This flat in Pudong, Shanghai is about 220 square-meter, which is not small. However, with the suggested floor plan given by the sales office, the public space of the living room and dining room is reduced to a small size to increase the functional area of the bedrooms, which makes it look like a 100-square-meter flat. Nevertheless, from the very beginning, the owner wanted his home to have a sense of "emptiness", which formed the initial motivation of the design.

这套位于上海浦东的平层公寓大约220平米，在人们的观念里并不算小，在售楼处给出的建议平面中，为了增加卧室的功能空间面积，客餐厅公共空间被缩减到很小，看起来100平米的公寓没两样。然而业主从最开始，就希望自己的家能有一种“空旷”之感，这形成了设计的初始动机。

After releasing the bedroom space and expanding the public space, the design begins with an imagined center of the house. Around the center, three long cabinets are installed, defining several zones such as the entrance, kitchen-dining zone, living room, guest bedroom and bathroom, and master bedroom. In the end, the center becomes a hub space, an existence of emptiness, an undefined void.

将卧室空间释放出来，公共空间扩大后，设计始于一个想象的/房子的中心。围绕着这个中心，三个长形柜子如风车状布置，限定出玄关、厨餐厅、客厅、客卧、卫生间、主卧等几个区域。而这个中心则成为一个枢纽空间，一个空旷的存在，一个未被定义的中心。

The three cabinets integrate the functions of console cabinet, bathroom cabinet, kitchen cabinet, TV cabinet. In order to make the public area appear more transparent and empty, these cabinets are designed as floating objects which do not touch the ceiling or the floor (except for the kitchen cabinets that are put to the floor for functional reasons). As a result, the ceiling and floor is continuous through the public area, and the overall space appears emptier. The dark wooden veneer adds the heaviness to the cabinet which contrasts with its floating gesture.

三个柜子分别集成了入门玄关柜、客卫台盆柜、 橱柜、电视柜和置物台的功能。为了让公共区域 显得更通透空旷，这些柜子被设计成上不到天花，下不到地面的漂浮的形体（除了厨房的橱柜 因为功能原因而落地）。于是天花和岩板地面的 延伸感增强，整体公共区域显得更加空旷。黑色木制纹理增加了柜体的重量感，和其漂浮的形态形成反衬。

Except for the three black cabinets, the materials in the whole flat pursue a natural and rustic feeling, mainly in natural wood color, white and beige. Fine craftsmanship can be seen in the details of extra-large panels of sintered stone floor, frameless doors and flush finished skirtings. In this way, minimalism is not a budget-saving strategy, as is quite common in the market, but a pursued design aesthetics. The formal logic of the bedroom space is consistent with the common area. Moreover, the linen fabric is introduced to add warmth. Altogether, the design pursues the feeling of rustic and natural, which is our understanding of the "poetic dwelling" coined by Martin Heidegger.

除去三个黑色柜体外，全屋内材料追求自然和质朴的感受，以原木色、白色和米白色为主。大板幅岩板通铺地面、无框隐形门和平嵌式踢脚线让“极简”区别于“赤贫”，于细节处见工艺的精良。 在卧室空间在形体语言与公区保持统一的前提下，融入空间的麻布面料与各种光交互，编织出海德格尔笔下的“诗意的栖居”。
