The Nude Flat is a residential interior design in Hong Kong. The interior covers 1,468 square meters and is inspired by Cycladic architecture of the Greek islands. Curved forms are used for walls, furniture and details, so straight lines are rare. The entrance features a curved wall and a wooden floor with an organic lotus pattern. Seamless artificial Ottostone shapes the curved wall, while pink marble is used in the powder room and Calacatta marble in the bathroom. The three original bedrooms were reconfigured into a main suite with a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a jacuzzi.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
