Private Residence at Yun Jin Dong Fang Pairs in Shanghai

It has taken some of that romance to Shanghai, presenting an elegant and artsy living experience. The designer Nathan rearranged the apartment's layout, and a sense of ceremony arises from the creative and artistic features he added to the hallway, creating a progressive visual effect. Curving lines are used to soften the living room, and the sectional sofas are the highlight of the space. The floor-to-ceiling windows are co-designed by the Nathan-led design team and ACY Windows & Doors. The tailor-made artsy marble is also researched by design team. Nathan has put a lot of thought into designing the wall where the TV set is placed. He added a fireplace and a big mirror to hide the television when it’s not on. The client’s favorite piano sits in the corner of the living room as an art installation, adding some peace and elegance to the space. The bar counter is made entirely of Bulgari marble, it reminds people of the countless street corners in Paris. The soft colors and entertaining shapes paint a stylish, unique, and intimate picture of the space. Nathan rejected the idea of a regular balcony and applied many natural elements instead. He replaced the original fences with a window wall that could be controlled electronically, introduced smart devices such as a rain sensor, allowing the upper side of the window to rise and fall automatically under different weather. The dining room has two separate spaces dedicated to Chinese and Western cuisines. It strikes one’s visuals in terms of how the space is arranged. The designer relocated the bedroom door to solve the problem of several rooms sharing the same exit of the passageway and avoid future interruptions, added a study/screening room inside the bedroom, and the vintage elements are expressed in a modern way. The master bathroom has exotic designs. Elements from nature bring a touch of green to the space and create a comforting atmosphere. The bedroom for the client’s daughter is a room full of a kid’s fantasy. The chess room takes in elements from traditional Chinese culture and gives them a modern look.
