With a row hanging lamps on top of the bar dining table, echoing clear yellow light. After the logs are transported by cranes, the carpentry painted on-site, retaining wood natural texture and bring city-style great detail.
Research: Whole spaces are realization of lifestyle of bachelor, made the space like a simple and stylish playground, despite projection screen of 100-inch living room, space to sit and watch a game, or maybe drink in the dining hall or terrace, no matter which public area it is, all can turn into friends gathering spot. The sharp gap between the master bedroom and living room not only present smooth space flow but also form single territory. No matter where it is, privacy not a problem.
Inspiration: To highlight freedom of a bachelor lives alone, removed the living room, dining hall and kitchen wall partition, connect them not only by sight, light and airflow, but also create open living space. American metropolis style can best manifest the charm of the luxury fine house. Take off the historical decoration, yet retain the American neoclassical modernity to carry on American classic cozy and generous style.
