Peeking into Your Home: An Illustrator's Urban Home Visit Project, Documenting Lifestyles Through Hand-Drawn Spatial Diagrams

Follow Ker Ker as he shares interesting stories with "parents." First, understand the structure of the home from the "floor plan," and then begin exploring in the "perspective drawing." You can try to see if you can find a trace of your own home in the drawings. Next are the "likeness portraits" of each set of parents, allowing you to imagine who lives in these homes. Finally, many homes also feature "blurry photos," intentionally not capturing the full scene, but rather focusing on specific parts or details of the home. This not only considers privacy but also gives everyone more room to imagine through the images.

Studios, old apartments, duplexes, pre-sale homes;

Singles, couples, families with children, families with pets;

Some records of living, life, and relationships in this era.

――He excitedly showed me many spatial inspirations he had collected on his phone, and at the same time told me that he had just picked up a beautiful wooden table with his dad, and that he planned to paint the small room in the middle a special blue, a blue he saw somewhere... His eyes shone with a dazzling light, the kind I've seen in every aspiring cafe owner.

――On their dining table was a Cube gas stove, with a clay pot on it for boiling water. You tell me, who boils water in a clay pot at home? Harry laughed and said it's the same principle as how their family has never cooked rice in an electronic rice cooker for so many years; once you've had rice cooked in a clay pot, you can't go back!

The focus is not on discussing space renovation or storage techniques, but rather on using a very life-like perspective to document the wonderful lives happening in every corner of each home through painting.
