Project Brief
The public area, constituted by the living room, dining room and study room, is built by combining those different spaces. At the entrance, the tree-style black plates extend from the floor to the ceiling in three different directions. The chairs and table, made by the plates, create the atmosphere in the spaces of both the porch and study room.
Project Need
The multiple styles and the colors contrast have become the focus in the public area. Used the same plates design, the kitchen bar is embedded with the functions of table, storage closet, and TV wall, the design making vaguely the boundaries among different spaces which are connected by using the plates thereafter.
Design Challenge
Different from the idea of multiple functions in public area, the bedrooms are design only for the purpose, say resting or sleeping. Because of the requirements from each family member, the bedrooms are built as the private-secured space as well. With the French window in the main bedroom, the arch-style framework creates the church-like atmosphere; with the oil paintings of a wedding on the other side of walls, the memories and living spaces for the parents are connected ingeniously.
Sustainability
On the basis of the ideas of castles in fairy tales, the girl’s room is built into a fantastic and interesting world by means of the furniture in pink castle style, the steering wheel on the door, and the ocean-style mosaic collage in the bathroom.
