Project Brief
The project is founded upon the aesthetic principles of a high-end hotel, serving as the central design motif and blending refined French luxury with contemporary Oriental influences. By employing a diverse array of materials, such as three-dimensional crystal wall decorations set against French hand-painted silk wallpaper, laser-carved leather panels adorning the living room's television wall, and high-gloss lacquered wall panels and 3D stone parquet in other spaces, the project signifies the team's unwavering commitment to artisanship, color, and materials. It aims to craft a serene, sophisticated, and entirely novel dwelling for the client.
Project Need
The project adeptly incorporates elements imbued with meaning and symbolism to structure the space, thereby enhancing the emotional resonance, artistic expression, and spatial depth. This approach enables residents to establish a profound sense of self-identity. Through the fusion of various styles, utilization of diverse materials, unique wall decorations crafted with precision, manipulation of light and shadow, and integration of geometric elements, the project exemplifies the distinctive aesthetics of domestic space and articulates the fundamental principles of existential philosophy.
Design Challenge
The design was meticulously planned to accommodate the evolving needs of the homeowner's growing children. This involved minimizing design complexities, implementing an open layout to amplify spatial dimensions, and integrating essential functional amenities to infuse the residence with renewed vitality and value. Consequently, this approach not only enhances the domestic quality of life but also optimizes spatial efficiency, creating a harmonious and adaptable living environment for the family to thrive in.
Sustainability
The homeowner possesses a profound attachment to the residence and expresses a sincere desire for the dwelling to continue serving as a backdrop for the cherished family moments following its renovation. This underscores the significance of adept spatial design within the familial context, epitomizing the principles of heritage and enduring progress.
As a result, the residence transcends mere habitation, assuming the role of a repository for memories and familial sentiments, imparting robust vitality to the family unit. In addition, the designer has made a conscious choice to utilize environmentally friendly materials for the interior space, embodying sustainability as an integral element of the renovation.
