Autumn Rhythm

We construct for our clients, a couple who are about to retire, a space in imitation of nature that is serene and unruffled, after the long seafaring days. It is like a stroll in an autumn woods, with the evening sun slanting through the trees, recounting tales of days gone by. The flow of time and the maturity of years are like autumn days. It’s a tranquil life force that, after trials and struggles, reminds people of where they have started long ago. The project covers 109 square meter, with three bedrooms, a dining room and a living room. Its low-profile, exquisite colors of gray and white serve to imbue the space with a sense of calm and peace, revealing how unperturbed and warm days here are. The space is preluded with an entrance of hardwood and stone materials, with the rhythmic play of light and shadow giving a feel of being in a natural landscape. One’s attention focuses on the gorgeous elaboration of peony stone on the TV wall, which harmonizes with the wall at the entrance and the modern splash-ink painting in the living room. A sensual pleasure of the never-ending cycle of the four seasons is thereby incorporated into the rational and orderly space, presenting rich gradations while leaving something blank to resemble the void in a landscape painting. It is like having a dialogue with nature and adding serenity to the space, connoting a designing vocabulary of toned-down luxury.
