Material Laboratory

A designer’s home—a space beyond definition.

This project is conceived not just as a living space, but as an experimental environment where daily life and design merge. The intent is to explore materials and perspectives, creating a home that is both unique and warm.

The space blends marine board, mushroom-finished stone, and raw aluminum, layering rich textures that transform cold concrete walls into warm, tactile surfaces. Natural light and thoughtful illumination further enhance this sense of comfort, while different materials resonate like a symphony in harmony.

Rather than pursuing complete openness, the layout emphasizes practicality and subtle subdivision. The dining table becomes the core of the home—serving as a place for meals, work, tea, and gatherings—anchored by circular ceiling and floor designs that echo one another. Traditional Chinese chairs add cultural depth, balancing modernity with heritage.

Each functional zone is carefully considered: a breakfast bar links kitchen and living areas for daily convenience, while the master suite integrates a separate dressing room to streamline routines and preserve privacy.

Ultimately, this is a flexible, evolving space—both home and creative studio—where design experiments coexist with daily rituals. It embodies the belief that design has no absolute standard of beauty, but is instead a reflection of attitude, vision, and the need for a private sanctuary.
