The entire space crowned with the concept of “gable”. When entering from a family of three, the first thing you see is a 6-meter-high gable, which is deliberately enlarged to try to pull everyone who came to visit back to their childhood and look up. I recall that in the middle of the gable wall can only be led to the second floor through a one-person staircase. The sacred sense of forming a family is inexplicabe. Surrounded by a group of mountain-like walls, the living room, children’s room, dining room, and bedroom are looming. The height of the space is gradually reduced. When it comes to the space of successful people, it enters a state of “unbounded”. There is no wall separation between each space, and it turns into a distinction between mountains, waters and terraces. During walking, feel the relationship between man and nature.

Xilinmen, Fuyi Furniture, JAB, Shufude, Zican, and Hongda settled in this space, and worked hand in hand with designers to create a lifestyle space presenting trend samples, inspiring ideas and inspiring ideas for furniture companies on how to accurately and effectively present their lifestyles.
