Decoration demand
It keeps changing. # The designer has collapsed #
From three rooms to two rooms, from two rooms to three rooms; From one bathroom to two bathrooms, from two bathrooms to one bathroom ... from 50,000 and a half packs to 65,438+10,000 packs to 65,438+10,000 packs to 400,000 packs ... I just don't know what I want. Decoration is a process of continuous learning, self-awareness and strengthening family communication.
There are thousands of decoration companies, which ones have entered our field of vision?
From May 2065438 to May 2008, I began to look at the decoration one after another, and saw more than 20 people before and after, from foreman to independent designer, from unknown decoration company to listed company in the industry. They come from all kinds of harassing advertisements, friend introductions, online advertisements and so on. Regrettably, until the New Year's Eve, no cooperative relationship was established. Why? Maybe it's like a blind date I don't like each other. ...
-Various advertisements brought by information leakage-
Under the bombardment of various telephone advertisements and short message advertisements, I began to see the first decoration company in May 20 18. Most of the contacts are based on designers' free drawing as a selling point and the exclusive model houses in the community as a routine. Actually, it's all a lie. There is no model house.
But this kind, in general, they will have the plan and preliminary design of the whole community. For my newly decorated vegetable chicken, it doesn't hurt to have a look. But it is basically impossible to establish a cooperative relationship. I naturally don't like this business model, so I took the opportunity to learn from this decoration company and retreat.
-Introduction of acquaintances/friends-
For example, my friend recommended a decoration team to me, and the foreman also designed it. When I went to the scene, he was very good at small apartments and made several good suggestions-extra points. But I went to see the one they just installed and thought it might not be suitable for me.
Although the demand has been changing, what remains unchanged is that I clearly know that I need a home full of vigor and vitality.
-Internet platform-
Thanks to the Internet, information is more transparent and information asymmetry is gradually reduced. Like other industries, in addition to comprehensive platforms, there are vertical platforms, so I won't list them here. Anyway, I haven't started working yet, and the phone memory has been calling the police for a long time. This kind of decoration company, the vast majority are specialized in making network orders, small profits but quick turnover, the relatively low price is true, and the quantity wins. Well, I have another bad habit. I don't like eating big pot rice. This kind of food is also directly passing by. Goodbye.
There is also a new decoration company that uses sophisticated new media marketing to do standardized decoration. Looking at pictures is really attractive. The face value is in the front, and fans are screaming about how their city can't hold it. After reading it, I found many shortcomings, such as the price is not as low as advertised, the total price is flying at sixes and sevens, you can't add a little personalization, you can add money to everything. Sorry, I can't afford the so-called face value.
In addition, there are TV advertisements and bus advertisements. Personally, I have always rejected such bombing advertisements and directly ignored these companies or platforms.
It was not until 20 19 and 1 that I joined the decoration information community and learned about the design of Shi Bin. After observation and communication, I decided to let them go to see the house and make a plan, and finally signed a design contract, which is the first step of the long renovation road. How do we consider determining the decoration partner?
Works. Decoration design, design level is of course the first, good or not can only be reflected through past performance, all walks of life are like this. At first glance, Shi Bin's works are really amazing. Maybe I haven't seen the world before, and I was attracted at once. Or exaggerated, or flamboyant, or bright, or introverted, or simply comfortable ... Through the works, I can feel some personality attributes that seem to suit me, not sticking to one pattern.
People. Almost half a year before and after the renovation. During this half year, I had intensive contact, communication and differences with relevant staff. What should I do ... I once said that Mr. Huang has a comprehensive accomplishment among the designers I have seen, and there are no weak soldiers under him. Finally, I chose Miss Shi Bin, whose price suits me.
Miss designer received the demand for cooperation,
What have you thought about?
The original structure of the measuring room is relatively reasonable, but the cloakroom of the master bedroom is deformed and the area of the north second bedroom is too small. But it is gratifying that the three main spaces of the house have large-area south-facing windows, which makes me feel that there are still many possibilities in this space. Generally speaking, this is a very ordinary apartment in China.
Owner's demand. Female owners have a special request, that is, to add a bathroom on the basis of retaining three bedrooms and two halls, hoping to alleviate the use conflict caused by multiple people living in the future. The three rooms are the master bedroom, the second bedroom for the future baby, and the multifunctional room that can be used as a study or guest room. Keeping the Chinese kitchen design can better adapt to the oil fume problem caused by Chinese cooking.
Design ideas. I don't just want to get the measured floor plan and make some modifications on the original structure. My first thought is how to break the original building structure and make the whole space more flexible and interesting. At the same time, it meets the demand of adding a guest guard and solves the storage problem of entering the house, the cloakroom of the master bedroom and the north second bedroom.
65438+1October 19, after measuring the house, after on-site communication and preliminary design demand questionnaire, 65438+1October 30, I went to Shi Bin to see the first version of the design scheme. * * * made three sets of plans, and made three sets of plans on the premise that the house is full of load-bearing walls, which really surprised me. Because I have seen so many companies, I have long been visually tired along the way, and the load-bearing wall full of houses can't make any bright designs at all. Design scheme and communication of the first edition manuscript
-Scheme 1 ()
The designer said: rearrange the space, optimize the structure and use.
The load-bearing wall located in the south of the kitchen in the original residence is used as the storage area of the refrigerator and the open space of the porch to form a cloister structure, which makes each corridor bright and transparent. Guest toilets have been added in the kitchen and bathroom area, and they are lined up to the north on the basis of ensuring their use. As a leisure and other secondary space, the multifunctional study area can solve the lighting problem of the study by making light transmission design on the adjacent wall of the second bedroom and borrowing the sunshine from the second bedroom. Owner's feedback: the permeability of the whole space has been greatly improved, but there are several unacceptable points.
The kitchen is too small to operate, and the narrow dining table should be particularly inconvenient. Moreover, as a public passage, the moving line is not very good, the study/guest room is awkward, there is no window, and the privacy of borrowing light is not good-Scheme 2 ()
The designer said: keep the original structure and fine-tune.
A cloakroom was added in the original restaurant to solve the problem of insufficient storage at home. The dining room uses the compressed space of the original second bedroom and uses the original second bedroom as a study. Because the study is a multifunctional space, the requirement for privacy is not as high as that of the bedroom. It can be made into a semi-open structure with glass as partition to solve the lighting problem of the restaurant. Use part of the kitchen space to add a guest guard. Reorganize the original cloakroom and divide it into two cloakrooms, one of which will be given to the second bedroom in the north. Owner's feedback: 3 cloakrooms, which is simply a luxury house configuration. but
The kitchen turned to the dining room. Mr. Wang Can can't accept it. The original second bedroom is separated. After the guest borrows the kitchen, the kitchen is extremely embarrassed-Scheme 3 ()
The designer said: rearrange the space, optimize the structure and use.
Place the living room in the original master bedroom and enter the open space of the guest restaurant through an inclined aisle. Inclined walls not only increase the level of space, but also become more design-oriented. The kitchen and bathroom are upside down, and the kitchen is closer to the guest restaurant, which is convenient to use. The bathroom is designed with dry and wet separation, and the load-bearing structure and entrance corridor are used as the dry area of the bathroom. There is a separate entrance cloakroom and a larger master bedroom cloakroom. Transform the original master bedroom into a living room and a study, and use movable partitions between the living room and the study. When the study is not in use, the living room space can be expanded into a living room. Owner's feedback: sloping wall design, bold, chin off.
The hostess is quite interested in this set in general, especially in the last five years or so. When the baby is born and does not need a separate room, the current layout and comfort are excellent. Gentlemen who are conservative in tradition can't accept that after five years, the inclined wall will not change rooms, and the study/guest room will still be awkward and full of entanglements.
After the initial communication, I have a brand-new understanding of the profession of interior designer, so I can be so bold. However, due to the great differences in the understanding and acceptance of styles between husband and wife, designers are required to continue to optimize two of the three schemes, namely Scheme II and Scheme III. See the following figure 2- 1 and 2-2 for the optimization scheme.
But my husband and wife are still very controversial about the above two schemes. Husband can't accept that the second bedroom is destroyed, and he can't accept the switch between the master bedroom and the living room. There was no way to make him change his mind, so he had to change it himself, and finally reached an agreement to optimize the scheme without changing the original apartment structure, so there were two schemes: 3- 1 and 3-2. These two schemes still meet the design of two toilets.
The big structure is solved, and then there is the white-hot problem, the dispute between two toilets. Arguing, calm down and think about it. I seem to suddenly understand that we should decorate the house happily and rob the toilet in the future ... After detailed communication with the designer, we finally finalized the floor plan.
Summary and Re-starting of Decoration Design
-The designer said-
In the original manuscript, all three schemes add a guest toilet on the basis of ensuring three rooms and two halls, which solves the storage problem of the original structure as much as possible. However, with the in-depth communication with the owner and his wife, it is found that there are strong internal differences among the owners on issues such as adding toilets and adjusting the layout. After a long ideological struggle between husband and wife, I can only reluctantly give up my mental plan and make some fine-tuning on the original structure.
The idea of adding a bathroom is a very practical function for me personally. Therefore, in the process of communication, I still try my best to help the owners keep the guest guards. Even on the basis of using the original building structure, we still try to adjust the kitchen and bathroom area, compress the kitchen space and increase the guest bathroom, and even consider putting the guest bathroom in the cloakroom area of the study and using the toilet sewage pump to achieve the effect. Adjust it back and forth for 3-4 times only for the guest health area.
In the end, the owner gave up the idea of adding a bathroom, only added two sets of back-to-back lockers in the second bedroom area and a sideboard in the dining room, and moved the refrigerator to the sideboard, thus expanding the kitchen space. In the second bedroom area, in order to leave more space for the second bedroom, the different functions of lockers are used to compress the depth of the two groups of lockers as much as possible without affecting the use. The sideboard also uses the same method to maximize the use.
-The owner said-
The first link of decoration is design, so in the design process, the owner needs to cooperate effectively with the designer, so that the final design can incorporate more design elements to meet the needs of the owner. Of course, this is also a process of self-knowledge and constant running-in between husband and wife.
How to communicate with designers must first understand the working mode and habits of designers, whether to communicate well or communicate while doing. For example, our little sister is used to all communication, so when I don't particularly understand it, I feel that she is particularly inactive, doesn't communicate with her host, and works hard ... so there are some misunderstandings, but nothing can't be solved by effective communication. Poor, bad-tempered and demanding owners and designers also collapsed 100 times!
The relationship between designers and owners is to grow together, rather than relying solely on one side. However, in the process of communication between the two parties, the owner is a relatively passive party. Personally, designers should take the initiative to fill the owner's lack of information. On the other hand, if the owner has any questions, he must not accumulate them, especially when some of his needs are not met, he must communicate in time. Designers need to give professional and reasonable explanations and suggestions, rather than blindly catering to the owners. However, the owner should not be smart enough to command the designer. As a gift, the owner will insist on any abnormal needs and the designer will satisfy you.
Running-in and proper compromise between husband and wife
The decoration road where family members don't argue or quarrel is incomplete. We also had a fight over the decoration, which is complete. Fortunately, a relatively unified front was finally reached. I have always wanted two toilets, but my husband has always been very resistant. Because I have been looking at the decoration, I have always followed the two plans.
However, when he looked at the floor plan on the spot, he couldn't accept the run on other spaces caused by the toilet, the destruction of the good second bedroom, and the fact that if he didn't clearly enter the door, he would have to walk a long way to reach the living room ... According to my strong personality, I could have insisted on following my own wishes, but in line with the principle of respecting the participation of * * *, I could have obtained his consent at every step, coerced and spoiled.
Still invalid. All right, whatever you say, I'll compromise. I won't change the structure of the apartment and go back to the original apartment. I don't want two toilets and go back to my old apartment. But the follow-up style can mainly listen to me, "hey, hey, okay."
-Set out again-
After more than/kloc-0 months of communication, the floor plan was finally finalized, which was a long and unforgettable process. Next, start the renderings and construction. I hope that after the early running-in, the designers can grow up with us, play happily together and have an unforgettable and happy decoration trip.
