Sourcing compatible materials with diverse tactile and visual properties required global procurement and on-site prototyping. Aligning lighting precision with spatial emotion also demanded iterative testing and refinement.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2023 in Beijing and finished in December 2024 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- The space is designed for intuitive flow and immersive experience. Zoning is articulated through materials and light; seating and functional areas align with sightlines and circulation paths. Scene based lighting and curated décor guide emotional interaction and lifestyle behavior.
- Research
- This was an applied design research project. The goal was to explore multi-sensory spatial narratives. Through visual studies, material testing, and client interviews, we analyzed aesthetic response patterns. Insights showed that bold contrast with soft transitions creates emotional depth, enhancing spatial memory and satisfaction.
- Inspiration
- The project draws inspiration from the concept of duality timeless classicism and bold modernity. Influenced by haute couture aesthetics and museum-like curation, the design transforms a luxury villa into a personal gallery of lifestyle and taste, evoking emotional connections through visual storytelling.
