Yang Peng · CLIENT: 8C Art Space
Spark is a residential interior design for a four-floor house with a total area of 1,448 square meters. The interior combines minimal white walls and ceilings with dark timber floors laid in a herringbone pattern. A twisting staircase connects the floors and rises to the attic, and the whitewashed balustrade curves into a sculptural ribbon. Partitions were reduced to join the kitchen, dining area and lounge in one open plan. Large windows bring natural light into the living room and frame views of the garden.

- Production Technology
- To create this open-plan space, some partitions have been removed and transformed into a space for entertaining and relaxation. Adjoining kitchen, dining area and lounge, this intervention allows the residents to enjoy a more contemporary style of living. The coving of the ceiling is curved, forming a delicate junction between the wall and ceiling, and softening the character of the 3.4-metre high volume.
- Design Challenge
- The processing of structural curve surface would be the principle challenge while creating this space. The curving staircase was made of several white-paint steel panels in different heights, which had been cut and forged for tightly connecting and turning out a naturally smooth radian. The living room in void structure features TV backdrop like the page corner rolled up. This bespoke curly shape in aluminum plate appears to be made by the procedures of manual lofting, making master plate, building in the wall, spraying finishing paint afterwards.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2018 and finished in June 2019 in Changsha, China
- Inspiration
- The designer grasps an understanding that the space itself could be decked out with natural light, art and even spatial construction. Hence, with a total area of 1,448 square-metre, the house have been reduced the number of partitions and minimized the decorations so that the space will be perceived as a whole. This contemporary, minimalistic design approach produces the impression of coherence while creating a powerful aesthetic impact.
