miform Sicilia is the Italian-style whole-house design showing the adherence to Italian aesthetics. It comes with simple artistic structures and multiple fine textures to interpret the relationship between modern urbanite and residential spaces, while also revealing occupants' delicate and romantic taste as well as their pursuit of a quality life.

Based on the full consideration to occupants' moving lines and the space required, the whole layout is divided into multiple functional areas via muti-level division modes. To elevate the whole space to the next level, the layout is further harmonized with the color scheme, material selection and textures. Together with cozy furnishings, the above features add up to fill the space with softness and warmth, thus repelling the sense of emptiness and cold.

The space arrangement of doors, walls and cabinets sheds the independent pattern, and features the integrated design made possible by the door-to-top structure and no-exposed hole technique. This subtle change creates simple and flat facades without the use of straighteners, hinges or segmented design. The cabinets in different functional areas are designed based on occupants' moving lines in order to cater to their daily needs. Such a reasonable cabinet design avoids disordering the space arrangement in daily use, and also drives away the sense of emptiness brought by the whole layout and walls. The natural light and the original wall lamps coexist with each other in the space, letting the light and shadow flow freely in the space. And this effect further complements the cabinets and adds a reserved yet dynamic vibe to the whole textures.

To create a simple and concise space with integrated functionality, the earth-tone gray wood veneer is applied to the whole project, which is further collaborated with Italian coating process to take on multiple aesthetic features, clear and bright, matte and nature. The ICA paint (a kind of liquid metallic paint) boasts metallic texture and unique handmade touch, rendering the whole space elegant, simple and solemn. The above selections of material, process and paint blend together in concord, allowing occupants to show their personalities and giving them visual satisfactory.
