Parlor of Quzhou · Jinchen Mansion, 129 sqm

This is a gentle, soothing home space defined by a creamy vintage style. It merges the warmth of creamy finishes with the textural richness of retro aesthetics. Raw materials such as exposed concrete beams, columns, and travertine temper the softness of upholstered fabrics, reinterpreting vintage aesthetics in a way that responds to contemporary living needs. The result is an urban sanctuary that embodies both relaxation and a sense of ritual.

Spanning 129 square meters, the space features an open-plan layout that removes barriers between the living room, dining room, and kitchen, optimizing both natural light and the flow of movement. From built-in cabinetry to furnishings, every element is carefully tailored to support a range of daily activities—storage, socializing, and rest alike.

The visual palette is grounded in off-white and warm brown, enhanced by materials such as wood, marble, and velvet to add depth and texture to the space. Natural wood is used for both flooring and cabinetry, introducing a subtle sense of age and timelessness. Curved ceilings, linear light strips, and artistic pendant lights skillfully minimize the visual impact of structural beams. Circular niches, combined with vintage-style lighting and open shelving, further strengthen the mid-century vintage narrative. A cream-colored sofa paired with accent cushions in contrasting hues balances the composition, evoking a warm and soothing spatial ambiance.

The project innovatively preserves the original concrete beams and columns as key visual elements, turning structural components into aesthetic highlights. Functionally, it incorporates an open-plan kitchen and dining area, floating storage systems, and integrated appliances, maximizing spatial efficiency within a limited footprint. This achieves a timeless, refined, and warm spatial quality—addressing the practical needs of modern family life while offering a model for similar upgrade-oriented residences that balance visual appeal with execution.
