This baby grand piano, pristine in its ivory elegance, has been the cherished companion of the homeowner from childhood to adulthood. While many would envision placing it center stage, bathed in magnificent lighting to create the most outstanding exhibit, for her, the true beauty lies in the joy of playing the piano with ease and relaxation.



With this sentiment in mind, the designer embarked on a mission to craft a refined and minimalist living space, free from excessive decoration. Rooted in the homeowner's inner needs, the design embraced minimalism and subtle interventions, allowing the piano to naturally emerge as the heart of the home, seamlessly integrating the breathtaking mountain and sea views into daily life.



To alleviate spatial constraints, the designer incorporated large transparent glass partitions with soft lighting, achieving both sound insulation and a softened visual impact of the building's beams, thereby enhancing the overall visual appeal of the space. This not only provided a comfortable and relaxed environment for piano playing but also fostered connectivity between the living room and kitchen, creating a semi-open public space where the homeowner and her children could enjoy melodious music and cooking together.



In the bedroom area, the designer strategically concealed doors within the walls to reduce visual instability caused by their opening and closing. Wood-grain textured panels were also introduced to infuse natural elements into the interior, adding to the serene ambiance of the space.



Upon closer exploration of this meticulously designed space, one can discover refined personalized touches, such as the octagonal tiles at the entrance, textured milk tea-colored lacquer, and metal frames, as well as the carefully chosen solid wood veneers, all contributing to the exquisite and pure essence of the home.



In the coming decade, this space will witness the harmonious melodies of life being played by the children alongside their parents.
