Postmodern Monologue is a residential interior design for a 338 square metre home. The project combines postmodern and minimalist ideas to create a calm and balanced living space. The layout was reorganised to form four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and a walk-in closet, supporting multi-generational living. Shared living and dining areas, a laundry room and communal storage complete the plan. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light, while custom storage keeps the interior orderly and functional.

- Research
- The designer reconstructs the spatial layout by using postmodern techniques to meet the owner' s pursuit of freedom, comfort, and art. The project emphasizes a balance between functionality and aesthetics, precisely manipulating space to create four suites and communal areas suitable for family living. The overall design reflects the owner' s personality and lifestyle, forming a tranquil and culturally rich home that conveys the emotions and mutual respect among family members.
- Inspiration
- Influenced by postmodernism and combined with the Canadian-returned owner' s desire for a free and relaxed lifestyle, the design takes space as a starting point to break the original boundaries, creating a highly functional residence filled with serenity, freedom, and balance. The overall density relationships are maintained through architectural planning, with each function revolving around the home' s landscape, presenting a stable state that is both centripetal and centrifugal.
