The indoor space and the outdoor space are connected through the bar. The sunken living room has rich height difference changes. Wood brings affinity to the space. The mezzanine is the bedroom. The furniture creates the area that does not disturb each other with the below space.

Research

This project studies the possibility of a tiny living space. Its purpose is to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in a very small space and to meet the needs of residents' living and social interaction. The design team carefully controls the size of each activity scene, and realizes the superposition of various functions through the customized furniture and advantages of floor height. Space limitation through wood increases the richness of space. The contrast of materials enlarges the visual feeling of space.

Inspiration

The designer combines the courtyard with the interior space to obtain more usable area and the possibility of carrying out activities. Through the activities between people to establish the overall connection of space. The designer takes an activity axis as the main line. Activity scenes are unfolded on this axis. Wood veneer and wood furniture bring affinity to the space. The boundary between furniture and architecture becomes blurred, which is conducive to making full use of every space.
