Name: Alexander Åhnebrink
Location: Former French Concession — Shanghai, China
Size: 3,200 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year, renting
When Alexander moved to China with his wife four years ago, he dreamed of a traditional courtyard home. He was met with reality: finding one that didn't need serious renovations was next to impossible and they would be settling for a more modern serviced apartment in the city center. Fast forward three years, and they found themselves embarking on the home search once again, this time in Shanghai. With a growing family, Alexander now really wanted to prioritize finding a special place that felt like home, and soon he and his wife found themselves looking for houses instead of flats. They eventually did just that, and in a city known for its historic lane houses, finding a space that had already been remodeled by local design firm A00 was a pleasant surprise — one that always manages to stun visitors when the Åhnebrinks entertain.
