Project Brief

In the interior space, the design skillfully marries artistic beauty with contemporary living essentials, ensuring residents enjoy a lifestyle that is both luxurious and practical. Each meticulously crafted interior space is designed to evoke comfort and tranquility, transforming the home into a personal sanctuary that enriches daily life. The thoughtful integration of aesthetics and functionality not only enhances the home’s inviting atmosphere but also celebrates the timeless principles of exquisite design, making it a remarkable retreat for its inhabitants.

Project Innovation/Need

The building's design is a captivating departure from conventional square structures, as it showcases an innovative semi-circular arc that imbues the architecture with a sense of elegance and fluidity. Furthermore, the soft, sweeping lines of the design enhance its allure, inviting admiration from all who encounter it. Additionally, curved windows replace traditional angular alternatives, serving as striking focal points that infuse the building with an exotic flair and a unique character.

Moreover, the color scheme is thoughtfully chosen from a palette of warm earth tones, which complements the structure’s aesthetic beautifully. Specifically, the exterior walls, finished with a rich natural stone texture, foster a sense of organic harmony, encapsulating the essence of a serene and laid-back lifestyle.

In addition, the two-story panels crafted from perforated metal steel mesh ingeniously balance privacy with luminous openness. This design not only allows natural light to permeate the interior spaces, but it also ensures security and protection from the outside world. As a result, the interior environment is bright and inviting, prioritizing comfort while seamlessly blending style and functionality. Ultimately, this architectural masterpiece truly embodies a modern yet timeless elegance.

Design Challenge

Upon entering this thoughtfully designed living space, one will be immediately enveloped by a soothing palette of beige tones enhanced by gentle lighting and luxurious materials, which together foster a warm and inviting atmosphere. The intricate interplay of textures and refined design techniques introduces an exotic flair to the modern residential environment, enriching the overall experience with a sense of warmth and depth. To beautifully blend the essence of nature with human habitation, each residence is thoughtfully equipped with an independent landscaped garden, creating a multifunctional oasis. This tranquil space allows residents to enjoy a perfect balance of privacy while still accommodating social interactions. The open layout further enhances this connection to nature, as natural light and fresh air effortlessly flow throughout the space. Every design element is meticulously crafted to harmonize with the outdoors, from the lush greenery adorning the courtyard on the first floor to the breathtaking vistas framed by the inviting curved windows. Completing this exquisite living experience is a dedicated rooftop area featuring a separate bedroom and laundry space, offering versatility to meet evolving needs while maintaining the elegance and comfort that define this exceptional home.

Sustainability

In order to create an environmentally friendly and sustainable building, great care has been taken in every aspect of this project. For the building materials on the exterior walls, energy-saving paints that reflect infrared rays and renewable concrete were selected. The curvilinear architectural design helps air circulation, reduces heat accumulation, and reduces the reliance on air conditioning equipment. Adequate external windows, combined with low-emission glass or double glazing, achieve the effect of reducing energy loss. Secondly, the courtyard area retained in this case brings good lighting to the interior space, while the greenery in the garden can adjust the outdoor microclimate and enhance the thermal insulation effect of the building. This not only reduces carbon emissions, but also reduces the need for air conditioning.




This award celebrates the design process and product of planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, and aesthetic considerations. Consideration given for material selection, technology, light and shadow.
