How to promote rural revitalization starting from "going home"? How can the elderly live in peace, the wanderers return home, and the countryside be revitalized in a harmonious way?
In the eighth episode of the seventh season of "Dream Renovator", designer Sun Huafeng once again partnered with Hengjie, the only officially designated bathroom brand in "Dream Renovator", to jointly contribute to rural revitalization.
Chali Ancient Village in Sanmenxia, Henan Province is a typical "hollow village". Young people travel far away to work hard, while the elderly cannot leave their hometown. My grandparents, who are over eighty years old, are the last residents of one of the natural villages. Their cave dwelling has been in disrepair for a long time, easily collects dust, and has extremely poor lighting. The cave dwelling next door belongs to Mr. He, who has left his hometown and hopes to return to his hometown to start a business. To this end, the local government commissioned the Menggai program team to renovate cave dwellings and build B&B model houses to create employment opportunities for this decaying ancient village and regain its popularity.
The ancient village cave dwellings were renovated to light up the road back home
In order to create a B&B with both regional characteristics and operability, designer Sun Huafeng first determined a renovation plan that would maintain the original cave dwelling style and integrate modern architecture into it. He drew on the maintenance methods of ancient city walls and used a special soil solidifier to solidify the cave walls. This not only preserved the texture, but also solved the stubborn problem of old rammed earth walls falling off, dusting off and easily collapsing.
For the newly added buildings, the designer chose traditional rammed earth as the exterior facade, and used a large amount of glass to supplement the walls, allowing the thick rammed earth and transparent glass to form a dialogue with the times in the strong contrast. The dilapidated cave dwellings have been transformed into characteristic B&Bs. The first phase of the renovation of the ancient village has been completed, and subsequent renovations will be carried out one after another to help the village create a hot spring B&B tourism ecology and dream base.
Create modern bathroom and upgrade rural life
The original bathroom not only lacked modern bathroom facilities, but also had to go through the courtyard to reach it, which was extremely inconvenient to use. In this regard, the designer incorporated the bathroom into the overall design and selected a series of modern high-quality bathroom products from Hengjie.
The designer first chose the highly acclaimed Hengjie Q8i and Hengjie Q9 intelligent all-in-one computers. They integrate multiple sterilization technologies and safety protection to provide comprehensive protection for family members and tourists; the one-button knob design maximizes convenient operation, allowing grandparents to get started quickly.
Hengjie Q9 intelligent all-in-one machine also has an automatic sensor flip function, which not only reduces the number of peopleIt reduces the contact between the human body and the toilet, reduces the risk of bacterial cross-infection, and makes it no longer difficult for grandparents to bend over and flip the lid.
In terms of bathing, the designer chose a Hengjie bathtub made of environmentally friendly materials and long-lasting constant temperature; grandma’s bathroom is equipped with a Hengjie Easy-Touch shower room, whose advanced adjustable distance technology makes the space more adaptable; combined with an oversized The Hengjie Loxyx New Wing T6 and T8 showerheads on the platform are both beautiful and convenient.
The bathroom is also equipped with Hengjie light bathroom cabinets. The "American rustic" model is simple and fashionable, and the "Chinese novelty" model is full of elegance. The wood alloy material is not only durable, but also has a warm and skin-friendly 3D touch; equipped with The smart mirror of the Hengjie Yueyan series can be defogged with just one click, and smart life has been upgraded again. This series of product upgrades by Hengjie brings a healthy, safe, comfortable and convenient bathroom experience to the simple countryside.
The cooperation of professional design and professional home furnishing new domestic products has lit up the way for the people of the ancient village to return home, rejuvenated the declining ancient village with new vitality, and made the friendly hometown once again become the warmest home. There are still many villages like Sanmenxia Ancient Village that are in urgent need of revitalization and transformation. We look forward to Hengjie and "Dream Renovators" working together to bring more first-class protection to thousands of ordinary families.
