RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The brief is to design a modern and cozy home for a family. The family has 2 kids, both of the couple are professionals who have high standard of living. The couple likes to invite their friends to home gatherings. The designer hopes to enhance the lifestyle of the family, by creating a stylish and calming 213 square meters (2,295 square feet) abode which is suitable for hosting home parties and has its unique signature.
CHALLENGE: The apartment is not shy of space, however the ceiling is low, the designer has to work around to avoid a claustrophobic impression. With the highlight of light troughs, the perceived square footage of the residence is amplified. Low profile furniture helps to maximize the space between the ceiling and the floor, creating a less confined space. The smooth transition from the sleek storage unit to the feature wall and frosted glass door also helps to maximize the perceived horizontal distance.
