The case I shared with you this time is a new house with high-end decoration delivered in Qiantan, Shanghai. This house was purchased by the couple for the next 10 years of family planning, and the surrounding life, business and school facilities are excellent. Although the new house is delivered with fine decoration, the internal layout and decorative aesthetics do not meet their needs. I still remember when the owner first visited, he firmly stated that the content of fine decoration delivered with can be abandoned with , hoping to leave the largest space scale for Japanese space transformation.
The pure Japanese style is a very consistent requirement for the couple. The female owner studied and lived in Japan in her early years, and after returning to China, she also worked in a Japanese company. Therefore, she highly recognized Japan's efficient and humanized design and liked the Japanese aesthetic style.
Because it is a frame structure house, after all demolishing, it is almost a large flat floor. On the premise of ensuring the rationality of kitchen and bathroom, all spaces can be re-planned. For design, freedom brings greater challenges. Basic information of houses: Coordinates: Shanghai Pudong
Building area: 130㎡
Original apartment type: 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms
Original apartment type: 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms html ml4
Residents: father, mother, eldest daughter (6 years old), younger daughter (2 years old), elder (permanent residence helps take care of children)
owners’ transformation needs:
- transformed into a pure Japanese-style residential
- needs: porch sinking area, open LDK, four-separated bathroom (Japanese full bathroom)
- retain three bedrooms
- want to increase storage space, and there are more clothes, shoes, children's toys and books at home
- want to keep the original double bed, MUJI The combination cabinet and dining table
- daughter's room needs to put a piano, bunk bed and study table
transformation begins! The first step is to reset everything back to zero.
- Because it is a super high-rise residential building, it is equipped with a fire protection system and the fire spray device needs to be re-arranged according to the design.
- retains central air conditioning, fresh air, thermal circulation system and other equipment. It needs to be removed and saved when the old is dismantled and reinstalled during the construction stage.
3333333333333: In the past, Japanese residential buildings were mainly low-quality wooden buildings. In order to keep warm and moisture-proof, the indoor wooden floors were raised and hung in the air. There was an area that was not raised at the entrance to the house, which was the soil room. The soil room was relatively large in the old days, which was convenient for farmers to do some manual operations at home. Modern Japanese residences still retain unlifted soil rooms, and store items such as shoes and jackets for outdoor use according to their size, which also serves as the dividing line between outdoor and indoor areas. PS. There are also terrestrial rooms in many public places in Japan, such as hotels, gymnasiums, kindergartens, etc., where outdoor shoes must be taken off.
We have made many different entrance halls, and will be renovated based on the actual storage capacity, entrance traffic arrangement, and the actual situation of the residence. During the recurrence of masks in early 2022, we also visited many owners after checking in. Everyone’s surprisingly unanimous feedback was: entrance hall is really great! The soil naturally assumes the natural isolation between indoor and outdoors, and the secondary disinfection after entering the house, the large amount of stockpiling of goods, etc., which makes people feel more secure.
The original fine decoration room design is a corridor. There is only a set of storage cabinets at the end of the corridor to undertake all storage needs after entering the house, which is far from enough.
The new design transformed the entrance corridor without storage function, and expanded the space on both sides to increase the necessary storage in the entrance: -time clean clothes , hats, bags, shoes, umbrellas, sports equipment, keys, disinfectants, and masks. Let them be in their place.
Second-child families often come in and out of a whole family. If the entrance space is too narrow, it will cause congestion and chaos. So we designed a shoe-changing bench with a sufficient length on the left hand side of the entrance, and went out or went home, with enough space and order. Slippers for indoor and outdoor are placed below the bench, and there are storage positions for clothing and bags on both sides.
High and low difference The column design here makes the space more interesting. You can use it as a handrail when entering and exiting; you can also use it to hang door curtains.
Indoor lighting windows are designed on the walls of the entrance hall and kitchen room. When someone goes home, the family members in the inner room can also sense it as soon as possible.
is an oversized ceiling-standing shoe storage cabinet on the right side of the door. Usually, the folding door is closed, clean and tidy. Let us open the folding door and see what textbook-like storage homework looks like?
Left shoe rack: My, Dad, Sister, Sister, and Shoes that elders who often come to help take care of each day can be arranged properly.
Flexible storage area on the right: upper storage basket is equipped with masks, disinfectants, deodorants, etc. that are necessary for going out; lower hanging rods can store umbrellas and bags. Because the ground and dust-falling area are the same space, it can store items such as suitcases and sports equipment that are easily contaminated with external dust.
The access control is thoughtfully placed at the boundary of the entrance hall, and it can be easily operated without going down the entrance hall every time.
The original fine decoration room planned is a whole space connected to the balcony, with a large area and depth that is a bit wasteful. The independent kitchen with a large area is very limited due to the limitations of pipelines, and the operation and storage space cannot meet the owner's desire for LDK.
In the new design, we connect the original master bedroom with the kitchen and restaurant and transform it into an LDK.
new LDK space not only meets the owner's hope for open kitchen , but also allows you to see the children in the living room at a glance when operating; it also ensures the transparency and depth of the space.
Japanese dual-type kitchen layout is a very efficient layout method that takes into account the interactive characteristics.
Facing one side of the restaurant, a sink and a dishwasher were arranged, and space for trash cans was specially left so that the trash cans would not be left in the corridor and would be hindered. A gas stove and oven are arranged on the side of the wall, and space is reserved on the countertop for the kitchen cooking appliances.
Home between Caing and the dining table, we raised the baffle on the back of the cabinet as a water barrier. It can visually accommodate small items on the countertop and can also function to block the splash of water that may splash with water.
Open kitchen space where family makes, eat, spend time and talk, and enjoy daily life.
In fact, the kitchen is the best, and the most commonly used storage is under the cabinet. Therefore, the owner has invested in a lot of hardware accessories to improve the storage capacity of the lower cabinet. Including the fully imported Japanese LiXil easy-to-drawing, originated from "Human Fit Technology". You can use the least movement to take out the tools you want, use the lever principle, the drawer opens with slight force, and the three layers of space are unfolded one by one, making it easier to get.
The tableware taken out of the dishwasher can reach the opposite drawer in 0 seconds.
Another storage artifact is skirting board pump, which can accommodate almost all the cookware of the small and small in the house. After closing, it is slightly concave. When people stand close to the cabinet, they will not hit the toes.
Meal side storage cannot be underestimated: bottle disinfection, instant hot water dispenser, milk powder stocked up, baby's snacks, family's medicine box, baking tools, etc. things that can fill half a room are all collected by this group of sideboards!
In addition, there are two small designs in the lower cabinet.
. The space for placing buckets of water under the table is preset: connects the ready-to-water dispenser on the table to the lower bucket by punching holes on the table. If you close the door, you won’t be able to see the bucket. Isn't it great to have storage, but can directly supply water at the same time? !
. The base station for placing the sweeping and drag robot is preset: reserves the height and socket position, and can be blocked with a beautiful small cloth curtain according to your preferences, which is simple and beautiful.
The owner originally had a MUJI combination cabinet at home, which is very convenient to use and wanted to keep it. The size and potential are reserved in advance during design, and after slightly renovation, it perfectly matches the overall needs and style.
Homes with two bathrooms usually think that the bathroom is enough and ignore the possibility of its transformation.
In this case, the permanent population of the family is 3 large and 2 small, and the gender ratio is 4 female + 1 male. After discussing with the owner, we kept a toilet room and re-planned the two bathrooms into 5 large spaces:
. Independent locker room
. Independent bathroom
. Independent toilet
. Independent toilet
. Independent cleaning room
The original main bathroom was in the master bedroom, with low utilization rate and insufficient space size to install an overall bathroom of 1216. After the redesign, the bathroom A was transformed into a combination space of dressing room + overall bathroom. The design of the overall bathroom of
requires planning in advance, and it needs to be reasonably implemented from the driving line to the space arrangement. It is not recommended to leave only a rough space and then throw it to the supplier to complete it. There may be various problems.
Open the sliding door and it is a warm and comfortable dressing room and bathroom. chest of drawers respectively place replacement clothes, bath towels, etc. for family members to take a bath. The double-layer dirty clothing basket is also the first choice for design and reserved according to the size. The Japanese integrated bathroom of
200*1600 is a mainstream size that is popular among everyone. It integrates a bathtub and shower space, ensuring comfort while occupancy of space is relatively low. The styles, hardware, storage, etc. of the interior wall and floor finishes can be customized.
After moving the kitchen openly, leave space inside as a cleaning room, which is mainly used to install equipment, laundry, cleaning, storage and cleaning utensils.
There are ventilation windows on this side, so the location of the small clothes rail is also hidden, so the scrubbing rags and other clothes can be dried here directly.
d bathroom was originally small in area and irregular in shape. After the shower room was cancelled, it was transformed into a bathroom with double basins and a separate toilet room.
customized artificial stone integrated double basin, side water extraction faucet, can reduce the retention of water stains and be clean and easy to take care of.
Two customized sets of chest of drawers are embedded on the other side of the house. There are 10 drawers in total, one for parents, sisters and elders, and the remaining four for public goods.
How to use storage space to the extreme, in addition to the designer's pre-design, the owner also needs to make more detailed plans based on his or her living habits.
Independent toilet room, with windows to ensure lighting and ventilation.
Embed the mini washbasin in the toilet into the combination cabinet, leaving a small space to place hand sanitizer.
is the storage area for tissues. In the era of masks, only when you fill it up can you feel at ease
After the renovation, every bedroom still has good lighting and ventilation. It uses the narrow and long inner wall area in the middle to be designed as a cloak storage room.
The growth rhythm of the two children will be slightly different, and the bedroom planning is actually changing. My sister has not yet entered the kindergarten, and she needs to sleep in the same space with her parents during childhood, which is convenient for night care and safe maintenance.
The new master bedroom space has a balcony, so it can accommodate a crib. When the younger sister grows up, she can use a yoga mat and install the fitness stand that her father has already placed in the shopping cart on the wall, as a simple fitness area.
There is a night light strip below the bed. If you want to see the baby's situation at night, you can also give it a glimmer of light.
The cloakroom A in the master bedroom is covered with a curtain, which saves space and is more breathable.
The cloakroom with a total length of 2.8m is neatly maintained. Above are items that are not often taken in the seasonal changes. The clothes of the season can basically be hung up for storage. The storage box and drawer below are purchased by the hostess according to the size, and strive to be in good order. It will be extremely comfortable to store the storage box and chest of drawers.
The original bedroom B had a limited width (maximum 1.5m) and the wall was irregular. Next to it was the bathroom, so it could no longer be expanded, so we expanded from the horizontal space (expanded from 4m to 5.6m), so that we can accommodate up and down children's bed , piano and study table.
At the same time, we designed a set of special 4-shaped doors for my daughter's room, among which the two near the entrance are fixed fans, and the other two can be moved. The grille style with strong Japanese visual language is not only a way to introduce light, but also the first sight to see after entering the home.
Sister started primary school this year, and this is the place to learn in the future.
Place children's high and low beds and piano on the other side.
lower bunk is temporarily not sleeping, and is arranged as the girls' favorite house play scene, as well as small bookshelf and reading lights. This is the secret base for the children. The entrance to the children's cloakroom is on the side of the corridor outside the door.
The children's cloakroom has a total length of 3.8m. The children's clothes are hung up. There are four drawers of drawers underneath, and there are special school uniforms, school pants, and small clothes hangers, which can be easily picked up by children themselves.
When the child was young, parents of both parties would come to help each other often, and this bedroom was prepared for the elders when they lived there. In the future, when children can be independent, they can be used as their daughter's bedroom.
hides the clothesline in front of the window to facilitate the drying needs of elders.
From zero back to full score livable
Renovation lasted nearly a year
only for everyone in the family. A happy smile
Dear family members, welcome home
Finally, let’s talk to you about the decoration of fine decoration houses: because most new houses now must be delivered in fine decoration, so there have been more consultations on the renovation of fine decoration houses in recent years. However, there are not many owners who are truly determined to dismantle and reinstall them all. Some only want to change the walls, floors and soft furnishings, while others only want to change the bathroom and kitchen.
Home decoration new home owners are: is it to be demolished or modified? If you dismantle it, it will feel a bit wasteful; but if you do not dismantle it, you will be affected by various effects and cannot be completely transformed, and you are afraid of regrets in the future.
This is indeed no best of both worlds. If you decide to find a good designer to design, you will definitely be dissatisfied with the existing decoration and layout. Then our suggestion is to remove all the hard decorations and make a brand new transformation. Some electrical equipment is retained or transferred according to actual conditions to reduce waste. If you are just not satisfied with the color style, etc., you can consider changing the style of the whole house through soft decoration transformation. As long as you think clearly about your needs, you won’t be confused about the next step.
