Chapter Ninety-Nine: Manor Crisis (8)
What Zuo Zai visited now is the first villa designed by Cheng Yan for Huo's Manor, which was previously said to be too modern by Sita. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is a four-storey villa.
Huo's manor in London, each building has a swimming pool in the courtyard, but the one in front of Zuo Zaixian does not.
In the space that was supposed to be designed as a swimming pool, there is a U-shaped pool, and the U-shaped pool uses fluorescent three-dimensional drawings, so that you can see the vast night sky during the day and the starry sky shining at night. There is a mechanism at the bottom and top of the halfpipe, the device at the bottom is opened, the halfpipe will turn into a wave pool, the device at the top will be opened, and the top of the halfpipe will be covered with a huge trampoline.
The trampoline is also painted in three-dimensional shape, depicting a cliff. Every time you jump, you can feel the thrill of bungee jumping above the abyss.
In fact, if you don't consider the maintenance and maintenance of this U-shaped pool, Cheng Yan can add a water filling function, so that the U-shaped pool has the function of a swimming pool.
However, in order to add the function of the pool, this U-shaped pool needs to be maintained from time to time, which is not part of Cheng Yan's design concept.
This villa, from the exterior to the interior, is only black and white.
The exterior wall protrudes in the shape of a white wave, while the inner part is dominated by black load-bearing columns and large floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The interior part is also minimalist modern style, without a little extra color, not a single piece of superfluous furniture, no point light source, only a piece of light source. Cheng Yan brought Zuo another iPad.
Sitting on the couch, or from any corner of the home, you can control the entire set of equipment in your home.
From kitchen appliances, air conditioning systems, audio-visual systems to lighting systems and automatic curtains, everything is under control with just one click.
Smart home is a trend, and if the design is too avant-garde because of this, it is a bit of a layman.
On the left, I will see the master bedroom designed by Cheng Yan.
The master bedroom occupies the entire third floor. On either side of the master bedroom are two dressing rooms of equal size. It seems that one is for the male protagonist and the other is for the female protagonist.
Who dictates that only women can have their own cloakroom?
Because these two cloakrooms are of the same size and the color is uniform, the male and female protagonists are almost the same.
The master bedroom has a large bathroom, as well as two small study rooms. These are all normal.
To be avant-garde, it may be mainly that there is no bathtub in the bathroom of the master bedroom.
What is the connection between the absence of a bathtub and the avant-garde?
Originally, there was none.
But Cheng Yan designed the bathtub on the outside of the bathroom, in the center of the master bedroom.
Normally, there is only one focal point in the center of the master bedroom, and that is the bed, but the master bedroom designed by Cheng Yan has two focal points, the bed and the bathtub.
According to common sense, everyone takes a bath in the bathroom.
The bathroom designed by Cheng Yan has a shower room and a sauna room, as well as a drying area. The drying area is not to dry clothes but to dry people, and after taking a shower in this bathroom, you don't need a bath towel at all, and you stand in the drying area for a minute, and everything is dry from head to toe.
The bathtub may be something that many people will have at home, but the frequency of use is extremely low. After all, bathing is a time-consuming thing, and if there is no special person to take care of it, you have to clean up the bathtub for half a day after washing, which is inconvenient.
People who buy a manor are generally unlikely to need to clean the bathtub themselves.
Zuo Zai likes Cheng Yan's design very much, if you want to make taking a bath a really toned thing, there is no way to put the bathtub in the bathroom.
The walls of the master bedroom are made up of a large area of black and sixteen white square color blocks. These white patches are distributed throughout the room, with one piece directly above the bed and bathtub.
There is no television in the room, and there are no prominent electronic devices.
But it's all an illusion.
Holding the iPad with the central control system in your hand, each of the sixteen white squares in the room can be turned into a projection screen. TV, games, audio, video, these screens can play the same content, or they can display different content on each screen.
You can sit on the bed and watch the screen in front of you, or you can lie on the bed and look at the screen on the ceiling.
You can sit in the bathtub and play a game across the street, or you can lie in the bathtub and watch a movie on the ceiling.
The projection screen can also be flipped, and it is completely easy to practice yoga while watching TV while doing a handstand.
You can choose what to play on the screen, you can lie on the bed and play the same game on two different screens.
Of course, the bathtub and bed are big enough that if the host and the hostess want to play games together in the bathtub or go to bed together, there is no pressure.
In fact, because the interior of this house is only black and white, the design of the cloakroom is also very neutral, accommodating two male protagonists, or two female protagonists, is also no pressure.
"Only someone like Brother Yan who can live can design a house like this." Zuo Zai particularly likes Cheng Yan's design.
"Thank you for the recognition." Cheng Yan can see that Zuo Zai really likes his design.
"Brother Yan, did you really not design the swimming pool? It's not quite your style. Zuo asked Cheng Yan again.
"The pool is upstairs." Cheng Yan smiled and took the left to go up again.
Left followed Cheng Yan to the fourth floor, the fourth floor has a billiard table, fitness area, but there is no swimming pool.
The interior space on the fourth floor is a little smaller than the other floors, and then there is a 360-degree balcony that surrounds the exterior wall. The walls of the balcony on the fourth floor are also a little higher than the other floors.
Zuo Zai wanted to go to the balcony to see, but he couldn't find where the balcony door was.
Cheng Yan took Zuo Zai to a piece of floor-to-ceiling glass, but Zuo Zai still didn't see how to get out.
Cheng Yan took the central control iPad and opened a layer of glass doors, and then opened a second layer of sealed glass doors.
"Oh my God, Brother Yan, you're not going to turn the entire balcony into an infinity pool, are you?" Zuo Zai felt that Cheng Yan's design was really a surprise.
Cheng Yan looked at Zuo Zai with a smile on his face, and the building he is now taking Zuo Zai to see is the first project he took on as a designer, and he was most satisfied with the work.
It's just that when Cheng Yan won the project in the competition, he didn't know that this was the real estate of Zuo Zai's "netizens".
The manor designed by Cheng Yan has been renovating the fifth building, and the first building is the most characteristic of Cheng Yan. Because the other four pools are all in the courtyard.
But no matter where the pool is designed, the bathtub is all designed in the center of the master bedroom.
"Second brother, you were born to be a designer, for so many years, you have been making scented candles, it is really too burying your talent." Zuo Zai felt sorry for Cheng Yan.
"If your Uncle Cheng had such insight, I would probably have been a designer for many years." Cheng Yan replied with a smile.
When Cheng Yan graduated from college, he was forced by Cheng Fengchun to help in his family's spice company.
If Cheng Yan hadn't returned to the family business at that time, but stayed in the United States as a designer, he might not have fallen in love with Zuo Zai, and he wouldn't have had so many things that happened later.
