Warm sunlight streams in via the window, gently draping a sheer veil over the pure white paneled walls and herringbone wood flooring, subtly a delicate touch to the rustic American countryside style. Light and shadow dance through every corner with time, brightening the greenery by the window and accentuating the memorabilia on the shelf. Like a pilgrimage of life, it witnesses the serene and intimate daily life of the residents who rely on each other for warmth and comfort.



In response to the female homeowner's passion for painting and American style, we incorporate floral tiles and herringbone wood flooring to seamlessly merge the space with the hallway, eliminating spatial boundaries. By thoughtfully reconfiguring the layout and removing partitions in the shared area, people can communicate without obstruction, in line with our design philosophy of prioritizing people-oriented spaces. Additionally, a glass house was designed next to the dining room window, with ample natural light from the large windows and skylights. This provides the perfect space for homeowners to enjoy the sunshine, plant greenery, and stargaze at night, especially those who love outdoor activities.



The living and dining areas feature a pure white base that enhances the transparency and brightness of the space. The modern-style paneled walls with simple linear features add a layered effect through the play of light and shadow. Complement with the vintage wooden dining table and chairs, a classical chandelier, iron lattice doors, and Venetian blinds, giving the room a natural and peaceful American country vibe. The colorful, lively floral tiles and elegant herringbone wood flooring underfoot elevate the texture and richness of the space, creating a graceful and serene sanctuary.
