Water Team Design as Architects

I don't like being too classical, and of course, I don't like fashion or trendiness; I don't like glamour or insignificance; I like to be clumsy, but I don't like being too surprised by silence - because being surprised by silence can easily cause a sense of stagnation, which is too much for me; I don't like overly complicated lines and layers of addition, and I don't like reducing to nothing; The so-called Chinese and Japanese styles... if the style is fixed, I actually don't really like them. I hope to find a suitable point and degree among them.
— Mr. XIE

Timeliness is a difficult part of design to express, and one wants to create a sense of unfamiliarity, a sense of time. Convey the spiritual core or the materialization space of the founder's genes. Shuidingji has always been thinking about how space expresses the emotional support of temporality. Temporal design emphasizes persistence and adaptability, which is the cornerstone of creating a unique atmosphere for individuals in space.

I understand that good design should be able to withstand the test of time. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the variability of space, as the free streamline plane can adapt to the changing needs of the company at different stages. A classic and contemporary design can endure for a long time, be balanced and stable, and be independent of style.

Interestingly, the organic combination of daily work and private study creates a unique atmosphere, where the couple operates together while preserving independent thinking space. The wall between the office and private study seems to cross the gap between reality and ideals. The office section fully considers efficiency and future variable functional demands. From office furniture to integrated design of functional cabinets, choose ocean boards with strong plasticity and controllable environmental friendliness for efficient factory customization assembly design. Completed a unique visual presentation for a clothing creative company.

Mr. Xie study has fulfilled all my imagination of contemporary literati space. Imagine that the space can accommodate Mr. Xie attire, speech, hospitality, meeting people, writing, etc. It is a gentle contrast to relationships and a space centered around books. Not grabbing, not boring, but having power. It is temporal, it is Eastern, it is Western rhyme, ancient, contemporary. Readers should have a broad understanding of the past and present, integrate Chinese and Western cultures, and embrace diverse cultures while retaining cute paranoia. Design is more than just that. The study room is not an ancient study, not a public study, but a personal product under Mr. Xie personal aesthetic label. It is the heart that collides with people, books, and life.

I have always had this imagination in my mind that stepping on the worn floor after the fall of the year is the strange noise made by the old house in Paris stepping on the old floor. That's the notes, story, history, imagination. As well as touching the traces of materials such as concrete, teak, stone, and copper coated with paste, she does not need to dress up excessively delicately, and even allows for the existence of certain flaws. It's some kind of truth that you touch.
Mr. Xie was deeply involved in the entire project, and he sighed that he had fulfilled his many years of dreams. His heart - [with the study] - was also just my imagination!
