A tranquil charm in gray and white gently unfolds as if a sacred haven imbued with the philosophy of life. Within the intimate space of Zen, the interplay of stone and timber softly narrates the aesthetics of peaceful living. Transparent glass, akin to a mirror of the soul, allows natural light to flow freely, capturing the eternal portrait of dawn and dusk. Elegant arcs trace a rhythmic dance and soothe the hustling heart with silent whispers, inviting the soul to sway and unwind while indulging amidst the unfinished charisma. The sound of purity and authenticity resonates, cleaning the worldly dust and rekindling one's essence. Hence, "returning home" becomes a profound and timeless journey of mind.



As comprehending the homeowner's longing for "softness and layering," the design team set gray and white as primary color palettes. It integrated warm wood textures and lustrous stone surfaces to create a sophisticated simplicity style. Ripple glass reflects natural light, performing an airy and tranquil ambiance. The arcs applied to the living room ceiling and the walls eliminate the structure's stiffness and enhance a bright and extending feel for the interior. In addition, the open plan layout caters to a dynamic lifestyle that accommodates frequent moving and multitasking in a home office setting. The curation is a testament to the most significant collaboration of aesthetics and functionality.

The project employs a grayish-white palette to create a tranquil atmosphere that integrates metal, glass, leather, and curved and geometric elements to interpret dimensional variation and delicate textures. Substituting expansive metal, acid-etched mirror veneering applied to the TV wall delivers gentle and frosty reflections and complements elegant approaches. On the other hand, the display cabinet features black shelves and contrasts with the elegant mirrors to manifest stylish sleekness. Above the dining table, the Italian pendant light inspired by the moon’s surface casts a poetic interplay of light and shadow with irregular gold leafing and LED illumination, infusing a distinctive artistic sensibility throughout the space.
