Production Technology

The dining room continues the overall space's design languages, and meanwhile incorporates metal and wooden veneers to create a contrasting visual effect and a sense of layering. The large French window brings in daylight and frames outdoor landscape. It provides an open view whilst stimulating an open state of mind.
The floor lamp draws on the natural form of molten lava and melting glacier, presenting an aesthetic appearance through irregular balls and glittering effects.

Design Challenge

The greatest challenge of the project lay in the creation of outdoor landscape. The design team had to figure out how to construct an outdoor courtyard that incorporates mountain and water elements as well as an artistic, poetic ambience, and how to let the courtyard connect with the interior space. This required careful consideration of spatial scale and the fusion of indoor and outdoor atmosphere.

Project Duration

The project started in May 2021 and finished in March 2022 in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China.

Furnishings such as the polar bear-like decoration imply global challenges such as melting glaciers and animals' loss of habitat, and indicate a call for sustainability and harmonious coexistence between human and nature.

Inspiration

The client requested a warm, unique home that expresses personal taste and pursuit of life, rather than a conventional closed residence. The home was hoped to not only meet functional requirements but also evoke emotions, so as to further build interpersonal connection and produce a cozy atmosphere suitable for chatting with friends.
