Are you crazy to rent a junkyard and change it into a 4000-yuan garden?

In the past two days, I was brushed off by Ji Lingchen's breakup, and onlookers said once again that they did not believe in love.

Why would anyone doubt love because of the change of love among stars? But from Shaoyao's point of view, the best love is not in books, movies, let alone entertainment stars, but around us.

Parents who have been helping each other for decades, grandparents who walk trembling and holding hands, they are the best appearance of love.

There are many ordinary couples around Paeonia lactiflora. They will not say "you like the sea, I have loved you" this kind of hypocritical words will only love each other meticulously in real life. Fang Wei and Uma are such an immortal couple. They also built a garden house of 4000 yuan with their own hands to house life and love.

The garbage dump becomes a garden.

Fang Wei and Uma will build a garden, not because the rich are busy, but because they have no money.

Fang Wei and Uma are a couple of artists in Shanghai. Fang Wei paints. Uma used to be a dancer and now performs. When the rent for studios in downtown Shanghai went up at the end of 2014, they came to Chongming Island and rented an abandoned piece of land near the sea.

The land was originally an abandoned fishing station, with an area of nearly 4000 square meters, and the central government was also used to burn rubbish. Old plastic bags were piled up into mountains around the clearing, and there were abandoned old factories in the north, south and west.

Although the house was dilapidated, the couple saw the infinite possibility of transforming the place and soon rented the land. Without changing the original structure of the factory, the needs of life and work are gradually planned into this space.

By planting trees, planting flowers and raising fish, the two gradually turned the original garbage dump and the old factory into a beautiful garden, a dining room, a bedroom, and a separate studio for the couple.

Now, with their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter and a pair of hound father and son, they continue to create a life while renovating the house.

"it's happier to build a house here than in the city.

It is no longer decorated.

It's for the things we love. "

"We didn't draw any drawings.

The division of all aspects is measured by feet.

Use the body to grasp the size of the space, very random. "

Now home, open the door and walk through the wooden fence

A slate road leads to two connected rooms.

One room is used as a restaurant.

A plaque on the wall

It was Fang Wei's father who wrote the name for their daughter, Yongqing.

The other is a living room with two skylights on the roof.

This inspiration comes from the couple's studio.

Under the natural light, the whole space is bright and transparent

Two pieces of white cloth were hung under the skylight.

Avoid the scorching sun shining directly into the house in summer

The light is also softer.

The floors in the house are all old floors from the old houses demolished in the city. "when we paint, we always carry paint on our feet, or the mud we step on in the garden. with the old floor, we can be more casual, comfortable and unscrupulous, without the sense of restraint brought by the new floor."

Fang Wei also bought two cabinets from the place where he sold secondhand goods. The production time was a hundred years ago, and the well-preserved Ming-style furniture cost as little as 500 yuan. "it's more exciting than buying a $3000 toilet."

Three windows are used to connect the dining room and the living room, and no matter which room you move in, you can see what the family is doing in the next room.

The husband and wife often go out together to "pick up junk" and collect some of the furniture thrown away by farmers, doors and windows. Three unwanted window frames were embedded in the wall between the dining room and the living room.

The other door of the living room leads to a small bar space, which Fang Wei changed into a breakfast space for a family of three when Uma gave birth to a daughter.

"the bar looks out on the small pond we dug, with the most comfortable view."

The couple introduced the water from the river outside the east fence into the courtyard, and the central open space, which was originally full of waste, became a pond with recycled water. Hydrangeas are also planted around the pond, and it is a lively time for hydrangeas to bloom around the Meiyu season.

The arc arch next to the bar is pushed open.

You can see the flower racks made of old windows.

The rose planted two years ago has climbed up the shelf.

"A surprise to you from plants in a year.

Something you didn't realize before. "

Uma's studio is behind the living room and dining room.

It is also the southernmost end of the whole site.

Fang Wei's studio is on the northernmost side of the site.

Across the whole garden, the two studios look at each other from a distance.

"this distance is very comfortable.

We work without disturbing each other and create independently of each other. "

We don't see each other during the day, but when we eat,

Auntie rang with a bell

When people hear the bell, they go to the restaurant from different rooms.

When they first came to the countryside, after building a house, the couple often drove around the village. When he saw that the villagers had planted some trees, he asked them if they could buy them and slowly moved them one by one into their own small yard.

"there are ginkgo biloba, neem trees, acacia, loquat and magnolia."

"slowly learn a lot from these plants. It might have been a feeling of illiteracy, but now you can give the name of the tree you planted. "

One day, while tidying up the woods, Fang Wei also found a small bird nest with five or six newly born birds that had not opened their eyes.

Uma said another reason for Chongming is to give one of their Weimar hounds a wider range of activities. She was paired with a female hound of the same species and gave birth to puppies.

Unfortunately, after the female hound died, she happened to meet the bronze statue and put it in the yard in memory of the dead bitch.

"many of our friends will ask us, are you used to living in the country? We slowly transformed the studio, the first time the feeling and changes in city life. "

"when I get up at five in the morning, I can see the sunrise every day, and I can never get tired of seeing the colors of the sky."

"I go to bed early at night, there is no other entertainment, there is no coffee bar, and there is no petty bourgeoisie atmosphere needed for life in the past."

"We are not living in seclusion here, nor are we trying to escape anything. It allows us to face ourselves quietly and have a very good sense of distance from the city."

Who says happiness means buying a luxury house and driving a luxury car?

Because of love, garbage dumps can also become gardens.

A family of three, three meals and four seasons

Never tired of listening to birds, not tired of watching the morning glow

It's another kind of happiness.
