DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME: Urban Oasis
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential
INSPIRATION: Clients require many storage space: Functional items have vanished: Lacquered cabinet doors were painted in wall colors. Giving a feeling of paneled walls but not an apartment with full of cabinets surrounding
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The origins layout of this Duplex was composed by lots of bedrooms to serve as accommodation for employees of a company, the layout made the duplex feel dingy and dark.
We reconfigured the space into a large open-plan with living & dining room, kitchen with an open-tread steel staircase to penetrate more natural light to the Foyer.
Master bedroom Is located on the upper level where the master bathroom had been relocated next to the big window. A tailor-made basin with glass partition separates the bath tub area to maximize the light into the closet area.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The use of natural cement floor, grey walls, indirect lighting work together to create an oasis of calmness, a transquil retreat away from the busy city life.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Dec 2014 and completed in June 2015 in Hong Kong, from design to the construction of a total of 6 months.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design
|
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Natural cement floor, wood, black steel, lacquered paint
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: A duplex with 60 square meters each floor, total 120 square meters
TAGS: urban oasis, relax, transquil
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: By reinventing the duplex from top to bottom, knocking down walls, replacing the bulky staircase with a more streamlined one. The present two- bedroom apartment is spacious with two distinct zones. Downstairs, we created a loft-like space with an open living & dining room. Meanwhile, the upstairs spaces have a warmer feel that's in keeping with client role as bedrooms and bathrooms.
CHALLENGE: From a dingy, dark original layout, with only one side have big window, we reconfigured the space into a large open-plan to maximize more natural light.

This award-winning design is simply stunning. It has transformed the original dingy and dark layout into a spacious and light-filled oasis. The reconfiguration of the space has created an open-plan living area with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The use of natural cement floor, wood, black steel, and lacquered paint gives the design a contemporary yet timeless feel. It is a truly remarkable work that is deserving of the A' Design Award.

I am so incredibly impressed with Vstudio Limited's award-winning work, "Urban Oasis". The attention to detail and thoughtful design choices are clear - from the reconfiguration of the space into an open-plan layout, to the tailor-made basin with glass partition to maximize light into the closet area. I'm also in awe of their research and how they were able to create a two-bedroom apartment that is both spacious and cozy. It is clear that Vstudio Limited's work deserves the recognition it has received and I am so happy for their success.
