Designer Lai Xudong is the most down-to-earth designer I have seen in Dream Home Renovation. The first time I saw his design was in the phase of the 30,000 yuan renovation, the program team put the gimmick in In order to save money, there are not many opportunities to renovate the house type. Throughout the entire program, what I watched most was not his renovation of apartments, but his furniture design. In order to save money for the owners, he used his patents on the furniture he designed to bargain with others, which was a breath of fresh air. It makes people think this designer is a bit cute.
What I want to talk about the most is another phase of his renovation, where he converted a one-bedroom house into a four-bedroom house. What impressed me most was the “wrong height” design. The owner's height was 3.5m and he couldn't make it into a two-story duplex. He settled for a half-two-story design, with the activity area measuring two meters and the sleeping area measuring one and a half meters, so that the upper floor would be upstairs. There will be no conflict in the space below. It gave my son an independent space and ensured privacy.
The designer also designed a cloakroom upstairs for the owner’s son, with his own storage space. Downstairs of the cloakroom is a storage room, which makes full use of the space and ensures storage.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the owner is an aunt who makes a living by sewing. She supports her children by sewing. She goes out to pick up work regardless of the weather, which causes great harm to her body. In order to allow her to work more comfortably, the designer increased the area of ??the kitchen window and changed the kitchen dining table to a rotatable one. Under the operating table is the sewing machine, and the rotating dining table can also be used as a sewing operating table. Allowing owners to work from home. The designer also considered that if the owner's aunt was unwilling to work at home and wanted to go out to work, she also designed a pushable sewing machine housing for her. Designer Lai has designed another piece of furniture.
The mother’s bedroom was not made to have the wrong height, but retained the original shelf height to make the space look larger. The owner’s eldest daughter is already married, so the designer reserved a folding bed for her. The owner is engaged in sewing work and has very high storage requirements for hanging clothes and materials. The designer made almost all cabinets retractable, such as the skirting part of the stairs, under the mother's bed, etc. Solved the storage needs.
The floor tiles in the bathroom and kitchen aisle are also eye-catching. The geometric tiles increase the sense of extension of the space, and the bold colors are also impressive.
Although designer Lai Xudong also used some movable furniture, he did not give me the feeling of showing off his skills. I felt that these movable furniture were very practical. It can also increase the happiness and practicality of the owners. Practicality is what life really needs.
