Production Technology
Carrara marble, brushed brass, matte steel, velvet, carved hardwood, crystal lighting, and vintage wallpaper were precisely sourced and customized. The design applies layering techniques and site-specific installation to orchestrate harmony among tactile contrasts and spatial hierarchies.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was achieving balance between artistic expressiveness and domestic comfort. Sourcing compatible materials with diverse tactile and visual properties required global procurement and on-site prototyping. Aligning lighting precision with spatial emotion also demanded iterative testing and refinement.
Research
This was an applied design research project. The goal was to explore multi-sensory spatial narratives. Through visual studies, material testing, and client interviews, we analyzed aesthetic response patterns. Insights showed that bold contrast with soft transitions creates emotional depth, enhancing spatial memory and satisfaction.
Inspiration
The project draws inspiration from the concept of duality timeless classicism and bold modernity. Influenced by haute couture aesthetics and museum-like curation, the design transforms a luxury villa into a personal gallery of lifestyle and taste, evoking emotional connections through visual storytelling.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2023 in Beijing and finished in December 2024 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
The space is designed for intuitive flow and immersive experience. Zoning is articulated through materials and light; seating and functional areas align with sightlines and circulation paths. Scene based lighting and curated décor guide emotional interaction and lifestyle behavior.
