PART1 His story >>

Guest of the current issue: Zhou Yiyi Woodworking House Founder & Hosts

Zhou Yiyi, nicknamed Mr. Deep-fried Beans, was a landscape designer and head of business planning. When Beijing was the head of business planning, the happiest was to volunteer at the wood workshop after work and volunteering. Really realized that the temperature of the wood, the fun of the hand. After two years of drifting north, he found the life he wanted. In 2014, he resigned back to Kunming and opened his hand as a wood workshop, determined to be a carpenter. In the spirit of a craftsman, he made a real world of his own. Making homes, teaching craftsmanship, and opening his first wooden bark house, he said that making a hobby a career is a kind of happiness, and he did it. .

I had been thinking for a long time that carpentry, designers, and bed and breakfast were all on the same carrier, what the product would be like on the same person, and the Mubarak brand was born. The first bed and breakfast was This wooden baker's bed and breakfast was originally self-occupied, because his girlfriend always wanted a home, the furniture in the house was a story, and he made it himself. He took six months to do the design and furniture. The friend spent a year in it and then took it out to make the bed and breakfast rental.

Transformation 1:

▼House Information

Bed and Breakfast Name: Mubark Woodworking Culture Theme Homestay

Coordinates: Kunming

Use area: 50m2

Fit-out period: 6 months

Environmental Features: Wood Workshop, Industrial Wind

Located in the heart of Kunming, close to the beautiful green lake, Mubark B&B is originally a set of old high ceiling apartments. Zhou Yiyi wants to transform it into a simple Loft style, which contains his design understanding of Loft and warm style. It is a combination of soft and hard design techniques. It uses iron, wood, and cloth to make people feel relaxed while having a coffee bar.

The Mubarak woodworking culture theme name implies that this is my life style as a founder who wants to convey to the world. This attitude is to concentrate on what you love and then put it in the most reasonable position for free fermentation. Waiting time for baptism and polishing. It's like a wonderful love. Concentrate on making yourself good. Then wait for the most suitable half to appear. Then all the emotions and sadness begin. All the external disturbances are never moved. Mubark's name comes from an extinct ancient race in Africa. They are brave, full of wisdom, and they have natural beauty in the wild. This is exactly what I am pursuing.

When I first saw this house, I thought that Jane was not intolerable, but I couldn't bear to remember... You can imagine that I rented a house and spent half a year grinding it slowly. After half a month of signing the contract, I finished the renovation and I was not the same. At the time, when I was remodeling, I had only one firm and tall idea. I wanted to ask the landlord for a little more time for renovations, and the other contract expired. In your home, home appliances belong to you, then the landlord was convinced by me, gave a one-year rent-free period, can you believe that there is such a good thing in the world? This is not finished, the landlord did not take back the house after the contract expired, and encouraged I want to do things better and better. Later, I carefully studied this matter, either the landlord was too good or I was too good, otherwise I would be uncertain about who to change, so I can accept either the former or the latter. Really. As for demand, budget, no, how come I'm glad to come, to know what a person does when he is in a state of extreme relaxation.

Most of the wood-related things in the house were handmade by him and the woodworking master.

Since the beginning of the designer, I have always felt that what I designed was achieved by other workers. This thing has always been very unpleasant to me. Why should I design something that is ultimately to be done by others and it is often done? I couldn’t look at it directly. What was the difference in this matter? That is to learn how to do it yourself! Based on such an idea to compete with yourself, I started to learn the process of making crafts. In fact, honestly, I’m not just going to Carpenter, I also welder iron art, but also cement, myself built a number of walls, so far no wall collapsed. I also studied electrician, but because of the electricity is too much pain, and decided to give up.

For our generation after 80, most people like me, childhood is not riding a small Trojan He's made this little wooden horse in 5 days. It really isn't a child. It's a lot of people who want to get back that missing childlike child.

The space in the attic is bigger than before. Apart from the bedroom, there is also a small study, office space, and life rest.

They are a little heavy, but they have more textures. The wood selection in the homestay is very high. In particular, one type is Canadian imported wood, which has less moisture and is not susceptible to cracking. The other is old wood that has been weathered for a few years, has almost no moisture, is not easily deformed, has quality and temperament. At the same time, he The furniture does not need paint, it is all treated with environmentally friendly wax oil, and it is non-polluting. It is also good for people living there.

New studio renovation in progress

My bed and breakfast is my exhibition room. Each room tells the story of our serious design and carpentry. My philosophy is to make Mubaker a designer hotel, so that more people can stay in this hotel. Experience the fun of designing and hands-on production. At present, I have started five sets of wooden Baccarat Culture Theme B&Bs. Several B&B renovation projects are still continuing. I hope many and many years later, my dream of this hotel can be realized.
