Project Overview
Inspired by the concept of “Wabi-sabi,” a lifestyle originated from Japanese aesthetics, the designer creates a residence second to none. With help of a 40-year-old craftsmanship experience, the designer portrays the pure, yet extraordinary joy of life, by the colors and luster of wood. Material combinations of darker tones set up a clear and neat space, offering also a great amount of storage space for the residents’ needs. The ingenious spatial arrangement and lighting design adopt an original approach to the scenery of home, making it pure, elegant yet lively and glamorous.

Project Brief
Tranquility and Zen as its theme, the design aims to offer a big amount of storage room and a quality life. In order to make the space visually comfortable, the designer simplifies combinations that might get complicated, applying different structures to layer up the space while avoiding using too many colors. Steel items and wooden materials of darker palette creates a rough yet graceful atmosphere. The texture of the floor beautifully separates the public space into two different areas; wood spreads out in the living room with a gentle vibe for relaxation while black stone naturally draws attention to the dining area. A glass brick wall, with a great amount of natural lights and various-colored lights embedded in the space, both serve to light up the darker-colored tone. Clear transition of textures smoothly transforms scenarios in the semi-open space.
Dark-colored wood with greyish black tone of the living room is spacious and luminous, accompanied with greenery on the balcony. The designer makes a good use of corner space to turn it into a sphere of tranquil comfy café. With natural lights shining in, this corner is a detail of the space that embodies the best of how a cozy and satisfying life could be like. Little details in a precisely neat space, dark grey hue with a few red items decorating, show the effort the designer puts in.
Project Need
With abundant natural light introduced in, the space is designed close to the residents’ habits. While making sure the quality and aesthetic of the space, the control systems of lighting, sound, air and temperature are also applied for the owner to manage. The use of water-proof materials, eco-friendly and bug-proof veneers make sure the daily living environment is safe and comfortable. Each corner of the design allows the residents to appreciate the space anytime, while sharing one’s care and blessing with others. The space perfectly embodies the aesthetic of life with purity and authenticity. One can show how to live to the fullest with a comfortable and confident attitude.
Design Challenge
Accepting the original structure of a higher and multi-layered ceiling, the designer takes advantage of it by adjusting the framework and embedding lights, to create a smoothness. While maintaining it tall and spacious, the design improves the visual effect and guides the residents with the smooth flow of light. The overall storage arrangement applies glass door, spinning shoe rack, and a great deal of cabinets, improving efficient usage of the space with still a sense of transparency. Hallways to the private areas are equipped with lights aside, making the flow much more intuitive.
Sustainability
The space is decorated with eco-friendly materials that are low-in-formaldehyde and bug-resistant, making sure to offer a comfortable and safe non-toxic living space. The use of water-proof materials reduces chances to accidentally ruin the original interior decoration and the need to replace it. Furthermore, a straightforward design without over-decorating not only calms the residents down with its zen aesthetic, it also reduces possible excessive waste. The whole space is luminous and spacious with a great amount of natural lights and greenery. Wisely embedded lighting design at the right place on spot lowers the unneeded waste of energy. Thus, the design can satisfy the customer in a sustainable manner.
