Interview with Zhu Jianhong

Because i love making the thing as my own wish since i was child. And i really enjoy the achievement once my work be recognized by other people.

i choose to become a designer as i love design.

Most of my work are interior architecture, i prefer to design house or office to offer better living or working environment for others.

Be patient and keep studying, and don't give up.

in my opinion, great designer has more creative and personal style, and lead the new trend for one industry.

A good design should be very practical, beauty with low cost, green as well.

Good design should carry out design's idea and match people's expectation with green material. People always hope to have better life with their own personality, so they need to have good design to help them implement their idea.

i would like to re-design my home for my family if had the time.

PHENOM DESIGN was set up in 2010, besides the professional architectural & interior design, we also do landscape design consulting. we are aiming to establish a professional environmental art design service platform. after 8 years accumulate and hard work, Our pragmatic and continuous research and development and the spirit of creation to win the recognition of customers, in the industry has also won a number of awards.

In my opinion, design needs us solving the problem with creatively idea, to build up better environment and conditioning for living. Trying to match people's requirement in the smartest way with low cost and protect the environment is the must.

I like designing house with inhabitant's personality most.

My favorite design is our office - phenom office. This project is our office and daily life place, originally it is two layer with height of 5.5 meters stores building, we use the steel structure to separate the original first floor into two layers, the second floor is also added with the mezzanine. After the addition, it is a 3-storey building.

my friend's house was my first work. I was quite exciting and after communicating with my friend over 2 months, then I figured out the plan and finished the work smoothly, my friend was quite satisfied when it's done.

concrete ceiling slab and wood, and environmental protection plywood are my favorite material for interior design.

I really enjoy having a glass of whisky when I am working. because the good whisky makes me relax and have more new idea.

I always pay attention of the practicability of design, and environment protecting is the must.

I always feel concentration, exciting, anxiety when I work.

very exciting and satisficed, sometimes feel proud for my design and team when the design is done.

well commucation, keep studying and curiosity for new things, never give up, I think these 3 points are very important for successful design.

practicability and convenience, art and style, green are always my consider.

as the designer, I think use more green energy to protect environment, sustainable development should be everyone's aim. also trying to build up higher quality of product and better life with lower cost, is another responsibility for society.

Green, sustainable development, personality and with high technology are design's future. Design field will be evolving to be more personality and modernized.

I haven't organized any exhibition yet, looking forward to hold my own exhibition in the future.

I love travelling to looking around different world, and talk with different people, observe other people's work, etc.... to sum up, the major design inspiration is come from real life, keeping learning from other people's design, book, magazine and other ways is very important for keep my creativity.

The Modern Concise Style is my design style. Relax, comfortable, practical are main characteristics of this style.

I am living in Foshan, very traditional city in south of China. As Guangdong was open when I was a student, so I had a lot of chance to touch western style and information, I personally love Contemporary style, besides the practical, economize and hard working, the cultural heritage does not affect my design lot.

Design is my basic work at Phenom studio, commutation with customer and colleague is another very important work, listening customer's request and go to project's site to learn more information, lead our team to have a design plan and turn it to be real.

I think inside commucation is the most important for a company, staff training and team building to keep company's activity and tacit understanding, also release designer's pressure in proper way is also important. for a good design, warm heart is the basic, easy to commutate, self study ability and responsibility are key fact to be a good designer.

face to face have a conversation with customer is the first step, to understand customer's request & quotation and project's basic information. Meanwhile, i will observe customer's personality and habit, try to design the things to match their preference. Then i will bring my team to the site to take some photos and get some actual date to learn more information about the project. Drew a draft design and keep commucation with customer and construction team, and do some adjustment and give some new suggestion to customer to get better work.

I like my book table, wine fridge, sofa, Combine-unit under the TV, and wine glassware.

working day always busy. after sending my child to school, if i do not go to project site or see customer directly, then i just go to office for working with colleagues. Most days, i have to work very late, or have dinner with customers or friends sometimes.

Don't give up and work hard for your dream, i think it's my own secret. Young designers need to be more patient, and keep studying ( design knowledge and relationship with different people), have more conversation with people from different industry, more travelling if it's possible.

i am really proud of myself be a designer. because people could get better living conditioning, the life they are satisfied through my work and idea. however, designer always need work late and little weekend, so i don't have that much time for my family, i feel a little bit sorry them.

well communication and practical design is my key rule.

I think study skill is the most important for a designer.

rules, pens, etc. Software is SKP, PHOTO SHOP, 3D, etc.

Most of my time are spent in office or meeting with customer. However, accompany family if i have time on weekend. and every year, i will travel to different country for about 10 days.

it depends on how big or small of that project. Usually, it is about 2- 3 months.

As a designer, i always ask :" how do you think & feel " to other people, to get new idea or adjustment of the design.

For myself, the most important experience was my partner sperate from my company, then i had to solve a lot of matters and faced a big challenge and pressure, my company got back to right way after almost one year.

Most our clients are individual people and some company clients, house, apartment, office and business project are major product.

i really enjoy thinking the design plan most, if my plan could be from paper or mind to be real existed, which proves that your idea is recognized, it's kind of achievement.

I am planning to open a branch office in Shenzhen. Because Shen Zhen city is much bigger and modernized, where we can get more potential customer and better design, although we are going face more challenge, but more opportunity as well.

Yes, i do work as a team although i am the chief designer, because i always think team is much stronger and powerful than one induvial person. so besides to develop myself and i also pay attention about team growth.

we just finish a villa design and it's under the construction. it's introduced by my existing customer. Big project, would take about 6 months to get it done.
