Amidst the pressures of modern life, finding a space that offers serenity and warmth—like the gentle glow of a holiday afternoon—is a cherished luxury. "霞光沐日" was designed with this vision, creating an environment where light and space converge to evoke tranquility, comfort, and romance.



The design masterfully orchestrates the interplay of light and shadow. Blinds with subtle gaps precisely control the flow of light, adding depth and softness to the interior. Unique decorative brickwork introduces geometric patterns that create a sense of visual order, while glass blocks diffuse sunlight into a gentle, rosy glow. This combination creates a dynamic dance of light and shadow, enriching the atmosphere with poetic, ever-changing scenes that reflect the rhythms of daily life.



The first-floor public area employs minimalist design principles to remove barriers, creating an open and inviting space. Openings around the staircase and exterior walls seamlessly integrate the entrance, living room, dining area, and backyard into a continuous environment. An uninterrupted wooden floor unifies these spaces, providing a versatile setting where family members and pets can experience both independence and connection. This thoughtful design fosters a harmonious balance between shared and private moments, enhancing the home’s warmth and vitality.



On the second floor, the master suite features herringbone parquet flooring and American country-style moldings, creating a luxurious yet cohesive space. A recessed sofa nook by the window offers a quiet retreat for reflection or companionship. The master bathroom combines bathing and toilet areas into distinct, private zones, ensuring an elevated level of comfort and privacy.



The third floor serves as a multifunctional space combining a public hallway, a girl’s room, and a laundry area. A strategically placed skylight introduces natural light and fresh air to the otherwise windowless staircase, enhancing the connection to the outdoors. The girl’s room retains the charm of its original slanted ceiling, with integrated cabinetry and soft, diffused light creating a cozy, attic-like retreat.



Overall, "霞光沐日" blends elegance, functionality, and innovation, crafting a home that offers both personal sanctuary and vibrant communal spaces, tailored to the rhythms of daily life.
