Project Brief

The building's exterior embraces a contemporary minimalist design, characterized by its sleek lines and sophisticated aesthetic. It boasts a combination of beige-grey stone, dark aluminum window frames, and matte metal embellishments, meticulously crafted to exude a sense of European elegance while imparting a slender and graceful appearance to the entire structure. Furthermore, the concept of “intertwining” is ingeniously incorporated, employing a staggered and superimposed technique to artfully showcase the French lattice windows, thereby sculpting the building's facade into an intricate latticework, which evokes a refined, stylish, and elegant ambiance.

Project Innovation/Need

Upon entering the lobby, one is immediately struck by the extensive use of wood and stone to pave the area, showcasing a multitude of brown hues that permeate the space, thereby establishing a pervasive, earthy color scheme. The integration of antique brass, gold ironwork, and specialty tiles introduces a sophisticated layering effect, creating an environment of refined artistic elegance.

Design Challenge

The gym and multi-purpose room exhibit sloping ceilings and indirect lighting, effectively expanding the visual expanse and contributing to noteworthy variability. The utilization of light brown wood as the primary building material perpetuates the natural texture of the earth's color system, while the extensive external windows infuse the space with ample natural light, thereby consecrating a luminous and inviting activity area for the inhabitants.

Sustainability

In today's global movement for environmental preservation, there is an increasing spotlight on environmental issues and the integration of environmental concepts into spatial design. Our current project aims to not only create a comfortable and visually appealing apartment but also prioritizes environmentally friendly practices. To achieve this, we have carefully selected natural building materials such as stone and wood to minimize construction waste. Furthermore, we have strategically incorporated external windows in each area of the apartment to welcome abundant natural light, reducing the dependence on artificial lighting. This approach not only ensures a well-lit and inviting space but also contributes significantly to energy conservation and carbon emission reduction.
