WEN-BO LAND

The client is an extroverted man who loves coffee and cooking. The design team removed part of the interior walls to transform the original 3+2 room layout into 2+2 rooms. In addition, the design team paid extra attention to the planning of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. They introduced sufficient light in the open plan public area and shaped the living room and dining room, where people gather, into the core section. The whole space is a modern, low-saturation style, and the white wood flooring makes the space look more spacious. The coffee cabinet with blue and green tones contrasts with the lighter tones of the surrounding area, which is eye-catching and presents the function of the area and the client's living style. The core of the project is the living and dining room where people gather. The coffee cabinet is a large monochromatic Fenix panel. Its matte texture stands out in the light-colored area, thus highlighting the client's passion for pour-over coffee. At the same time, the design team used arc elements in this project to reduce the sharpness of the corners of the ceiling, façade, or cabinetry, thus presenting a smooth layout, walkways, and furniture. Moreover, the rounded corners of the beams provide a moderate distance between the spaces so that people do not feel compressed. In this project, except for the master bedroom, which is a hidden door that provides privacy, other doors are matte glass. The design team discarded the heavy doors and used transparent glass to create a visual effect of spatial extension for the small space. Last but not least, the entrance, public and private areas are in three different colors and flooring methods: mismatched, herringbone, and 1/3 mismatched. The foyer is paved with dark-colored faux stone to resist stains. In the public area, white wood panels create a bright and fresh visual effect. In the private area, the Japanese wood flooring expresses the beauty of minimalism.
