Project Overview
This project focuses on the thoughtful planning of a private residence, where simplicity meets comfort. The design elegantly incorporates natural materials and warm earth tones, while gently rounded lines create an inviting atmosphere that envelops residents in a sense of tranquillity.
In response to the owner's specific needs, the designer has skillfully crafted a variety of customized storage cabinets, ensuring ample and versatile storage solutions that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics. Furthermore, the entire home features handle-free cabinets, which not only enhance visual cohesion throughout the space but also significantly reduce the risk of injury from accidental collisions. Ultimately, this design achieves a harmonious balance between beauty and safety, making it an ideal sanctuary for its inhabitants.

Project Brief
As guests step into the foyer, their attention is immediately drawn to the captivating hexagonal tiles that pave the floor, artfully arranged in a staggered pattern. This intricate design not only sets the foyer apart from the wooden floor in the living room but also creates a visually engaging atmosphere that warmly welcomes visitors. Moreover, the level terrain enhances safety, significantly reducing the risk of tripping or injury and ensuring a secure environment for all who enter.
The master bedroom beautifully reflects the design ethos present in the public spaces of the home, enveloping the room in a tranquil ambience created by a palette of warm colours and rich wood tones. The elegant rattan headboard serves as a striking focal point, offering a touch of rustic charm and organic sophistication. This thoughtful incorporation of natural materials not only enhances the room's aesthetic appeal but also fosters a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Overall, the space is designed to provide residents with a comforting retreat that harmonizes with the home's overarching design narrative.
Project Need
Beneath the wooden flooring lies cleverly designed storage, which maximizes the use of available space. This innovative feature not only contributes to a tidy and organized environment but also offers occupants additional room for storing belongings, enhancing the practicality of the overall design.
Meanwhile, the dining room is beautifully centred around a dining table with transparent legs, which delivers an airy and lightweight visual effect that elevates the dining experience. Adjacent to the table, a thoughtfully placed sideboard provides convenient storage for tableware, kitchen utensils, and small appliances. This arrangement allows residents to easily access everything they need while enjoying their meals, significantly enhancing the convenience of daily life. Overall, this space masterfully balances aesthetics and functionality, making it a true delight for both entertaining guests and everyday living.
Design Challenge
Upon transitioning into the living room, one can appreciate the large beams that grace the space. The designer has skillfully incorporated rounded corners into these beams, effectively softening their harsh, right-angled lines. This thoughtful detail alleviates any oppressive sensation, fostering an inviting atmosphere throughout the room. Furthermore, the raised floor by the window establishes a serene nook that is perfect for relaxation and conversation, seamlessly blending comfort with functionality.
Sustainability
To cultivate an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and health-conscious home, every detail of this project has been thoughtfully designed. The layout enhances the feeling of spaciousness while optimizing the functionality of the floor area. The strategic placement of external windows invites generous streams of natural light and invigorating fresh air into the interior, minimizing the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning.
This design approach not only promotes energy conservation and reduces carbon emissions, but also enhances indoor air quality, creating a more vibrant and healthier living environment for its residents. When it comes to building materials, this project proudly employs a rich selection of wood sourced from sustainable environments. This choice not only imbues the space with a warm and inviting texture but also plays a crucial role in minimizing construction waste, underscoring a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and responsibility.
