QIRAN DESIGN GROUP was entrusted to conceive the show flat. Through adopting a natural design approach and combining simple, elegant tones with exquisite decorations, the design team created a serene and peaceful living space. The interior decoration design extends bezel-less elements of the building facade. Every line and every plane within the space are depicted in a careful and reasonable manner, either set at staggering heights or intersecting each other. Materials of different textures and hues integrate yet contrast with each other, thereby enriching visual effects and enhancing the sense of layering in the space. The living & dining area is set at the center of the space. The designers brought in several grille-like partitions, which separate different functional areas while also ensuring openness and transparency of the space to some extent. Flexible layout and comfortable scale help strengthen the interaction among family members, and at the same time create appropriate living scenes for daily activities. The space is interspersed with artworks and greenery, which together inject aesthetics and vitality into the space whilst evoking the dialogue between dwellers and the space and enhancing the living quality. Functional areas are laid out around the center of the space, and are given different hues and adornments based on specific users. The overall design produces an elegant and restrained Oriental-style poetry. All the details are meticulously refined, embodying an attitude towards life. The study room that allows for mediation, the bedroom that eases the body and mind, as well as the dining room for enjoying delicious food, all enable the dwellers to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, listen to the inner voice and release the mind. The outdoor terrace beautifies the living environment, and creates a free and romantic ambience. Here dwellers can feel the change of the four seasons and enjoy leisure time. In general, the design returns to the essence of life, cares about people’s inner needs and carries the dwellers’ expectations of life. Warm, simplistic yet exquisite scenes evoke emotions, enliven the space and eventually generate an intimate home.

‘An Indiana woman was arrested after she allegedly toilet-papered her new neighbors’ home and left a hate-filled racist note on their door, according to the Kokomo Tribune.

Debra Cantwell, 63, of Greentown, Ind., was taken into custody on Thursday after a man reported her to the Howard County Police, saying he found a racist note on the door of his family’s new home, which they had yet to move into. The letter was directed towards the couple’s child, who is biracial. The father assumed the note was Cantwell’s work because she had expressed concern about the family to the previous owner.

“No N****** wanted in this neighborhood – THIS IS A WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD,” the note began.

Cantwell is now facing misdemeanor charges of intimidation and criminal mischief after admitting to deputies on Oct. 18 that she wrote the letter and toilet-papered the family’s yard. The Tribune reported that she was also hit with a protection order on Friday that states “stalking has occurred” and prohibits her from contacting the new neighbors.

According to the arrest affidavit, Cantwell told authorities, “I mean, blacks get away with it every time.” She added about the toilet-papering: “Just rage — I was trying to vent.” She went on to say, “I was just trying to let them know that they weren’t really … welcome as far as us. I just needed to let off some steam.”

Cantwell declined to apologize fully, but did say she intends to seek counseling, the Tribune reported.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family moving in to pay legal fees and to install a fence and a security system at their new home. Part of the post, written by the mother, reads: “How do I tell my child that this was done? What words do I say to let him know it is not ok and this doesn’t represent this town, where everyone that meets him likes him?”’

In daily life, most of our time is spent in living spaces. No longer just requesting peace and comfortableness, more and more modern people are seeking to showcase their aesthetic taste in their homes. People, space and art integrate and interact in “home”, which shapes ideal lifestyles.

The project is a model villa located in Hangzhou, China. Through incorporating art and humanism into the space, it presents the owner’ taste of life from different perspectives, and sets an example for contemporary large-scale residences.

Featuring metal textures and drawing on the Oriental philosophy of minimalism, the foyer is awash with an elegant yet magnificent ambience. The unique chandelier adds distinctive geometric lines and flexibility to the space.

Opposite to the foyer is the open and bright reception room. The leather sofas are well matched with the marble backdrop wall characterized by clear grain. The flexible patterns on the carpet balance the rigidness of the space and inject vitality into it together with the light-green transparent chandelier. Daylight penetrates the soft gauze curtain and shines onto the interior, producing a cozy atmosphere for the owner and guests to chat.

The working room is also beside the foyer. A matte glass sliding door ensures its privacy, and the simple desktop, comfortable chair and refreshing green plants together render a tranquil and relaxing working environment.

The cozy living room is closely connected to the reception room. Its suspended ceilings resemble ripples, which add flexibility and vigor to the space. Geometric shapes of the carpet and end tables balance the space and enrich the sense of layering in it.

Through a sliding door, it arrives at the dining room. The gray marble flooring is steady and stylish, and the bar counter for making mixed drinks on the side reflects the owner’s taste. The dining table has a round shape, which fits into Chinese people’s eating habits. Besides, the ripples-like suspended ceilings and the unique pendant lamp are perfectly coordinated, generating an intimate dining atmosphere.

A staircase leads to the second floor, where relatively private bedrooms are situated. At one end of the staircase hall is the master bedroom, which features soft hues and tasteful textures. The interior design doesn’t excessively strive for stylishness. The hidden lines and unique grain produce a cozy ambience. The gray-green backdrop wall of the bed is a visual highlight, which presents the transition of hues with the dark-colored carpet. A dark turquoise leather sofa chair is placed beside the window, adding a finishing touch to the space. Besides, an abstract painting is hung on the wall opposite to the bed, which manifests the owner’ fabulous taste.

The guestrooms continue the tranquility, exquisiteness and soft tone of the master bedroom. In addition, the perfect match and mix of various elements ensures unity of the overall design whilst showing changes on details, which provides the guests with intimate experiences.

The underground floor can be reached via the staircase, the overall tone of which is set by gray marbles. In the multifunctional activity area, the white bar counter and long wooden table can satisfy various demands for family and friend gatherings. The semi-open wine & cigar area features a large area of mirror, which visually extends the space. The low-profile black sofa gives people a mysterious yet luxurious impression. And the exquisite wall cabinet offers ample space to display wine, cigars and related items.

The audio / video room (also functions as a karaoke room) is set underground as well. The gray walls and dark green furniture make the space peaceful, while the gold lines inject flexibility and vitality into it, making it suitable for various family recreation and friend gathering activities.

In short, the project perfectly interprets good aesthetic taste, presents a free spatial temperament and the inner spirit of the living space, and also showcases a vision for a better life.”
