Interviews with Summer Chang Hin Cheong

The main principle is environmental protection. The idea is to combine the villa with nature. Inspiration comes from Chinese history and culture.

When designing this villa, I was very concerned about the happy situation of the owner getting along with his family. I want this villa to be their pride and memory.

I'll make it into a documentary.

Two months.

I like the concept of courtyard house very much. When I got this assignment, I kept telling owner about my imaginary villa.

I'm intent to produce the work myself.

The feeling of Zen Buddhism.

Two of the old trees in the courtyard.

I think the old trees in the courtyard is like the heart of the villa and symbolizes the greatness of the owner.

Computer, camera and drawing board。

The layout of the villa.

Just collaborate with my assistant.

As the villa was on the hillside, we tried many times before we succeeded in transplanting the old trees into the courtyard.

Encouragement from fellow designers.

I learned a lot about gardening and plant species.

No thanks.

After I graduated from college, I didn't work related to design because of the opportunity. But engaged in the catering industry, in an opportunity to renovate the restaurant, I got a good response, from then on I began my design career.

When I was in high school, I volunteered to be a designer. Because I think it's a fruitful job to be able to turn an idea into a reality.

Yes, I was choose to become a designer.

I am engaged in interior design and architectural design. I would also like to try the interior design of yacht or bus.

Don't be complacent. Keep learning.

A good designer is responsible for completing a job. A great designer is to make the finished product influence the society or turn it into a valuable history.

First of all, its practicality must be considered. Secondly, consider whether the materials and construction are environmentally friendly. Finally, whether the finished product of design is popular or not.

Good design can be appreciated over and over again. Now is the time for packaging to attract attention. Good design can save a lot of advertising fee.

If I had time, I would design my own house for my family.

I haven't had time to design my own house yet.

Communicate more and learn more about human feelings. My secret is to keep learning.

Andou Tadao, Carlo Scarpa

Those are so many designs I like that I don't know how to screen it.

My greatest design is Heart By Tree, which is a house that breaks through a lot of things I've never done before.

If we want others to like our design, we should respect other people's design first. Keep learning humbly.

Design is an element that add on perfect to life and makes people feel better. I think design is a necessity of life.

My wife and my family.

Keep positive energy and learn with an open mind

The disapproval of the design team and the technical problems of the construction team. Some customers don't believe my opinion either.

The designer should present the work and prepare the story statement at the same time.

My next design project is a charity building for hypoevolutism children. I want it to be a retro and environmentally friendly landmark.

I want to be an influential designer in Malaysia.

People hope that I can design more award-winning works and continue to win glory for Malaysia.

In the past environment, many construction processes are not planned, and the later design can make the environment better. Good design can also make people life more convenient.

What excites me most at the currently work is planning to renovate an old house.

At present, the project I am most satisfied with is Heart By Tree. Because it was my first award-winning work.

In the coming years, I hope that more Malaysians will accept design and learn more about the difference between designers and contractors.

I think the next step in the design field should combine more future technologies and networks.

I need three to nine months to finalize a design project.

I will start by chatting with customer.

There is no best design, only the most suitable design. Life is the main thing, style is the complement.

I think design sets the trends.

Computer, camera and drawing board.

AutoCAD, Photoshop, 3DMax, notebook and PC.

Color is a very important role in the design, reflecting the overall design feeling. Materials determine the details and texture of the design. The ambient is the most important in design, if the movement line is not good, that's means the overall design is not ideal.

The Story of Design。

Why would the designer think of doing this? and how did he do it?

My ideal design partner is close to me in idea and frequency. Yes, I'm believe in co-design.

I have no idea with it.

Ask a professional if don't understand, and keep practicing.

The engineer who built the pyramid.

I am grateful to all the people who have let me learn. I don't think it's hard to be famous, as long as you believe in faith.

My favorite color is blue, place is Japan, food is steak, season is Winter.

I once experienced a natural disaster in Taiwan and was chased by a flood while driving.

I tell myself every day that I can't fall down, because I have to support my family.

No, I don't think so.

I think in the next 1000 years, human beings can move instantly.

Please follow me.

After graduating from college, I did not work in interior design because of the opportunity, but chose to work in a restaurant. But there is still a dream of design in my heart. Under the opportunity, the owner of the Taiwan restaurant wanted to renovate a section of the dining areas, so I took the responsibility and got a good reputation. That's how I started my role as an amateur designer, until now I became the creative director. I think designers are magicians who can create a happy environment, so I have always wanted to be a designer.

We are a design studio located in Johor, Malaysia, focusing on customer life more than design style, each work is based on awards, our dream is to reform and enhance the decoration culture in Malaysia.

I don't think there is the best design, only the most suitable design. Beautiful things are one of the elements that affect people's mood, and design is the task to bring people happiness. The space planing is the key to the comfort of the house. The second is the collocation of colors and lights. I will consider the appropriate design theme at last.

I like the project which combination of architectural design and interior design.

The storytelling interior design work is my favorite, which can bring people more thinking and enjoyment. It may also become the history of the future for people to look back on.

That's the interior design of a double storey house.

My favorite material are stones and woods.

It's supposed to be whenever travelling.

During designing, I am most focus about people's way of life in different environments and at different times.

The nature of the earth is the law of life, and no one can change it. Feeling nature is a kind of mood when I design.

When my design is realized, it is no longer whether it makes money or not, but the feeling of seeing a baby born.

All the people involved cooperate well, plus the design with stories.

Life practicality is the first I will consider.

Due to the construction of the environment and the use of building materials, the earth has been destroyed. As a designer, we must constantly learn more environmental protection construction technology to make our environment better.

I think the field of design has evolved from color and decoration to the present. In the future, AI and Apps will have influence on the design work.

I haven't done an exhibition yet.

The design inspiration of my work is from Chinese history and culture. I will go travel to stimulate my creativity. My sources of inspiration is the change and evolution of the humanities.

I don't have a specific design style. My design is based on humanities and life. My design feature is to combine the environment with the customer's background story. My design method is to interview and take an in-depth look at the lives of customers.

I live in Malaysia. The cultural heritage of Malaysia has a lot of influence on my design. Many kinds of wood suitable for the local climate can be found in Malaysia to match in the design.

I only work with designers and construction teams with similar frequency, and I like to have meetings at the dinner table.

I think companies must communicate more when applying for recruitment and understand the designers' thoughts on society and their personality. Companies should choose the designers those are studious and responsible.

During the design process, I will stay at the construction site for a few hours to feel the changes of the whole environment at different times.

Kitchen, lamps and lanterns, sofa, feature wall, garden

I wake up at 8 o'clock in the morning. Sort out the list of customers that need to be contacted that day. Visit the construction site after a meeting with the staff. I will chat with customers in the afternoon and learn more. I start my design work around 9 p.m.

If you can bear hardships, don't be snub. Only by constantly learning can you make yourself better. Don't be proud of your achievements. Take advantage of your youth to think about your unique characteristics and keep learning from successful people.

Positive is that when our idea is recognized, we will have the motivation to move forward. Negativity is being blamed when we keep thinking about our customers.

Life is the main thing, style is the complement.

It is most important to be good at communicating their needs with customers.

AutoCAD, Photoshop, Pinterest, tape measure, computer, drawing board, camera

My time management still needs to be learn and improve.

One to three days

How much is your design fee, please?

As a manager of a Taiwan restaurant, I learned how to build everything from scratch.

Doctors of Regency Hospital Malaysia

I most enjoy the project which combination of architectural design and interior design. Be able to explore many people and things in the process, and have a great sense of achievement at the same time.

My future plan is to become a design consultant and design educator. At present, I have to make a brand of myself in the field of design in Malaysia.

I am develop my designs myself at present, recruit the team processing now.

I am designing a charity education center for hypoevolutism children to learn and study now.

Anyone who knows my contact number can call or whatsapp me.
