More than a Cabin
Projet Description
The project is located in Xuhui District, Shanghai. It is a one-bedroom apartment of less than 40 sq. ft. This case is located on the first floor of a high-rise building, with a large window in the living room and greenery outside the window.
The owner is a post-95 boy who works in advertising and creative, with his own complete and clear aesthetics needs. As his first house, he wants this space to be a residence of the heart to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Our design revolved around the owner's needs, incorporating his three main themes of "Zen Wabi-sabi", "Modern Japanese" and "Classical Chinese", which is obviously a big challenge for such a small space.
In terms of space layout, we opened the original non-load-bearing partition wall, changed the kitchen to open, divided the public area by a central axis, the west side is the public area, the east side is raised as a whole and set as a private area, and the south side balcony is raised to link the private area and form an entry end view. The materials used in the whole house are micro-cement and custom-made artistic copper plates. The design details are fully explored, such as elevated TV, electric elevated table, custom wine rack, etc., which can be seen everywhere, and at the same time have powerful storage functions, finally creating a practical and happy small room full of oriental aesthetics.
Founded in 2019, our studio is located in a century-old house under sycamore trees in Shanghai, hence named Tonghua Space, which means painting your exclusive space with us.
Founder Tong Zhang, with 10 years of design experience and international vision, leads a team always committed to providing personalized full-project design and implementation services for private homes and commercial spaces, each case strives to achieve the level of works, so far has more than 100 sets of project experience, and has won more than 30 domestic and international design awards.
