The most notable feature of all-in-one design services is breaking the fragmented state of various stages in traditional renovations. I remember last year when helping Ms. Zhang transform her school district house, a project originally requiring coordination with six suppliers was completed 28 days earlier through internal coordination by the all-in-one team. In this model, the lead designer is like a symphony conductor, perfectly coordinating the instruments of plumbing, carpentry, soft furnishings, and so on.
Our team meets with material suppliers every Wednesday for selection meetings, allowing clients to lock in quarterly discounted prices in advance. During last year’s Double Eleven shopping festival, we saved the lighting system budget for 23 clients through group procurement, averaging a savings of 8,600 yuan per household. This centralized operation's cost advantage is something individual renovations find hard to achieve.
During our first meeting, I always guide clients through a lifestyle questionnaire. Once, I discovered Mr. Wang had collected over 300 bottles of wine, and I designed a temperature-controlled wine cellar specifically for him. In the proposal confirmation phase, we utilized 1:1 ratio AR displays, and clients often exclaimed upon wearing the equipment: this is exactly what I wanted!
In a villa project we completed last week, we updated progress videos in a WeChat group daily. This transparent communication allowed Mrs. Li, who was on a business trip abroad, to check in real-time; she mentioned that watching the bare shell transform bit by bit into the design was even more fulfilling than watching a drama.
Last year, we encountered a tricky case: the client wanted an open kitchen but could not remove the load-bearing wall. We cleverly extended the island table with a folding window system, satisfying the need for a cooking isolation while preserving the openness of the space. Good design must be rooted in actual construction conditions, and this case later won a gold award for space transformation in the Asia-Pacific region.
In the renovation of old houses, we adhere to the principle of prioritizing concealed works. Like last month’s renovation of a 1990s old house, where we first updated the entire house's galvanized pipes. Although the client felt it unnecessary at the time, he came to understand our efforts when he heard the supervisor say this plumbing would last another 30 years during acceptance.
By analyzing data from 187 cases over the last three years, we discovered that booking main materials six months in advance can save 12% of costs. When helping technology park executives renovate last year, we locked in imported flooring that was to be installed at the end of the year in March, saving 30,000 yuan by taking advantage of the brand clearance prices.
Our budget sheet is detailed down to each socket location; a client who is an accountant remarked after reviewing it: it’s even more detailed than our company’s cost accounting! This transparent list management has reduced the incidence of additional items from the industry average of 35% to 8%.
Last typhoon season, traditional renovation teams faced delays due to personnel reallocation, while we used the fully in-house workers model and ensured the timely delivery of 32 projects through an intelligent scheduling system. This stability led to particular satisfaction for Dr. Chen, a client who is a doctor, who said: the surgery room-level progress control is reliable!
The variable children's room designed for families with two children recently received great reviews: it allows for a free switch between bed/play area/study area through a rail system. Client Ms. Lin joked: this design understands children's growth needs better than I do! Our team attends the Milan Furniture Fair every year to gather inspiration, ensuring that customized solutions are both practical and cutting-edge.
After reaching a strategic partnership with local building material markets, the materials available for clients expanded from 2000+ SKUs to 5000+. Last week, during a tile selection for a young couple, the designer found some discontinued inventory of trendy terrazzo in the warehouse, saving 240 yuan per square meter. This advantage of a resource pool allows our solutions to always surprise others.
Homeowners are advised to first conduct a family activity flow simulation: by using their phones to record three days of home activities, they can clearly identify space pain points. Last week, when helping a retired teacher with renovations, we discovered through video that he had to walk through the living room six times a day to get his medication, leading us to design a rotating medicine cabinet where he now just needs to turn around for easy access.
When inspecting construction sites, don't just look at model rooms; surprise checks on active construction sites provide a more real sense. I instruct clients to focus on three details: whether materials are categorized while stored, whether fire extinguishers are within their validity period, and whether workers are wearing their identification badges. These small aspects often reflect management levels the best.

The ecological wall system launched this year integrates humidity regulation, odor elimination, and antibacterial functions, and tests show a formaldehyde purification rate as high as 93%. Combined with an underfloor air system, it allows asthmatic client Mr. Liu to finally breathe easily.
The magnetic separation walls in development, controllable through an APP, can adjust light transmittance. By day, they function as panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and at night transform into a private bedroom. This kind of black technology is set to redefine how spaces are defined.
