The Essence of Aesthetics

The designer used lots of linear lighting to enhance the layers of the design, and to bring out the high ceiling structure of the building. Also, the lighting arrangement extends the vision, and presents the minimal characteristic of the space.



Grey and black are chosen as the main colour tone of the space instead of wood colour. The ceiling is decorated with platinum plates; walls are painted with Italian artistic coating which allows the painter to do intricate patterns and bumpy texture. The highly aesthetic atmosphere is bloomed when the light shines on the walls.



Walls of living room and kitchen are made of Grigio Fantasy Travertine Antique, a top-class material imported from Brazil. The starry pattern of the stone seems to absorb people inside and stop the time, reminding the host to cherish every moment. As for the sofa in the living room, it is made of oiled and waxed leather which will develop a patina as time goes by. The marked contrast between the stone and leather weakens the sense of oppression from the roughness.



Concrete walls are replaced with French window and glass, introducing not only sunlight but scenery from the outside. Each space is arranged appropriately; the designer simplified the redundant decoration, at the same time, he left the space for functional storage. Though the space is depicted in a low-key luxury style, design and life intertwine with each other.

The leaves and branches of a 6-meter-tall Madagascar Almond planted in the balcony reaches to the studio on the second floor, which eliminates the boundary between the building and nature. The balcony is pave with wood-plastic composites with a custom-made stainless-steel pond and flowerbed. Multiple materials are used to enhance layers of taste. The corridor on the second floor is imitated the figure of gallery; thus, the “non-popular” works of Lei Shi and Bernard Buffet are hung on the walls of corridor. The designer would like to present the host’s rebellious and unique taste of aesthetics, connecting people and the space which can helps to provide inspirations to the host.
