Nowadays, pets are occupying an increasingly important position in the lives of young people and have already become intimate family members living together with their owners. For designers, integrating the lifestyle and concept of human-pet coexistence into interior design is increasingly being valued. Different from the conventional design and layout of the living and dining rooms, taking advantage of the 3.3-meter floor height of the building, we carefully crafted a pet-friendly slide and connected it to the pet room, creating a "duplex space" for the dogs, which greatly demonstrated the interactivity and interest of the space with the pets. At the entrance hallway, a staircase installation was used as the hallway landscaping. The dogs can reach the "second-floor playing space" in the ceiling area through the staircase and then come to the living room space and the pet room via the slide, realizing the harmonious interaction among the space, people and pets. In the past, people were used to regarding the television as the core of the living room. However, with the differences in lifestyles and hobbies, the appearance of the living room has become diverse. For many collectors, the living room is an excellent exhibition and display place. The owners like to collect records. We adopted the design method of "removing the TV wall" and used glass cabinets to store and display the records and figurines that the owners like. The relatively spacious space gives the collections greater freedom, making the living room look like a privately-owned small art gallery, treasuring the owners' hobbies and poetic life. In response to the living room columns that couldn't be removed, we dealt with them ingeniously. We transformed the columns into an artistically shaped fireplace with "Bolivian Blue Luxury Stone", which instantly became an eye-catching "check-in spot at home". The sofa area faces the oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing light and shadow to enter the room and beautiful scenery to come into view, making both the indoor and outdoor scenes a landscape.
