Xinying Lin, resident in Espoo (a city located on the southern coast of Finland) sought to build a house for his family that was bright and private at the same time. Three years ago, he found a land in the Kaitamäki single -family housing zone in spoo that was large enough to build a house with atrium and patio.
According to a recent study, the proportion of immigrants of Chinese origin in spoo is greater than in another regions of Finland and more than 4,000 people in this city speak Chinese. In addition, people of Chinese and Indian origin in Helsinki’s metropolitan area live in housing in property more frequently than other immigrants, according to the medium .
And they are also excited about housing, highlights the same medium. The architect Sini Koivisto has already designed several homes for Chinese citizens who have moved to Espoo, including Lin’s house.
According to Koivisto, the houses are united by the modern and minimalist Scandinavian design, and describes the future home of the Lin family as a minimalist Scandinavian style. The interior has many wooden surfaces and the floors are polished concrete so that it is easy to keep them clean.
According to the architect Koivisto, who designed the house of 300 square meters, special emphasis has been placed on common spaces. Xinying Lin wanted the spaces to encourage children to be social.
“It would be much better if children preferred to be comfortable in the room than lying in their own room,” explains their reasoning, whereby the children’s rooms stand out for having a small size with respect to the rest of the rooms.
