DESIGN NAME: Mu House
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Space
INSPIRATION: The family that owns this property is a family of four. The original design only has four individual rooms and falls short of what they need. The designer adds three additional separate rooms and a multifunctional room when allocating more space to common areas. And this apartment faces the long riverbank and has a great view of mountains and rivers, also possess plenty of natural light which inspired the designer to arrange the space in this way.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The location of this work faces the long riverbank and has a great view of mountains and rivers, during the day and at night. The natural light inspires the designer to arrange the space in this way. From common areas to private space, and from shelves, decoration to furniture, all the design reveals a constant pattern of careful balance and mellow roundness that recreates our spatial sense.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The location of this work faces the long riverbank and has a great view of mountains and rivers, during the day and at night. The natural light inspires the designer to arrange the space in this way. The main challenge of this design is to make good use of scenery and natural light to create a sense of boundless horizon in the limited space. To that effect, the designer chooses the hue of grayish white for the wall of the entire house to create an atmosphere of comfort and elegance.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Each detail is crafted to bring out spatial quality and order. The designers professionalism is fully displayed in the arranged layers and color ratio of different materials. Space for a living is a square, and in using geometry as an analogy for life, family means circle.
Between square and circle is a life of struggle and pleasure. The symbols laid out by the designer in the space characterize this work and deliver the blessing to the family. When residents move between different parts of the square, they feel the fullness of their lives because of the love from the family.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge of this design is to make good use of scenery and natural light to create a sense of boundless horizon in the limited space. To that effect, the designer chooses the hue of grayish white for the wall of the entire house to create an atmosphere of comfort and elegance. From common areas to private space, and from shelves, decoration to furniture, all the design reveals a constant pattern of careful balance and mellow roundness that recreates our spatial sense.
