Project Overview

This exceptional residential project is nestled in the bustling city center. The visionary designer meticulously adhered to a people-oriented philosophy, customizing the home space to reflect the homeowner's individuality. Inspired by the homeowner's preference for an expansive and breezy ambiance, the designer employed opulent materials, sophisticated lines, and a rich color palette to craft an environment that exudes a sense of subtle opulence within a contemporary, minimalist setting.

Project Brief

The entryway features a full-face gray mirror, which serves to enhance the room's transparency and provides residents with a convenient spot for final appearance checks before departing. Additionally, an adjoining large storage cabinet offers ample space for clothing and shoe storage, thereby catering to the residents' organizational needs. In the living room, a black stone TV wall and an expansive sofa combine to create an open and opulent ambiance. Moreover, a sizeable beam positioned above the sofa has been artfully augmented using a plastered gray mirror, thereby extending the visual expanse while mitigating the imposing effect of the structure. Consequently, this deliberate intervention contributes to the creation of a pleasing and comfortable common area.

Project Need

Respecting the homeowner's desire to preserve the existing layout, the team ingeniously integrated mirrors to eradicate any visual obstruction caused by beams and pillars. Moreover, each area was thoughtfully considered, with the implementation of ergonomic cabinet designs to optimize spatial efficiency and offer occupants generous storage options.

Design Challenge

The open-plan dining room offers a large dining table with a central island design, fostering social interaction and allowing for the hosting of guests and relatives. Beneath the central island, retractable cabinets and wine storage have been integrated, maximizing storage utility within the space. Likewise, the storage cabinet situated behind the dining table is constructed from easy-to-maintain leather Minolite, offering expedient cleaning properties and alleviating maintenance concerns for homeowners. Additionally, an adjacent sliding glass door in the kitchen serves to effectively contain grease and smoke while permitting abundant natural light. Finally, the master bedroom is outfitted with system cabinets that provide generous storage capacity, while the refined stone pattern and metal detailing on the TV wall generate an aesthetic of luxury harmonious with the shared living areas.

Sustainability

To create an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and healthy home, this project has made several key decisions. Firstly, the minimalist design reduces the use of decorative building materials and keeps the layout unchanged to minimize waste generation. Secondly, low-formaldehyde panels were used as building materials to provide a healthy and comfortable living environment for the homeowners. Also, artificial stone was used instead of marble to reduce environmental damage. Finally, the leftover edges of the TV wall were repurposed for decoration in the end-view area, ensuring the efficient use of materials and avoiding unnecessary waste.
