DESIGN NAME: Home Sweet Home
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Apartment
INSPIRATION: Because of the very low ceiling near entrance, we used a number of design features to create an illusion of height. For example, we used dark wooden stripes in plastic laminate finishes to lengthen the look of the walls. Also the use of white coloured plastic laminate resonate the theme of lines and functions to hide the maser bedroom door which is located at the middle of living & dining area.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A residential building over 50 years old with an unconventionally linear Layout home in which two bedrooms are accessible directly from the main living area. Concealed doors have been deliberately designed to be indiscernible from the rest of the walls and decor. At one end, balcony doors open up to spectacular views of Victoria Harbour, allowing natural light to diffuse directly to the opposite end of the space, where a glass sliding door study room has been sited for maximum visual transparency. Meanwhile, the effect of pale-coloured walls and ceiling is to disperse light and create a sense of spaciousness.
