softening the transition between areas. Hollowed blocks form the storage cabinet walls in the cloakroom and desk area, adding visual interaction and avoiding large blank surfaces. The main materials are cement paint, wood veneer and tiles.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Based on the "unconventional" living space needs of the two owners, designers want to create a sense of privacy and closure that can break the traditional private house space for the owners. Therefore, in space design, they avoid static volume combination, but pursue continuous moving space to create a flowing, through and inseparable overall space effect.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 200 square meters.
Tags: Interior, Residential House, Flowing Space, Modern, Simple, Natural, Art
Production Technology: The main materials in this project are cement paint, wood veneer and tiles.
Design Challenge: The designers wanted to create more circulating, non closed and open spaces, but there are more clothes for female homeowners. This concept conflicts with the owner's "cloakroom".Moreover, they need a fully open cloakroom to display.
Research: According to the climate characteristics of Guangdong, clothes exposed to unsealed space for a long time are prone to moisture and dirty, affecting the quality of clothes. The designers have installed a greenhouse balanced central air conditioning and fresh air system in the whole house to avoid more outdoor dust entering the room and ensure that the indoor temperature and humidity can be balanced.
Inspiration: The couple in this case are DINK who prefer calm and restrained grey color, they hope that the 200 square meters house can be designed just for the two of them. In daily life, they mainly work, do yoga, read books at home, hardly cook and do not receive any guests, which means a traditional sofa-type living room is not needed.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2019 in GuangZhou and finished in April 2021 in GuangZhou.
Operation Flow: The designers hope that space and space can be opened, so that the sense of closure of traditional private houses can be dispelled, and the definition of different spaces is blurred and the transition is natural.
