HOUSE of SUNSHINE

Project Brief

The living room is decorated with warm gray tones and light wood to create a warm and comfortable living atmosphere and decorated with green plants to outline a natural tone. Since the original TV wall was narrow, making the large sofa occupied most of the space. As a result, the designer has reconfigured the overhead cabinets, and curved display cabinets were cleverly connected to extend the visual experience and balance the weight of the space, presenting an open and large spatial pattern. Along the route to the dining area, a blue fabric is set as a finishing touch, adding a touch of color and giving a sense of visual layering.

Project Need

In the master bedroom, which continues the color scheme of the public space, is decorated with warm gray and white as the main color scheme. Besides, a few blue objects and green wall paintings create a natural and simple tone. The secondary bedroom is planned with a white base, some gray and wood tones, and a mirror to make the space look spacious and bright.

Design Challenge

After thorough communication with the owner, the designer preserved the original cabinets and ceilings and skillfully used the integration of colors and the layout of the space to blend the relationship between the old and the new, It not only preserves the owner’s memory but also keeps the smooth walking lines so that the residents do not have to readjust to the use of the space. Based on the previous layout, the original complex decoration is rearranged, and a new aesthetic design is planned to create a relaxed living space, offering the residents an enjoyable space.

Sustainability

The house has external windows in both shared and private living areas. It allows a large amount of natural light into the house and bathes the space in sunlight. This way, there is no need to turn on all the lights during the daytime, and it satisfies the users' demand for light. Therefore, it reduces the use of electric lights, prolongs their service life, lowers electricity consumption, and realizes the idea of energy saving and carbon reduction. The plants will absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen by planting green plants in the house, slowing down the greenhouse effect, and purifying the air.
