Project Brief
The proprietor wishes to retain certain existing qualities, allowing the space to divide into the impacting sensations and differences between the existing antiqueness and modern renovation, as if entering a time machine to travel between the old and the new. Such fusion requires design and constructional modern art techniques to create an inclusive new style.
Project Innovation/Need
We kept the ground floor with the original looks of the building, where the entrance with a customized gate featuring metallic gears explains the unique tone of the space. In order to collaborate with such tone of the old era, merely cement to create the natural pattern of the wall surfaces, while the flooring also uses materials of the same tone for matching.
Design Challenge
The master bedroom on the second floor applied many unique lighting fixtures, glasses and wallpapers along with some colors, allowing the space extend into modern and avant-garde characteristic. For the treatment of the space, use the television wall to separates the changing, dressing and work space at the back, reinforce the practicality and functionality of the space. Black mirror is used as the door for the wardrobe at the back, demonstrating modern quality other than being opaque. On the whole, slanted liner lighting decorations are applied to deviate from the vertical structure, allowing the spatial dimension with variation and fun; couch, retro chair, stylish mirror are further used to preserve the nostalgic atmosphere, allowing the old to fuse with the new.
Sustainability
The dining and kitchen spaces applied retro metallic patterned counter and wooden dining table to form the kitchen island, whereas the extended living room uses black track lighting fixture with a slight industrial style along with wooden pallet as the partition screen, while metallic cabinet is used as the television cabinet, the consistency in the overall materials and colors allowed the space to convey the effect of frozen time; since the bathroom faces the dining room, hence bright colored container shape made using woodwork and iron piece craftwork enhanced the spatial installation art effect.
