When I was a child, the living room was the strategic location of my home.
At night, I have to start grabbing: Dad wants to watch football games, mom wants to watch TV series, and I want to watch cartoons. in the end only has one winner. If you start late, you will have to return to the bedroom disappointed.

It’s strange that the living room was originally a public space for a family, but do we have no other way to live together except to sit together and watch TV?
After digging into dozens of good homes, I learned a new concept - home public area design. only then did I understand that there are many problems. The source is that the design is not done well.
is not only a living room, but also is a "space used and maintained by the whole family", and can be called a "family public area".
Open kitchen, migratory restaurant, multi-functional living room, LDK integration... These current "popular" practices actually grasp one core - a more intimate family relationship.
break the fixed mindset
to unlock more possibilities
-
has a sofa that is the living room?
If you have a bookcase, is it the study room?
In the past, we used to using furniture to define the function of rooms, but it also invisibly limited the possibility of rooms.
might as well try to start from the life scene and push back the room layout, and there may be more surprises.

Living room without a main sofa, transparent lighting, bright and spacious, most suitable for nesting.

There is no main sofa, she can lie flat, roll around, practice yoga, and even set up a small stall.
This is a more suitable place to stay alone than the hospitality area.
The principle of storage of my books is: break up and turn into corners. Wherever the child goes, he can pick up the book and read it as he sits down his butt.

She set up more than 10 reading areas in the whole family, most of which are concentrated in public areas. For two children, reading becomes a natural thing when they can see books wherever they go.
@Cat_Maojie
Public area has no extra decoration. The most special thing is that this liftable sofa can be a sofa, a table, or a leisure table.
suzuo @Cat_Maojie
Compared to the living room, the homeowner wants a multi-function gym more.
In addition to embedded cabinets and a few chairs, there is no furniture in the room. sofa is a bold breakthrough and has made a liftable board , and the height can be adjusted as you like.
dynamic crossing, line of sight communication
Still worry about not having the chance to interact?
–
no interaction? Then create interaction.
In public space, if the family's movements are crossed more, more opportunities for interaction will be created.
At the same time, the communication of vision is also very important, ensuring that you can see each other in different spaces, which naturally leads to less distance and more closeness.
@MOU Architectural Commune
Comprehensive functional area restores the scale of the original window holes and door holes without setting any barriers, allowing air and sunlight to penetrate the entire space.
Designer @MOU Construction Worker Society
Point I learnt ta’s home clever thinking
This house is a wedding house designed by designer @MOU Construction Worker Wu Zheng for himself and his wife.
public area extends from the front yard to the kitchen, and the space is all open. The 46㎡ small house has no complicated traffic lines. The functional areas are placed on both sides, forming a natural channel in the middle.
But even on the same line, he retained a lot of inner windows so that the two people can always see each other's eyes.
@ Also remembered my mother's words
Open kitchen is so fragrant! Working in the kitchen, you can also interact with children playing with toys. The children can always see their parents and feel more secure.
Sumitomo @Yaya also remembered the words of her mother
Sumitomo @Yaya also remembered the words of her mother. She opened up most of the space in the public area and had a super large island more than 4 meters long + dining table , which was super cool.
open kitchen creates an opportunity for interaction for people who cook. Even if they are busy in the kitchen, it does not affect communication with their family.
In the high toy area, the child can see the mother in the kitchen through the transparent window, and parents can also watch the children's dynamics at any time.
@cy takes you for a ride
When I was with my family, my brother was washing and cutting vegetables at the island. I took it and stir-fryed. My mother directed me next to me. The father who was watching TV came in for a while and said in a long while how to put the seasoning. In an instant, he felt: Oh, I am so happy.
subuki@cy takes you for a ride
subuki@cy takes you for a ride till, saying: "Maybe it's the relationship that grows by the sea. I have always been a straightforward person and likes to be open and open."
Therefore, the kitchen, living room, dining room, study, and other public spaces are all open.
She was particularly moved when describing the scene of being with her family. It is also thanks to this openness that eliminates the sense of distance between the family. allows us to see such a warm picture
The most effective companionship
is "sitting together"
–
Each family member may have different expectations for the public area: some want to read office, some want to drink tea and watch TV series, and children want to play freely.
Therefore, it is particularly important to create a "multi-functional" composite public area. Everyone is busy with their own things, but at least sitting together is the most practical company.
@Stefny
The original living room space of the house was transformed into the current restaurant by us. We moved the long table at home here, which is also the space where my husband and I have the most activities.
Designer @Stefny
Designer @Stefny's public area of the home is centered on this long table. A material display cabinet is placed in the corner of
to meet her office needs; a hidden sliding door is used to make flexible separation from the sofa reading area next to it.
She focused on the lighting arrangement, and arranged key lighting according to different life scenes such as reading, work, dining, etc. just fits the different temperaments of several corners.
@Xinxin's mother is a major center in the family. The child does his homework here, we have dinner here, and after the meal, my husband and his father have tea here.
subuo @Xinxin Mom's Frontal Discipline
Open tatami study room and super long dining table, it is the interactive center of @Xinxin Mom's whole Discipline .
This is a space that the whole family likes. It is very close to the kitchen bar. Dads and grandpas who love to drink tea can pick up and pour water at will. The large plane of
tatami is also very suitable for children who like to jump. Whether they are doing homework, rolling around, or playing, they can satisfy them.
@shuishane
The living room is centered on the entire book wall and a 2-meter-long multi-functional workbench. The whole family spends 70% of the day together.
suzumo @shuishere
suzumo @shuishere@shuishere called his public area a "living room for parents and children to grow up together".
In order to maximize the use of the book wall and leave a crawling area for Erbao, There is no main sofa in the living room, which has become a playground for children.
My parents sit at the desk working and reading, watching the children playing on the ground, playing Lego, or playing the piano on the other side...Mom said, "Every time I see him immersed in it, I am glad that I persist."
@Wenjun
When the wife occasionally works overtime at home, her son will lie on her mother's lap from time to time and ask, Mom, are you doing well in work? Then he ran to play on his own.
subuo@Wenjun@Wenjun2
When I bought a house, I saw this 4.8m*9m living room space, and the designer @Wenjun couldn't walk.
He gave this living room huge spatial flexibility: it connects the mother's reading area, the father's work area, the grandparents' film and television area, the baby's play area, and everyone's restaurant. The position of the sofa is also not fixed and can be moved as needed.
Wenjun said: "For me, the meaning of is probably to provide such a space where a family can accompany each other.”
When writing these public spaces, I often think: What is the name of this room?
They are often the result of the complexity of multiple functions and cannot be simply summarized in the living room, study room, and restaurant - this also means that the inherent form of family space is being broken.
in designer @Wenjun At home, everyone sits in various spaces in the public area to watch the World Cup together.
Just like the special relationship of "family", several independent individuals are closely connected because of their families.
Home public area is precisely where this connection is carried. has sorted out the public area of the home, which opens the entrance to the emotional flow between the family.
