PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The original entrance is at the end of the bed, so the moving line is abnormal; the designer exchanges the direction of the living room and the bedroom, and adjusts the entrance direction to the same side of the TV wall, which is more in line with the living thought. In the public area, the sunward side is simultaneously incorporated into the kitchen and balcony area. The kitchen is defined by the glass door, which is not only the simplest way to separate, but also allows the outdoor light to penetrate and enter the room. The air also circulates more naturally when the door is open; the front and rear balconies are equipped with the blinds, and the light source can be adjusted freely to meet the needs of humanity. The original antique furniture of the owner stays the same in the space. Under the strong Chinese style, the designer specially selects the old accessories of European style. In addition, it is decorated with the modern lightings made of glass and metal. It blends the old and new to achieve the visual balance.
