House type renovation is a necessary structural treatment during decoration. Even if it is a hard-decorated house, many people will make partial structural adjustments to the space to make the house type more suitable for their living needs. Of course, some special-shaped structures or units with strange structures require structural adjustments to improve space utilization.
However, the owner in the case below refused to make major demolitions and changes during the renovation because the apartment layout was "weird". Although the method is difficult to understand, when the space is positioned in a way that simplifies complexity, it not only achieves practicality and comfort, but also gives the space a clean texture from the core.
Floor plan
This project is located in Beijing, with an area of 220 square meters and a layout of four bedrooms, two living rooms and four bathrooms. The owner is a family of four and has two children. In fact, the reason why the owner doesn’t want to make major demolition or modifications is very simple: he just wants to move in as soon as possible. Of course, this does not mean that the homeowner has no quality requirements for the space. Instead, he hopes to reshape the visual aesthetics of the space with the concept of "less is more".
From the perspective of the original house type, although it is a typical large flat floor, the appearance of many special-shaped structures also gives people a "big discount" feeling. Even though there were many useless areas in the original space, during the renovation, the owner's request of not making major changes was still adhered to. Therefore, the entire space layout is also focused on optimization.
floor plan
Judging from the transformed layout, although the spatial structure has not been significantly changed, the spatial circulation has been optimized. For example, placing the main axis in the entrance hall not only divides the movement lines, but also connects an invisible order. The two special-shaped areas are planned as a secondary bedroom and a nanny's room respectively. Specifically, let’s analyze it step by step through the actual scene below.
Porch
The entrance hall is a special-shaped structure, but fortunately it is spacious enough. Therefore, in the layout, customized cabinets are used to improve the distorted visual sense, which not only integrates the functionality of storage and entrance, but also indirectly improves the smoothness of the movement lines. At the same time, the combination of logs and white, as well as the concealed handles on the cabinet doors, are also visually clean and neat.
In addition to a functional entrance hall when entering the home, there is also an entrance hall in the form of a hall after entering the room. This is also the main axis of the home. It not only functions as a diversion of movement lines, but also gives the space an invisible order under the series connection of materials and lights, thus strengthening the interactivity of life.
Living room
The living room reduces complexity to simplicity, leaving a large area of white space to give the space a pure texture. The top surface abandons the modeling roof and is illuminated by surface-mounted downlights and track lights , which not only highlights the minimalist style, but also gives more visual extensibility. Especially after the sliding door partition was removed from the south balcony, the space became more atmospheric and transparent.
The leisure rocking chair is not only for children, but also for homeowners. It is extremely comfortable whether it is used for leisure or for taking a nap.
TV wall is designed using conventional storage cabinets. However, considering that the width is 5.6 meters, the cabinet structure is divided into three pieces. In this way, the vision is balanced, and secondly, it also makes the TV invisible. At the same time, the use of raw wood, white, and gray elements also creates pure visual aesthetics.
Restaurant
As mentioned above, in order to realize a hidden danger in the space, the wall between the guest restaurant and the dining room is made of the same material as the floor. This not only plays the role of weakening the space boundary, but also brings benefits to the space. A touch of warm texture.
The restaurant also focuses on white space, and when paired with a minimalist black dining table, it not only highlights the delicate texture, but also strengthens the spatial hierarchy.
The glass window between the dining table and the study room was removed and replaced with a folding window. Not only does it create a touch of light and shadow in the space between opening and closing, but it also maximizes the transparency of the space.
Kitchen
The dining room looks towards the kitchen, abandoning the traditional glass sliding door partition, and partitioning it through glass windows, which not only extends a set of low cabinets for the restaurant, but also increases the storage capacity of the kitchen. At the same time, the clear glass material also plays a role in visually expanding the area.
Come inside the kitchen and paint the walls and floor with microcement to make the space look more unified and high-end. Part of the walls are treated with wood veneer, which also creates a connection with other spaces. Of course, due to the elimination of conventional sliding door partitions, the area of the cabinet worktop has also been greatly increased.
For those who love to cook, Japanese gas stoves are standard equipment. Compared with the traditional two-burner stove, it is more functional and can meet the simultaneous use of different functions. Such as cooking, baking, making soup, etc. Friends who are ready to buy it, remember to do your homework in advance, because its gas interface is somewhat different from that in China.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom continues the treatment of the living room, and paired with low-saturation bedding and curtains, it immediately creates a gentle and comfortable texture for the space. At the same time, the design of the invisible curtain box once again makes the space neat and clean.
Study room
The layout of the study room is also very simple. The compartment-style bookshelf is very good in terms of storage capacity and display function. At the same time, the columns with stone veneer also prevent the space from feeling frivolous.
Children's Room
Considering that the two children are still relatively young, the children's room only has a basic cabinet design. This not only provides an open play area for the two children, but will also be particularly convenient when adjusting the layout later.
nd bedroom
The second bedroom is the old man’s room, and the two children also sleep here, so the entire floor was treated with tatami mats. In this way, whether it is for storage, playing, or sleeping, it can be satisfied.
Bathroom
The bathroom is basically the same as the kitchen. Microcement is used to treat the walls and floors. Of course, both the main bathroom and the exterior bathroom have separate shower rooms and add storage cabinets to maximize the quality of life.
Looking at the entire case, although the structure has not been changed, the space performance is quite good. Of course, this is also due to the large area of the original apartment. But no matter what, it can be regarded as bringing us some new decoration ideas. Even if the apartment layout does not change, it can still be practical and comfortable.
