Suzhou Tongli Villa | Chen Kezhi

The deepest joy in the world：In the fallen time, there is a home, and what I long for is a place where I can slow down my breathing and settle my emotions.

The courtyard is quiet, watching the light move on the ground, flowers fall in between, the door is not closed, and the wind comes in naturally. When sitting without speaking, one may feel that nothing is as good as here. Life is not just about living, but about falling, being seen, and stabilizing silently.

Don't panic even on rainy days, let the water drop by drop, fall on the floor tiles illuminated by the lights, disperse, and then gather again; The room didn't turn on the lights either, only watching the fine and scattered shimmers floating. Looking up, there were two walls of plain mud, with a faint gray shadow; Deep down, there is a warm pine wood that neatly stores the noise。

The designer said, "I have worked on so many projects, and I have never been so moved by the joy of the homeowners after any of them landed

This joy does not come from the designer's "sense of completion", but from the homeowner's "sense of use" of the space - she began to slowly read this home, seeing it as an extension of her body, a rhythm of daily life, and living with it as a natural state.

Whether a space is upscale or not is never judged by whether the materials are expensive or the furniture is neat, but by whether the homeowner is willing to stay and open their heart to coexist with the space. And she, willing. Not only was she willing, but she also entrusted her emotions, stories, memories, and even silence to this space. She is not 'using' it, but 'conversing' it. And this space did not disappoint her either.

The end of design is not the work, but whether the person who truly lives in it, from morning till night, always coexists with the space in a comfortable, peaceful, and relaxed manner.
