As to the entry, the bright marble is used as the frame and with the extension of it, the contrast between the floor in matte texture has made a theme.
- Operation and Interaction
- The client of the mansion is two sisters so they have chosen yellow as their gate color which has connected to the public domains. However, the concept of curved shapes and color blocks have extended to the private area, and according to the character of the sisters, the designer has modified the use of the color and style.
