New Vision

This project is a two-family house adjacent to the waterfront, with an indoor area of 240 sqm. The business owners is about to retire, and their children are all married. Due to the change of living members and different stages of life, the owners hope to prepare for retirement life early. It is hoped that the space after consolidation can meet a small amount of official needs, improve the original living functions, and re-plan the spatial pattern.

Designer therefore eliminates compartments that do not meet the needs, raise high ceilings, open space scales, integrate the storage and movement lines of food and kitchen, add the owners’ favorite Tatami room, and adjust the configuration of bathroom to meet the living habits of the owners, etc., to create a new retirement living space.

The porch is decorated with streamlined rose gold wall and integrated after the storage function with obsidian marble floor, showing elegant atmosphere; the audio-visual room is removed and integrated with the original living room, and a large area of double-sided French windows reduce the visual cut by lines of the original window type; the space scale is opened to match with high ceiling, which stretches the height of the interior by 30 cm.



A large L-shaped sofa with low back balances the spatial scale; semi-open thin wall area separates the kitchen space, and hide storage cabinet, to meet the needs of kitchen storage.
