Grayish green residential

This is a 13-year-old residence which is on the second floor with 4 small rooms. The lighting is relatively insufficient because of the distance between the residence and the neighboring buildings is close. Structural beams and columns make the space oppressive. In order to improve the comfort of the house, the designer strengthened the sense of visual penetration to expand the openness of public space.

Considering the narrowness of the original layout, the designer removed the partition wall between the kitchen and the study room. The kitchen is changed to a central island to open the public space interaction. The study room are increased the amount of light because of semi-open glass partitions. The design goal is to respond to the harmonious relationship between human and nature. The designer let sunshine, greenery and breeze penetrate into every aspect of life.

The owner is a girl who loves to travel and sports. She has multiple considerations for the needs of the new residence, such as wider open areas, and solitary space for independent work.

Since the owner loves the outdoors, the tone of all space is mainly based on "light wood color that responds nature". The designer took the grayish green preferred by the owner as the flash color, such as the blue-green sofa in the living room, and the gray-green closet in the master bedroom. In the space, dark wood-colored furniture, leather goods or linen fabrics are placed to present a lazy retro atmosphere.
