Grand Interview

Your innovative approach to blending indoor and outdoor spaces in President 15 Guest House reflects a deep understanding of environmental harmony - could you elaborate on how your experiences in Argentina influenced this design philosophy?

In the design of President 15, I really drew a lot of inspiration from my experience in Argentina in my design philosophy, especially how to make a space feel relaxing and comfortable.In Argentina, people are accustomed to introducing man-made elements into their homes, whether in green courtyards, spacious storage rooms, or open-plan living spaces. I have observed that this design not only promotes the natural flow between indoors and outdoors, but also It brings about the effect of relaxing the whole body.In addition, in order to add warmth and luxury, I chose titanium-plated metal and natural stone extensions. These materials herald subtle drastic changes under natural light, injecting a rich layering into the space to comply with environmental protection and health standards. It is also the sustainability emphasized in the Argentinian design philosophy to relax and find a haven with nature intact in the midst of diverse urban life.

The President 15 Guest House masterfully incorporates far-infrared wood flooring throughout - what inspired this health-conscious material choice, and how does it align with your broader vision for sustainable luxury living?

Far-infrared wood flooring was chosen with deep consideration for the health of the occupants. This material has a gentle heat output that helps regulate the structure and recirculate while bringing natural warmth to the space. The understanding of sustainable living not only provides a functional environment, but also improves people's health and shows respect for the environment in details.This health-conscious material is fully consistent with our vision of sustainable luxury living. The continuous attitude towards life is reflected in every design decision, allowing the space to find a balance between nature and luxury, so that the occupants can get a lasting comfort and satisfy.

In designing President 15 Guest House, you created an intriguing interplay between mirrors and natural light - could you share the thought process behind using reflective properties to amplify space while maintaining the intimate atmosphere of a vacation home?

In the process of designing President 15, the application of mirror reflection brought rich visual layers and extension effects to the space, which not only added to the spaciousness of the space, but also subtly emphasized privacy, allowing residents to enjoy a relaxing time in an intimate atmosphere. For a vacation experience, the clever use of mirrors and careful arrangements reflect the outdoor natural landscape, allowing people to feel the extension and integration of the outdoor environment indoors. This design makes the space both open and private, maintaining a tranquil atmosphere.This design strategy not only effectively simulates the feeling of envelopment of the natural landscape, but also accurately conveys the atmosphere of a holiday home, making the space appear spacious and comfortable, while retaining the necessary privacy. The overall effect achieves visual continuity between indoor and outdoor landscapes, making residents feel as if they are in nature without losing security and intimacy. This is exactly the balance I sought in this project: between comfort and privacy, to provide an intimate and enjoyable holiday experience.
