Production Technology: In order to achieve the openness and cohesiveness within the space, designer removed unnecessary architectural wall and applied white-grey mineral paint onto walls and mineral flooring. Designer also introduced the curve form for foyer as area divider and also serves as a media to soften the space. A space was created with minimum materials yet with varied texture expressions throughout time and its interaction with natural light. A space with timeless style but it varied by time.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to maximizing spaciousness towards a small-scale space. In order to achieve that and create a timeless space, the cohesiveness and harmony within the space is the vital concern during design process. Designer applies monochrome earthy scheme yet with varied material texture, all aims to achieve the concept of aesthetic lies in simplicity.
Research: a)How to maximize the space-
In order to maximize the space with more possibilities and flexibilities, designer needs to rearrange the architectural walls at its best. Prior to do that, designer needs to decide the area for each zone based on analyzing owner’s life habit.

b)How the materials were selected-
Materials were selected based on its natural traits and texture. For the wood and white-gray mineral paint, designer keeps its wood grain and artisan’s touchup, both provides abundant material expression under monochrome scheme.
Inspiration: The design inspiration was derived from the concept of Japandi style. Designer aims to focus on applying original materials to approach the concept with sophisticated contour line. A space was created with minimum materials yet with varied texture expressions throughout time and its interaction with natural light. A space with timeless style but it varied by time. The design goal is to provide different perspective or perception towards space itself, and discovering the true aesthetic value.
