About ShiGuang Home
Murakami’s Simple Moments
Inspired by a story from Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, he talked about a simple, happy time. He felt this while cutting bread in his kitchen, listening to music, and watching the sunlight on his window. Thinking about this, I wanted to change how my client lived at home.
The homeowner was thinking about leaving her house. But then, she saw a home I had worked on ten years ago. By luck, we met and started talking about her new home. She trusted me a lot, and we began working together without drawing any plans first.
Making Personal Spaces
The house was big, but the family used to sleep all together in one room. The top floor was dark and not used much. I like to see how people live and help them make their homes better. So, I made six bedrooms for them. Five rooms have windows facing the sunny side, and one room faces the other way. We also made sure every room looked nice and had good furniture.
