A Warm Home

Project Location: Jufeng Jingdu Community, Baoshan District, Shanghai, China

Material Sources: Old wooden pallet boards from a factory; wooden boards from the recycling center of the apartment building

Material Processing Methods: Polishing, cutting, assembling, cleaning, and painting

A bedroom in a shared apartment. The rent is 2,000 yuan per month, and the tenant is a graduate student at Shanghai University. Since we didn’t want to spend a lot of money, we decided to use the limited funds we had to create a cozy atmosphere in the space. To achieve this, we used pallet boards as the primary material. The reason for choosing pallet boards is that they are uniformly sized, easy to assemble, and can be disassembled and reassembled as needed by removing and reattaching the boards and legs.
