About My Dream Home Wenynterieurûntwerp

Myn Dreamhûs is de renovaasje fan in 80 kante meter grutte tûnappartemint yn Hangzhou foar in famylje fan fiif. It oarspronklike hûs wie beknypt, mei minne ferljochting en ventilaasje, in ynefficiïnte yndieling en beheinde privacy. Ynterne muorren waarden ferwidere om in iepen keuken en itenskeamer, in stúdzjekeamer, twa badkeamers en trije sliepkeamers te foarmjen. Elektryske skowe en flier-oant-plafond glêzen finsters ferheegje it deiljocht en ferbine it ynterieur mei de tún. Skowe muorren en multyfunksjonele meubels passe de romte oan, wylst treedleaze tagong, net-glide flieren en leuningen de âldere bewenners stypje.
