Project Brief

Because of the local terrain, the parking lot is built on the first floor. The second floor, on which the public area of the living room, dining room and kitchen, the straight-cut thin slate wall, the white TV wall and ceiling, the long log bar, and the modern couches, create the different qualities from the simple lines and unadorned materials.

Project Need

The area behind the living room is the open kitchen and dining space, in which the wooden grille ceiling, the log table and chairs, the metallic lamps, and the white space, create the warm atmosphere of “home” in the restaurant. The large French window, at the back of the restaurant, is connected to the back yard, where the delicate plantings, small swimming pool, and open tea house, make the residence filled with the happy hour as taking vacation, when satisfying the desires for foods, clothes, living.

Design Challenge

Continued with the modern style, the white private space on the upper floor, the wooden floor, and closet furniture, make the space unique. In the main bedroom, the dark-leather main wall, glass, and grey stone wall, create the space which is conserved and calm. The delicate grille sliding door and wooden blind, in the secondary bedroom, fill the white sleeping space with Zen serenity.

Sustainability

On the top floor, the living room, wooden walkway made of gravels and southern pines, the scattered bushes, and the beautiful ocean scenery, become a part of life anywhere and anytime.
