Project Brief

This is an interior design project for a residence with a total living space of about 132 square meters. With the designer’s delicate deconstruction and reconfiguration, the residence has demonstrated its amazing potential despite its disadvantaged spatial nature. Besides, the designer has resourcefully deconstructed the original four-bedroom layout and turned the residence into a three-bedroom house that is spacious and comfortable in the living room and the primary suite. Considering the homeowner’s lifestyle and daily routines, the designer has exquisitely planned the entire residence to deliver a modern living space that is functional, low-key luxurious, and enjoyable. Black, gray, and white is set as the primary color scheme. In addition, the stone and wood materials have been beautifully planned to elevate the spatial texture, create a sense of layering, and present an authentic living style.

Project Need

Upon entering the foyer, one will realize that the designer has installed gray mirrors on one side of the wall and ceiling to strategically spatial presentation. The paintings cleverly conceal the electric control panel on the other side of the wall, and the spatial layout is clean and neat. Besides, a small platform was planned to provide the dwellers with a practical place to store, put, or keep items on when entering or leaving the house. Besides that, the shoe cabinet is made of wood and part of the system furniture, presenting a stable and mature look with the dark color configuration. Moreover, the multi-functional island along the cabinet could function as a working, dining, and cooking area. The walls are made of hand-hewn stone veneer, interspersed with mirrors and ironwork, expressing a unique and delicate texture. With the designer’s deconstruction and reorganization of the interior space, the spare space was freed up to place the double-sided cabinets, allowing the wine cooler and the dressing room closet on the other side to be staggered, presenting a cabinet that is creatively distinct of depth.

Design Challenge

The TV wall in the living room is designed in black and white, with a black border around the TV screen to deliver a sense of extension and provide users with a viewing experience free from border interference. Other than that, the entire storage cabinet allows residents to store their items. Besides, the black and white marble material is planned on the counter under the TV cabinet to create a spectacular and gorgeous look. Also, the designer has cleverly planned the ceiling with distinct linear lighting strips to create a high-tech-ish vibe and make the space look spacious. During the reorganization process, the partition was removed from the original layout, and the problem of the explosion of large beams became an issue. Nevertheless, the designer has brilliantly utilized wood veneer and mirrors as cladding, which resolved the homeowner’s concern about bad feng shui, and washed away the oppressive feeling. With the designers’ creative power and ingenuity, the sofa and the window bed are integrated to the same height, extending the use of the seats and making the space spacious and comfortable.

Sustainability

For this project, the designer has planned the smart home technology to allow the homeowner to operate home appliances remotely, which is user-friendly and energy-saving. Besides, the use of recycled materials and energy-efficient electrical appliances is an excellent realization of the four major environmental projection aspects, including healthy living, ecological health, human-centered health, and global sustainability. Besides, external windows are installed in both shared and private living areas, welcoming a large amount of natural light indoors and lighting up the residence. Accordingly, there is no need to turn on all the electric lights during the daytime. It satisfies the homeowner’s demand for a sufficient light source, reduces energy consumption, extends the service life of electric lights, and realizes the idea of energy saving and carbon reduction.
