A Nurturing Home

he 4 bedroom apartment Is located on the 26 Floor of this high rise residential apartment offering panoramic views of the Yangtze River. The apartment features bespoke furniture throughout paired with contemporary artworks. It was a conscientious effort to design a space that exemplifies the living lifestyle of a modern family and to breakthrough the traditional sense of display. Intentional removing the sofa from the living room enhances its usage of space to its full capacity.

Breaking away from the tradition of having a sofa in the living room and to integrate the communal spaces in to a large room where members of the family can interact and be social. We endeavour to create these spaces to be part of bringing the family closer and not a space for entertaining. We hope to make the largest space in our home, relinquish to the most important people in the home which are the family members, not outside guests.

We envisioned the owners are the “crème de la crème “ of its class. They are worldy, cultured and discerning, making the world their learning ground and thus it's their driving force behind their success. Being a collector of all things culture, books are one of many things this owner collects. We specifically design this space so that the reader has many locations to read like on the platform next the full height windows overlooking the Yangtze river, on the bean bag or snuggle in a cosy chair in front of the fire.

We hope that through this breakthrough concept, we can make this space a more flexible, open planned space with more opportunities to leave their bedrooms and put down their devices, so as to communicate and interact with each other quenching their thirst for knowledge. Through this daring concept, we hope t to bring inspiration and motivation to all families especially parents that a space can actively become the families’ core for love, education and ultimately growth.
