The Rejuvenating Nordic Home

This project is about renovating a one-story residence for elderly people. After finalizing the floor plan, the first priorities in the beginning of this project were to renovate the pipelines with waterproofing and to conduct basic engineering projects that helps to enhance the spatial physique of the residence. The purpose thereof is to ensure that users are provided with cost-effective overall design within the time limit.

The actual indoor area of the residence is only about 75 m2. Apart from integrating the end view wall of the foyer and dining room and designing a dressing room in the master bedroom to satisfy the demands for big storage and three independent rooms, the designer has, in response to the owner’s passion for cooking, created a U-shaped open kitchen area with high and low functional platforms. The dining area, which is full of coziness like that of a lounge bar, really helps to warm up the atmosphere and increase the interaction between friends and family members.

As the owner likes the lively, characteristic, and Nordic leisure home design, the designer has used royal blue, chrome yellow, a large surface of heart wood color and healthy materials to interpret the full house profile of this residence while enriching the vitality of different space therein with sharp contrast. It is especially so for the double-sided cabinet design of the TV wall. This specially designed wall is used not only to place the refrigerator, but also to create an intimate relationship between the living room and dining room while ensuring their independence. Similarly, the ingenious two-stage bathroom design that differentiates between guest and home uses is also an excellent example of adaptation to local conditions.
