The project is an old apartment renovation, where the site boasts a uniquely structured "lightwell space", serving as the heart of the home. To fully capitalize on this distinctive feature, the designer crafted an interior in a soft cream-toned palette, enhancing the natural interplay between light and color. Curved elements were thoughtfully incorporated to infuse the space with warmth and fluidity.

The layout was reconfigured to align with the residents' lifestyle, transforming one of the bedrooms into an open walk-in closet, significantly enhancing both storage capacity and display functionality. Additionally, to reflect the homeowner’s interests, a custom display cabinet was installed in the entryway for collectible figurines, seamlessly integrating practicality with individuality, and making the home both functional and uniquely expressive.

At the entrance, a custom display cabinet showcases the homeowner’s prized collectibles, turning them into the first highlight upon returning home. Precision lighting accentuates the unique charm of each piece, creating an atmosphere of surprise and anticipation from the very first glance.

The open walk-in closet seamlessly integrates multi-functional storage and mirrored elements, offering a spacious and practical dressing area. In the bedroom, the headboard features exquisite leather upholstery with meticulously stitched embossed patterns, subtly exuding a sense of luxury through fine detailing. The overall space is anchored in a warm cream-beige palette, accented with soft, earthy orange tones, composing a tranquil and comforting home of understated elegance.

The original dark-toned TV feature wall has been preserved and refined, introducing a contrast against the soft, light color scheme, enriching the space with depth and dimension. Working within the existing structural framework, the designer incorporated a gracefully curved light band, tracing the ceiling’s contours to create a sense of fluid movement. This harmonious blend of light and form softens the apartment’s original bold architectural character, crafting a space where light and shadow interweave in an elegant symphony.
