Aura of Country Style

This project is an old residence of 84 square meters with comfortable American country styling. The patterned tiles at the entrance and elegant coat cabinet, the theme makes its transition into the public domain with timber-patterned floor tiles, genuine timber dining table, barn-door design and blue ceramic kitchen cabinet, so whether it be material and color selection, or humble decorations, it manifests a comfortable country style while the timber-pattern tiles in the kitchen adds to the warmth of the country style. Besides, in order to provide design adhering to the needs of the client, the designer indeed visited the existing residence of the client during the conception stage, so as to understand the living rituals of the client which would inform the future design considerations in function and aesthetics. The design team has selected environmentally friendly building materials with German organic paint for the whole interior with Japanese ceramic tiles to allow the children to stay away from allergy. In addition, especially designed for the client, there was a bed next to the window corner to enjoy sunshine, as well as having a storage space above the TV cabinet which also polished the beam and column while warm-patterned pine was used to conceal the beam above the dining table for a consistent spatiality. Having converted the original tatami room into the bedroom and reading space for the boy, its external wall is embedded with cutlery cabinet adding warmth and comfort to the dining area so that the originally closed-off kitchen have become open-plan that also accommodates the placement of dining table and mini-bar, all of which has optimized the usage of the public domain, complemented by ceramic blue kitchen cabinet instead of the conventional white color tone.
