Production Technology: For its simplicity style, a few continuously line on the ceiling were used to create a sense of openness and seamless from the living area to the dining area, is powerfully tied from one space to another space.

The designer decided to use a continuously white marble from the floor to kitchen tabletop, white marble textures not only to add visual weight but also used to enhance the seamless of the peacefulness in the home, which brings the living spaces up to enviable levels. There is nothing more pleasant than spending time with family members, in which the harmony atmosphere at first-floor family area embracing the family cares about creating MEMORIES at home. The designer has fully optimized every inch of available space in this house, the “house shape” cabinet is an idea of “home in home” to create a private space and harmonic expression for the family members, meanwhile can be extra storage for the parents and kids to store theirs books and toys.

The idea for master bedroom is to create a sense on the contrast of feeling so the selection for the finishing was dark-toned timber finishing to tie back the idea of minimalist we continuing expressing the line, by using light grey texture paint for the feature wall giving back the space some of the looseness for a resting area, convert the walk-in wardrobe to a special area we decided to have a much more open walk-in wardrobe.
Design Challenge: The challenges was making sure the outcome to be nice and matches to the house owner lifestyle & yet look simple from designing the feature wall to selection of the loose furniture, we go into every detail, we are quite concerned about the texture of the loose furniture, carpet selection & curtain selection will become a mistake if not hander nicely so we did go into that detail spending time on all this detail just to making the outcome will are nice, because of that the design outcome surprisingly good it matches all the requirement to owner and the design intention is so clearly expressed.
Inspiration: We believe the idea of minimalist for interior designing is always focusing on the detail, relation between spaces and the 3 dimensional quality of space.
Project Duration: The project started in Jan 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and finished in Dec 2018.
Operation Flow: This house has an open plan living area connected with the dining area and dry kitchen. The designer uses a continuous of the big piece of marble from the floor to continue to the bar island it creates the uniqueness of the whole concept. We had proposed a skylight glass roof for part of the wet kitchen so it responded to the environment when the user is in the interior space actually still can feel the changes in the environment.
