Shenzhen Kingkey City Plaza Residence

Contemporary home design extends far beyond traditional living arrangements. This space is conceived as a multifunctional environment that adapts to the diverse needs of modern life. It seamlessly transforms from a productive workspace to a vibrant social hub, and then to a serene personal sanctuary for reflection and intimate parent-child interactions. Each transition is carefully curated to provide a dynamic and enriching daily experience.

Reflecting the homeowner's global perspective and appreciation for contemporary art and tea culture, the design embraces a borderless approach to living. By blending the romantic warmth of Southern French aesthetics with subtle Eastern cultural elements, the space becomes a testament to cultural fusion—a relaxed, inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and personal experience.

This project explores the delicate interplay between light, nature, and human experience, focusing on creating living spaces that harmonize with the resident's body and emotional landscape. Rather than adhering to a rigid stylistic framework, the design embraces the complexity of human emotions, transcending traditional design dichotomies of black and white, traditional and modern, or Eastern and Western aesthetics.

The living room's circulation path is deliberately designed to promote spatial fluidity, allowing residents to move effortlessly between different areas and scenarios. Strategic connections between functional elements—such as the bar and desk, and the integrated desk and tea table—enable seamless transitions between work, relaxation, and social interactions. This approach transforms the space from a mere physical container into a dynamic emotional vessel that reflects and supports the inhabitant's lifestyle.

Material selection prioritizes environmental sustainability and responsible design. The primary materials include natural wood veneer and finger-jointed boards, which not only showcase the warm, organic texture of wood but also demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices. The color palette draws inspiration from soft wood tones, capturing the light and airy essence of Southern French aesthetics while incorporating golden accents that symbolize prosperity and prestige in Eastern cultural traditions. This nuanced approach creates a unique cultural dialogue within the space.
