Unique Properties

As much as powerful colors can be on the soul, the design team boldly utilized sharp colors and variable form to shape a rich spatial expression, with material detailing to trigger a psychological impulse. The living room floor was interwoven with two types of scratch-resistant timber flooring extended all the way to dining area wall to subtly demarcate interior domains.

Dimensions & Packaging

The designer placed two full-height storage cabinet which shaped the transition zone from the entrance to the living room where the vintage white color also evoked the elegance of the interior. While the entrance detailing such as the beautiful arc-angle design decimated the volumetric oppressions, as well as providing ventilation, the dining area brought warmth yet with a touch of personal tonality, as well as functional flexibility where it can be adjusted for the use by 2 or 4 people.
