At the dazzling intersection of Jing'an Temple and Huaihai Road, Cuihu Tianyi presents a unique location and serene environment that defines the essence of the pinnacle lifestyle in Shanghai. This time, PUHUI Design has created a private residence for a long-time friend here - understated yet full of brilliance. With mid-century furniture as the gentle texture and Eastern philosophy as the healing spirit, the home becomes an island where both body and mind can find tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

From the moment you step into the foyer, the space begins to tell its story. A home is more than just a place to rest; it is a continuous journey of emotional healing. Taking healing scenarios as the guiding thread, Puhui weaves a soft yet powerful emotional network throughout the space with old wood, natural fabrics, delicate pottery, and original artworks—allowing the mood of returning home to slowly settle from the bustling city and embrace tranquility.

Ample natural light filters through the white vertical striped curtains, gently transforming the sky and clouds outside the window into a serene backdrop for the interior. The off-white sofa stretches like a cloud; fresh fruits and vase flowers on the old wood coffee table, and the lush green plants in the corner all tell a story: True luxury lies in having a daily life nourished by sunlight, plants, and beautiful objects right in the heart of the city. Let your home be a haven for both body and soul.

An antique folding screen from Japan’s Meiji period, set against a gold silk backdrop, embodies the understated sophistication of old money aesthetic. The aesthetic texture of a home always reveals its restrained yet unique charm in the subtle details of daily life. Slow down the pace of life and pay close attention to the quiet expressions of your furniture and utensils.

The aesthetics of the home is always in the minutiae of daily life, showing its introverted and unique flavour. Why not slow down the pace of life and pay attention to the hidden expression of furniture. The balcony honestly holds the traces and warmth of life itself, serving as a sincere nook for the residents to commune with the sky, light and their inner thoughts. As the daytime bustle fades beneath the skyline of the buildings, the city’s lights and the orange-red twilight of the firmament fold into a vast, profound backdrop.

Let design recede into the background, as materials, light and everyday objects jointly enact the most authentic rituals of life. When the kitchen and dining area becomes a serene space that connects socializing and repose, the mundane and the poetic, every detail speaks of the solemnity and profound affection for daily life.

The silence of objects transforms into a ritual of mindful living. By blending the spirit of the Western hearth with the Zen philosophy of Eastern tea ceremony, it creates a sanctuary that nurtures both body and soul. Here, the flickering firelight, the steam from tea, the rustle of pages, and the shifting daylight together compose the most soothing melody of the day for its dwellers.

The tea room and study are conceived as an open, interconnected whole, devoid of partition walls or doors. Through the subtle interplay of materials, light, and furniture arrangement, they gently delineate two distinct states of mind while maintaining an unimpeded flow of sight and atmosphere. Breaking away from traditional stereotypes, the concept of ‘a collector's drawing room’ seamlessly integrates book collections, art, relaxation and contemplation, creating a sanctuary for the soul that combines intellectual depth with the warmth of everyday life.

All disturbances cease here, where the bedroom offers absolute privacy and a sense of security.Within these walls, design and materiality quietly recede, leaving only the body and mind to find wholeness in profound tranquillity. This sanctuary is not merely a resting place for the physical form, but a temple where the soul is reborn and restored each night.
