Bu Er Residential House

Bu Er Residential House is a sophisticated residential interior design project completed in 2020, encompassing 140 square meters of living space in Suzhou, China. This contemporary dwelling exemplifies a harmonious blend of modernist aesthetics and functional design, characterized by its innovative use of differentiated materials and thoughtful spatial organization. The design philosophy centers on eliminating traditional spatial boundaries while maintaining a cohesive flow throughout the duplex structure. The interior architecture employs a refined grayscale aesthetic, complemented by abstract paintings, carefully selected decorative elements, and strategic lighting solutions that create a modern yet welcoming atmosphere. The project's material palette combines smooth marble surfaces, textured cement finishes, and irregularly divided wood veneer sections, all harmoniously integrated with soft fabric furnishings. A notable feature is the architecturally significant staircase, which serves as both a functional element and a core design node, utilizing the higher bottom space through precise computational planning. The design, recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in its execution, particularly in its treatment of natural light and shadow play, which enhances the spatial experience through the interplay of regular and irregular elements. The project successfully addresses the challenges of working within a centrally located building structure while creating an environment that reflects the owner's sophisticated lifestyle preferences and contemporary living requirements.
