RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The light color tone of the space is a metaphor for the dynamic aesthetics of the building and the urban taste to be compatible with the urban environment. The entrance foyer is interpreted through stone, steel and glass, eliminating the problem of looking straight into the living room. The ceiling of the main living area is applied with cavetto molding to highlight the warmth of life and the need for relaxation, faithfully presenting a carefree and leisurely attitude. The dining room concept integrates a bar and an open kitchen, replacing the traditional definition of the attributes of the area, and in relation to the openness of the main living area, natural light is allowed in to reflect the warm expression of the materials, making the whole space area appear open and inviting. The overall combination of simple, natural materials, the temporal changes of natural light and atmosphere confidently encapsulates the space, retaining a lot of open space, following the open relationship, releasing the accumulated stress in an urban environment, and exuding a sense of relaxation.
On the second floor, a study area is planned for the male property owner, which also becomes the main area for working at home in the post-epidemic era. The bookcase design cleverly incorporates dual functions of display and storage to enrich the expression and needs of the space. The master bedroom area is equipped with a dressing room, which inherits the stylish, modern, and elegant design of the public space, and utilizes light materials to create a sense of quality and elegance. Through the layers of indirect light sources, the space expresses a leisurely ambience. The dressing room is designed in accordance with the property owner's living needs from open space to shelves and drawers, and is tailored to the space through detailed design...The bathroom space is modeled after the facilities and functions of a star-rated hotel, and the bath and shower are cleverly arranged to provide a relaxing, leisurely, and stress-free mood...
CHALLENGE: At the beginning of the design process, the team considered the serious water leakage problem of the house, and firstly, the layout of the whole room on the 1st and 2nd floor was readjusted, and the leakage was resolved through the use of professional equipment, and the waterproofing of the exterior wall was strengthened. Through the strengthening of the foundation and the re-planning of the waterproofing works, the layout and function were re-adjusted, and the concept and resonance of the future ideal residence in the mind of the property owners was transformed into a sensible and aesthetic space.
