RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The felt panelling for the feature wall is the most challenging for the design process.
1. Sourcing the good supplier for the material and finding the good millwork company who's willing to be challenged by the new ideas and also flexible in the limited working budget.
2. Compromising the original design and changing it to the smaller scale with the simpler shape due to the cost saving and the other aspects of concerns. Due to the productive decisions and the team work, we've solved all the problems and the result look amazing.
