About The Nude Flat Te Hoahoa Rōpū o Roto mō te Whare Noho
Ko te Nude Flat he hoahoa rōpū o roto mō te whare noho i Hong Kong. E 1,468 mita pūrua te rahi o te wāhi o roto, ā, i whakaaweawetia e te hoahoanga Cycladic o ngā moutere o Kariki. Ka whakamahia ngā āhua kōpiko mō ngā pakitara, ngā taonga whare me ngā taipitopito, nō reira he onge ngā rārangi tōtika. Kei te tomokanga he pakitara kōpiko me tētahi papa rākau e whakaatu ana i tētahi tauira rotu ā-taiao. Ko te Ottostone hangahanga kāore he hononga e hanga ana i te pakitara kōpiko, ā, ka whakamahia te māpere māwhero i te rūma horoi iti me te māpere Calacatta i te rūma kaukau. I whakahoutia ngā rūma moe taketake e toru hei rūma moe matua me tētahi rūma kākahu hīkoi-atu me tētahi rūma kaukau me te jacuzzi.

- Unique Properties
- Stepping into the foyer, you will be greeted by a curvaceous wall incorporating an organic lotus-patterned wooden floor reflecting a sense of fluidity from the natural surroundings of the space.
The chandelier handmade by a Portuguese craftsman contrasts directly with the detailed brass marble dinner table. The contours of the furnishings are soft and curved creating contrasting lines and textures to the neat lines of the fireplace while natural daylight is spread strategically all over the home. The off-white shade perfectly matches to exude a warm glow even with the beige monotone. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The project is 1,468 square meters.

- Production Technology
- Inspired by pin-up pink sand beaches in Crete Greece, Pink hue marble was used in the powder. For the streamlined effect on the curved wall, the designers sourced seamless artificial Ottostone.
Calcutta marble and white were added to the bathroom, and the veining in the stone brings visual interest, spacious and bright to the space. - Design Challenge
- Custom making the round-edge furniture was one thing; the walls quite another. There is a particularly challenging replaced the offending sharp corner to be a curved door leading into the couple's bedroom, continuing with the same design language.
- Research
- The design is used seductive simplicity, and a neutral palette to design a serene and sensual living area by embracing the curve.
Be it a wall, a piece of furniture, or even a detail such as a door handle, there is barely a straight line to be seen. For the wall finishes, a group of artists was assembled to hand-paint stucco patterns in different variations. - Inspiration
- This project is inspired by the Cycladic culture, best known for its schematic flat female idols carved out of the islands' pure white marble. It is important for the design to follow the core values of traditional Cycladic architecture found on the Greek islands by discovering its curvaceous shapes in all kinds of forms.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2021 and finished in July 2022 in Hong Kong.
- Operation Flow
- The original three bedrooms were more than the client needed, so the space was reconfigured to provide a generous main suite with an extravagant walk-in wardrobe and a wellness-inspired bathroom with a jacuzzi.
