Drawing inspiration from the family’s custom crest, the design transforms its visual language into a clean and stylized “Tree of Life” motif—expressing personal identity, vitality, and the joy of family life. The double-height space is restructured to offer fluid circulation, softened with curved forms that bring warmth and balance. Natural light floods the interiors through expansive windows, while a fusion of modern and neoclassical elements, bespoke furniture, and thoughtful lighting design creates a quietly luxurious ambiance.
Along the staircase feature wall and overhead beam, layered wood panels with recessed joints evoke the dimensional, organic growth of the Tree of Life. From every angle, the viewer perceives the motif’s irregular, animated rhythm. On the second-floor study, push-out clerestory windows were installed based on site orientation, wind direction, and sunlight patterns—encouraging natural cross-ventilation throughout the interior.
The homeowner’s handcrafted art tiles are creatively transformed into glowing “fruits” on the Tree of Life—delicate inserts of acrylic, dried flowers, and LED lighting embedded in the stair wall, weaving a poetic atmosphere of renewal and nature. In the living room, the sofa backdrop features semi-translucent jade stone combined with acrylic and backlighting, revealing crystalline textures that subtly shift with light. The walls throughout the home are painted in soft white with a hint of desaturated grey spray, imparting a minimalist, cool-toned luxury.
