Everything seems to be doomed in the dark, from the initial study of oil painting later turned to the environmental design major, he cut through the thorns, chasing deer, the brand of design is getting deeper and deeper.

■ A good designer needs to have a broad vision
Like the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who he was a benchmark, he refused to follow the trend, with idealism and romanticism, roaring in and out of the trend, with a young mentality and deliberate behavior to expound the core values of space.
He said: "The times are developing, and people's outlook on life is actually changing from beginning to end. So we will re-recognize our industry every year, and every year we will look at it as a new industry and recognize it, so that your thinking will not be modeled."

■ Scene insight with people as the origin
But when we take home as the origin and try to broaden the boundaries of space, Zhang Zhuo's diverse place spirit is also being awakened, perceived, understood and remembered one by one, and has undergone continuous changes through the coronation of the times, forming a scene insight with people as the origin.
He said, ""

Designers not only want to build a beautiful space, but more importantly, pay attention to people's feelings, and good design works are the combination of people's living habits and life needs.
He said that to do private house design, first of all, the functionality of Party A should be considered in the first place, how to live in this space, how to use it, and what kind of changes may occur in the future as the main problem to be solved, with functionality and practicality as the starting point.
In the design of private house space, he interprets the living attitudes of different house owners with diverse designs from several major sections such as space planning, material, space composition, plane composition, color collocation, lighting design, etc., "Pouring Sound, Pouring Rain", "The Beauty of the Butterfly Sea", "Space"... Through the works, we can feel that Zhang Zhuo's design is to serve people's lifestyle, not to design for the sake of design.
He said: "I think the most valuable part of this industry is that you actually help your party A and help your owner to achieve his dreams, which is what I enjoy the most." ”

■ What impresses customers the most is the details of life
In the past 25 years, he has done many large-scale projects and gained a lot of warmth. The customer respects his design, recognizes his whimsical ideas in the sky, and also allows him to capture what the owner needs and thinks from the details, and combs through these realizations and appeals, and every piece of furniture, every shape, every collocation presents a new attitude with a more warm sense in his hands.

Thinking from a rational level, before starting to design and achieve the goal, we must first stand in the customer's point of view, clearly understand what the customer thinks, tap the customer's deep needs, and think about the problem from emotion, from life, and from experience.
He said that space is loving, design is loving, this kind of love includes the love between parents and children, the love between husband and wife, in the design, in addition to some thinking about space planning, layout and appearance, more is to put the relationship between people in life, the care between people in space.
For Zhang Zhuo, although he was smoothed out by time, he also got the gift that the years gave to make his heart rich. At the same time, he also found the most ideal state in his heart in the process of the passage of time.
