Huaxia Collection Network News just past the "11th World Living Conditions Survey Day, February 28." Basic necessities, live and work, living is of course the livelihood of the people, per capita housing area is a measure of the quality of living conditions of the important indicators, but housing whether the larger the better, whether the new house is better, the beauty of life and the art index of the house has no connection?
Hong Kong designer's humble abode
when it comes to living conditions, it is easy to connect with the living area, the house of course is the bigger the better, the big spacious good planning arrangements. Japan's 92 square meters so-so, the United Kingdom 98 square meters, the United States 177 square meters is called happiness and well-off, our country is now 65 square meters, happiness just started.
A Hong Kong architect named Zhang Zhijiang broke this misconception with his 40-year residence of 32 square meters. Such a humble abode after his skilful design, competing for 1999 years in the Asia-Pacific region Interior design individual residential category champion, now almost become small huxing to become a model of large space.
This small house is the place where Zhang Zhijiang lived with his parents and 3 sisters as a child. As the sisters were married, Zhang Zhijiang had 3 modifications to the House since 1988, loading everything he wanted. First, he broke all the compartments, the different functions of life, work, entertainment overlap and stealth, such as bed and sofa overlap, curtains and projection screen overlap, bedroom, living room, show room, small corridor all magic-like blink of an eye to go, he even gave himself a private theater. "The trick is to use the curtains, the closet and the movable pulley around the bottom of the furniture," says Laurent Gus Thieres, a famous Italian designer. "This makes the original narrow house into a dynamic, vibrant space form, the original conflict of the dream and reality, through the skillful design of one." "
into the Zhang Zhijiang of the dwelling, with white, beige, as well as the blue lights constantly changing, 32 square meters space has become a hundred-variable elf. Home walls, cloth and furniture are basically white, depending on the different colors of light to create a different atmosphere. Zhang Zhijiang tells us, here, the light is the dancing soul in the space, the purple, the water Blue radiance, the curtain flutters with the wind, the light and the shadow in 32 square meters space is ambiguous.
Cozy Patio building four water to church
The old house does not mean shabby. Ancient Huizhou, the west handed, Hong Village since needless to say, also not to build exquisite, courtyard heavy, black-and-white gray jumbled Suzhou residential, said that the common courtyard of the south.
Jiangnan residential areas are often adjacent to the water mountain, the axis of symmetry, enclosed closed, surrounded by houses with each other affiliated, roof lap, the middle of the small courtyard because of the eaves connecting corridor, the shape of the wellhead, it also called the patio. Open patio is not only for the lighting and ventilation of the four houses, but also the core of the family activities, because all the rain on the roofs of the roof into the patio, "Water to the hall", with wealth (water), so Su Zhe, Hunan, Fujian and Guangdong dwellings are widely used.
in the spring rain season, to Su Zhe hundredFamily name, which is not one side Peel Green soybeans, na soles, while Lao, many of us are nurtured by such an environment grew up! Courtyard Architectural design of the art tradition, in the Jiangnan flow for thousands of years, nourishing a nation, our character, taste and self-cultivation are four water to the atmosphere of the Tang deeply nourishing, that is home.
The most intelligent is Montreal
Old House adapt to the new era of course it should be, but do we have to dismantle Dajian? The answer from Montreal, Canada, is: local conditions.
Like many old towns, the French city of Montreal has to be "old as it is". The local government requires residents, housing decoration must abide by a rule, that is to maintain the original style of the building unchanged. Walking on the Old street, the black staircase rotates like a note and turns up on the floor, the red handrail, the yellow steps, carefully look at the second floor of the ladder is also carrying a staircase on the first floor, about the first floor to do a storefront, the staircase from the second floor, the three or four floor, the black staircase with red, purple silk ribbon, the space immediately flashed lively; , every staircase or resplendent, or dark shiny, ladder on flowers, birds, pets, landscape images, the owner's hobby and temperament at a glance. So, to Montreal, must see the Old City staircase art, this culture scenery line is pleasing to the eye.
The houses in Montreal, many of them made of wood, are the most valuable architectural heritage of the Old City. In the old City, the core of the cabin cannot be changed, but the shell of the wooden house picks up all sorts of composite materials and builds as you like. So, we saw a building for the "vest" of the old house are very "faces", street is simply a colorful garden. More interesting is that some designers to highlight the housing "core" materials precious, but also the wood ring texture painted in the "vest" on, show off! But, the entire building has the life, in front of us is radiant, the youth is lovely.
