More About Soothing Home Residential Apartment
Soothing Home is the interior design of a duplex apartment. The project combines modern simplicity with a warm and lasting character to form a calm and elegant living space. The original staircase in the center of the home was bulky and blocked natural daylight, leaving the adjacent hallway dark. A new open staircase replaces the old structure, letting light pass through and giving a lighter and broader sense of space. Materials include marble, quartz tiles, iron, natural brushed veneer, Japanese paints, engineered wood flooring and imported wallpaper.
About Kevin Chu
A home is more than a place to live; it is a way of life that requires cultivation. It tells a story we all yearn for, one that makes daily living more engaging. Interior design extends beyond circulation and function; it is about meeting human needs and emotions, creating a space where family members feel inspired to return and connect. A home reflects the soul and represents the art of living, embodying sincerity and emotion while revealing both the essence of life and the unique character of each space. Free from rigid stylistic boundaries, the design builds subtle layers between the tangible and the intangible.
