Residential project / Wuxi, China

Charcoal cabinetry organizes a Wuxi home around shared and private rooms.

An original apartment plan and sixteen project photographs show a home where charcoal cabinetry meets white wall storage and small orange or red accents. The project offers a useful comparison between open display, concealed storage and room thresholds. The resident's name and exact residential-complex name are omitted.

01 / Plans and photographs

Read the original drawings.

The original dimensioned PNG is preserved byte-for-byte. The plan keeps its original Chinese and English labels, wall geometry and numbers.

The plan is a small original drawing, not a current construction document. Labels and measurements describe this project only. The study, dining and bedroom photographs broadly correspond to the labeled rooms, but exact camera positions and as-built dimensions are not proven.

Original dimensioned apartment plan with source labels
One plan shows living and dining, kitchen, study, bedrooms, wardrobes and baths. Chinese and English labels, walls and dimensions remain unchanged.

English room guide

The plan labels a central living room and dining area, a kitchen and smaller dining setting, a study with a piano, two bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and bathrooms. The photographs show corresponding room types and shared cabinetry finishes. They do not locate every camera on the plan or establish the construction specification.

The original drawing geometry and dimension notes remain traceable. Open each image to inspect it alongside the English guide. These archive drawings are not issued for construction.

02 / Evidence and decisions

Read the evidence together.

Where does the plan help?

Look for in the photographs
The original plan distinguishes the main living–dining core, enclosed kitchen, study with piano, bedrooms and wardrobe zone. The selected photographs show the same range of uses and recurring charcoal, white and orange cabinetry.

Carry into a new brief
Use a new measured plan to map which rooms need closed storage, which need display and where one cabinetry finish should continue across an opening.

How are shared rooms connected?

Look for in the photographs
Long dining and living views show white and dark cabinet walls at the room edges. A smaller round dining setting sits before glazing to the kitchen.

Carry into a new brief
Compare the sight lines and circulation needs before choosing full-height fronts, open shelves or a framed transition.

What changes in private rooms?

Look for in the photographs
The bedroom uses lit open niches and closed fronts at the headboard; the nearby passage uses tall wardrobe faces with a narrow accent shelf.

Carry into a new brief
Confirm the actual bed, door and wardrobe clearances, contents, lighting and fixing interfaces for a new project.

The comparison reads photographs and drawings from the same project. It is a design reference, not a measured survey for a new site.

03 / Room and detail

The living area balances white and dark cabinet planes.

The dark media recess, pale storage walls and side shelves divide closed storage from display. These are visual relationships in an archival home, not a verified panel or fixing schedule.

Living room wall with white panels and dark media inset
The living wall places a dark media recess inside a light, nearly full-height panel composition.
Living room seen from the dining threshold
From the dining side, a framed opening leads toward the lighter living room and balcony wall.
Media wall and open display beside the living seat
Open side shelving and a low dark recess divide display from the television setting.
Living seating with the orange study wall beyond
The view connects the living seat to a brighter study corner without claiming an exact camera position on the plan.
04 / Room and detail

Dining uses two scales of storage.

A long table connects to white cabinetry by the living room, while a small round table faces the kitchen glazing. The original plan shows both shared and smaller dining settings without proving the exact photographed viewpoint.

A long table meets white display and closed storage beside the main living area.
Round breakfast table in front of the kitchen glazing
A smaller round table fronts a glazed kitchen wall, with charcoal storage and an orange accent nearby.
Dining niche framed by charcoal cabinetry and orange fronts
From the circulation edge, the round table sits between a dark shelving plane and orange fronted wall.
05 / Room and detail

A dark frame makes the room threshold legible.

Artwork, dark timber-toned planes and an illuminated entry cabinet align the passage between rooms. A material sample and edge detail would be needed before specifying a new installation.

Detail of dark timber cladding at the room edge
A close view shows a continuous dark wood-grain enclosure; substrate and construction are not documented.
06 / Room and detail

The study combines work and display.

The plan marks a study with a piano. The photograph shows that instrument, a desk, pale doors and open charcoal shelving in a matching room program.

The study places a piano and writing desk opposite a bright orange wall.
White and charcoal built-in storage in the study
A second study angle shows the run of pale doors, open charcoal shelves and task table.
07 / Room and detail

Private rooms use light within darker fronts.

A wide bedroom view, close shelving detail, sitting corner and wardrobe passage show several levels of open and closed storage. The photographs are not used to infer hidden fittings or dimensions.

Bedroom with lit charcoal headboard storage
The private room uses a dark, illuminated shelf and cabinet wall behind the bed.
Close view of the lit bedroom shelving
The headboard wall alternates open lit niches with closed charcoal front panels.
Private sitting corner in front of cabinet wall
The sitting corner continues the charcoal cabinet language with a small red accent.
Wardrobe passage with a narrow red display shelf
A private passage combines tall fronts, an open red side shelf and a view toward the bed.
