About Utopia of the Sea Nohoanga

He kaupapa pakihi tēnei kaupapa, ā, he mea nui te pupuri i te utu. Heoi anō, i tutuki tētahi tūtohunga pai e whakataurite ana i ngā whakaarohanga ōhanga, ā, e whakauru ana i te tirohanga moana tuwhera, te hanga māmā, me te ātaahua tuawhenua. I āta whakarerekē te hoahoa i tētahi wāhi o roto e tata ana ki te 100 mita pūrua mā te tango i tētahi pakitara wehenga kia mau ai i tētahi tirohanga taonga nui. Kei te tomokanga tētahi papa whakatiketike me tētahi āhuatanga horoi onepu. E hono ana ia mā ngā arawhata ki ngā rūma moe me te ara tomokanga, e ārahi ana ki tētahi Jacuzzi haurua-waho i te mahau, ko ia te pūtake o te hoahoa.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: With an indoor area of about 100 square meters, the design strategy involved removing a room partition wall to capture the priceless view. The entrance is characterized by a raised platform with a wash and sand function, connected by stairs to different bedrooms and the entryway, culminating in a semi-outdoor Jacuzzi on the balcony—forming the core of the design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 40m2
Tags: interior design, interiordesign, interior, residential
Production Technology: The use of lightweight bricks for the raised platform and a micro-cement coating ensures structural lightness while displaying a rustic aesthetic. The space harmoniously blends Greek-style arch windows, wicker lamp art, and wooden items, dialoguing softly with the blues and greens of the outdoor seascape.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to maximize the potential of the site's inherent conditions to secure an unobstructed and expansive sea view while maintaining a balance between cost control and the optimal presentation of space quality and style.
Research: The design focused on exploiting the site's innate advantages to provide an unhindered and open seascape view, enhancing circulation, and clearly distinguishing between communal and private spaces.
Inspiration: The inspiration for this high-rise residential project, situated on the oceanfront's first row, was drawn from the breathtaking 270-degree panoramic seascape. The expansive windows and 90-degree wrap-around balcony are integral to the design, offering an unobstructed view that nurtures a luxurious and romantic living experience.
Project Duration: The project started in Jan. 2023 and finished in May. 2023 in China.
Operation Flow: The removal of one room's partition walls opened up the space, merging it with the existing dining and living area. This, along with the raised floor near the entrance, achieved an unobstructed flow, defining public and private domains within the residence.
