Simeng Yao · CLIENT: Motin Design
Another Me is a residential interior design for a home in Chongqing, China. The layout is arranged as one bedroom and one large living area, so the interior stays open and spacious. The scheme was developed after a survey of the owners' living needs and preferred styles, followed by several discussions that shaped the final plan before construction. The open space lets the owners display their favorite items throughout the home. The intent is to make the house a means of personal expression, rather than only a place to live.

- Unique Properties
- This design endows the residential space with more meaning. However,the traditional one,especially the single-storey houses,usually could only provide the residential function for people. But through this design,an extremely open house with one bedroom and one living room is created to show the owner's temperament and unmask his or her personality. This design gifts an additional display to the house,but also enables the house to be another carrier for expressing themselves,rather than just for people to live in.

Through multiple discussions with the clients, we finally presented the whole set of design scheme and carried out construction.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of this design is to convert old concepts, to put it in more detail, how to make owners accept the unconventional design of one room and one hall. Through the analysis of the needs and living habits of the two owners and their personality, the design has become a reality after continuous communication.
