RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Reading books to search for the classic European garden style. After deciding the model, the grass-green wallpaper and warm light came to my mind. To reproduce the old times glory, we bought a 1920s writing desk from UK. Hoping to provide a good feeling while visitors use it.
CHALLENGE: The designer uses the long narrow spatial scale to divide the domain into two, one side as the office, the lavatory and the booth area, the other side as the display area, counter and dining space. In order to achieve spatial interflow and visual penetration, there is no cubicle, instead by lightings, home accessories and different material splicing of the floor (wood and stone) to distinguish function attributes.
