The 56 square meters limited residence features an open kitchen. The solid wall between the living room and kitchen is replaced by a half-height TV wall, which divides the spaces.

The ink-colored main wall and the white cabinets provide a high contrast look, while the gray hand-applied texture on two sides adds a rustic atmosphere to balance out a bold black and white color palette and bring a personalized touch to the main scene. The TV wall is designed with dark tones. Dark colors make the TV wall recede to the background and visually expand the space.



Upon opening the door, the grayscale coating of faux fair-faced concrete covers the entrance. The hand-brushed traces reveal a gentle and elegant humanistic texture, while the narrow corridor is reflected in the mirror to add depth to the space. The tranquil and stress-free atmosphere in the field brings peace to the mind and soul gradually.



The changes of flooring materials lead to the public area. The open floor plan creates an unobstructed visual line, and the beveled edges on the ink-colored TV wall soften the rigidity of sharp corners. Besides, the lower TV cabinet is beveled from the outside to the inside to create a focal point. The geometric assemblage creates the impression of a stable but not heavy main wall.



The partition wall between the living room and study room is replaced by a sliding glass door, which provides a generous visual depth. The glass keeps the room transparent while also providing an independent space. The study room is enclosed by reeded glass. Thanks to its ability to partially obscure what's behind it, reeded glass can provide privacy. The elevated couch with ample storage space below is a practical solution for the small space dwellers that need to accommodate overnight guests.



Upon entering the bedroom, the irregular special lacquer on the wall behind the bed is hand-painted to implant the warmth from the craftsman. The deep ocean blue headboard continues to add a touch of serenity to the atmosphere.
