Project Overview
This exceptional project entails the transformation of an old house into a luxurious space with a focus on elegance and refinement. Through the incorporation of mirrors, titanium-plated metal, glass elements, and a diverse array of stone textures, combined with the strategic use of natural light and carefully curated lighting, we aim to not only fashion a living environment of high-style but also to enhance transparency and alleviate the darkness that had previously shrouded the space. The harmonious interplay of wooden materials serves to bring equilibrium to the space. Furthermore, the open layout of the main area seeks to establish a vast activity space and unobstructed pathways, ultimately crafting a living environment that seamlessly blends comfort, beauty, and convenience for the homeowners.

Project Brief
The design team artfully utilized luxurious marble slabs, exquisite glass tiles, and reflective mirrors to craft a striking and sophisticated entrance. Furthermore, the mirrors not only add to the opulence but also provide a practical solution for the homeowners to prepare themselves before heading out. As you move inside, the seamless integration of the living room and dining room creates an expansive common area. Moreover, the use of glass partitioning in the kitchen and study enhances the sense of openness and flow throughout the main space.
Project Need
Transitioning to the living room, its TV wall is a masterpiece, featuring stunning stone veneer panels and titanium-plated iron components. Additionally, the consistent visual aesthetic is further accentuated by the use of titanium-plated elements in the display cabinets. Glimpsing towards the dining area, the meticulous use of mirrored materials to adorn the table legs and central island wall exudes elegance while effectively counterbalancing the weightiness of the stone. To maintain a sense of spaciousness and light, the kitchen partition is elegantly crafted from sleek gray glass sliding doors which effectively contain cooking fumes while preserving visibility and light transmission.
Design Challenge
Upon entering the private area, one can observe the deliberate departure from the prevalent use of stone in the public space to the employment of wood in the master bedroom, imparting a tranquil and stable atmosphere conducive to rest. Furthermore, in light of the area's non-square layout and irregular spaces, a strategic decision was made to introduce a display platform at the bed's head and position a sofa by the window. This initiative not only remedied the challenge presented by the irregular structure but also bolstered the space's functionality while optimizing efficiency.
Sustainability
This project serves as a prime example of embracing environmental sustainability in both material selection and design. It prioritizes natural lighting by incorporating external windows in public and private areas, enhancing the ambience while reducing energy consumption. By integrating energy-saving LED lighting, the project effectively curtails energy usage and carbon emissions. Furthermore, the use of environmentally friendly materials such as MENAB, stone veneer, and low-VOC paints, all certified with the Green Building Materials Label, underscores a commitment to minimizing the ecological footprint of the construction process. In sum, this project harmoniously blends the homeowner's expectations of an ideal living space with an environmentally conscious design approach, resulting in a truly sustainable luxury home.
