“Thinking is the greatest pleasure of human” said playwright Brecht. This is also the favorite thing of Leo Hu.
When we come into the office, we saw him sitting there, wrapped in the black jacket, and seems to be a quiet guy.
But in the next communication we find that he was in fact quite a friendly person and was very eager to share with us all his rational thoughts and insights on design. After in-depth talking, we find he is a wise man.
After graduated from school, he also worked in the famous design companies and now he found WJ Design. During the past ten years, each work designed by Leo Hu has never only been a product of the first appearance, but rather a long-term consideration.

The project of MISA Studio located in a hollow old factory. Between the two plants is a shipping channel, the top left the original lightweight steel roof. Client MISA is the founder of Rokid Artificial Intelligence. His demand is very easy. A wood workshop with temporary residence,which can support a big dog, and park his Ural (a motorcycle).There are very bright atrium and another internal courtyard occupied the entire one-third area. It provides a contact with nature. Indoor space outdoor, natural through the Light Court was introduced into the interior, the new form of life has also assumed a serious side. “In this case, the design that contact with the natural life is more important than convenience.”
From a cold empty house into a warm comfortable home, it is inseparable from the aborative design and decoration. Nowadays, interior decoration is not only a big market in real estate, but also the only way to achieve the ultimate goal of a successful home environment.
On 8th April, Youcai Business School 2017 Shanghai Station, which is sponsored by the China Real Estate Purchase Platform and Sina Real Estate, invited three speakers from Wanjing Design, Zhongliang Real Estate Group and 3Trees Paint. It is a detailed share of the trend of real estate from different perspectives of designer, estate agent, and supplier. The audiences are from more than 20 well-known real estate companies, such as Jinke, Yanlord Land, Hutchison Whampoa, Xiangyu Group, Greenland Group, Helenberg Group, Blue Real Estate, Zhongliang Real Estate Group, Shimao Group, Sincere Group.
As one of the lecture speakers, the founder and design director from Wanjing Design, Leo Hu thinks that from the development of residential sample room, we found that the requirement of residential design is about basic demand, style, and culture and eventually back to life itself. Regarding the inner decoration, previously it was 70% hard decoration and 30% soft decoration, but now those figures have reversed. The way to express the value of a residence through New Chinese, Modern, and North European styles are no longer able to meet the modern needs of a home decoration.
Focus on life itself is the ultimate pursuit of modern design. Modern residential sample room should focus more on the expression of life itself, rather than a decoration form. In order to get a higher sense of the residential value and to turn to a cultural thinking and living condition, we shall consider the architectural design, landscape design, interior design and soft design as a whole design process, to make both the in and outsides of a property consistent with one another.
The project is a high-level personal studio of an artificial intelligence company, located in a hollow old factory building. Its design is to be in the moment work and living in a single unified environment will be the city’s abandoned space into a multi-dimensional interesting living space.Owners demand is very easy. The design of a wood workshop with a temporary residence. It can support a large dog, and you can park Ural (a motorcycle).
The original space between the two plants and the space is a shipping channel, the top left the original lightweight steel roof. The original structure of the house, space, use, does not fit existing design requirements. How to reshape the form of space in a new living experience is critical to the overall design. Designers insert a box-shaped space divided into three functional space in the original application for the second floor of the fixed-level high school , and in the space into the two courtyards.
Designers want to create such a rich experience of residential space. There is no good environment around this building from the outside. But into the interior will find it , because there are very bright atrium and another internal courtyard occupied the entire one-third area. It provides a contact with nature, and reveals all aspects of nature, is the center of work and life, but also a device replaces the disappearing light, wind, rain and other natural objects in the modern city . Sky light infiltrates into yard, casting a deep shadow on the wall and yard.
Indoor space outdoor, natural through the Light Court was introduced into the interior, the new form of life has also assumed a serious side. “In this case, the design that contact with the natural life is more important than convenience.” The main function of the first floor for the wood workshop, the entire space without any partition space, the structure of the column and the concrete directly constitute the main visual elements of space. Through a huge automatic sliding door, Ural can be directly into the internal space, and for the wooden work area provides a flexible workspace.
The second floor is the reception room and open kitchen and living room.Living room, reception room and open kitchen different functional areas here are organic combination .The first floor staircase and the second floor opening walkway will be connected to the two functional space. The external area of the reception area can be moved open, connecting the indoor atrium and outdoor view of the landscape.
Bedroom door opened, through an inner courtyard, into the most intimate living space, in a small space with more rich empty experience.
Leave extra space on the third floor to provide more possibilities for use of the light, from the redesigned planking into the interior space, showing a rich light and shadow.
