Praises of Wholeness

With natural veins spreading over the stone, the contemporary style is all about creating a calming and serene yet gorgeously decorated home. In order to highlight the original texture of marble, the rustic wood accents warm up the residence and balances the cold stone with less complex materials. Natural light gently flows through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the semi-open floor plan, the light and shadow serve as bridge of the harmonious interaction between areas to construct a home featuring a lived-in sense of charm for everyday life.

Upon opening the door, the unobstructed layout welcomes abundant natural light. The half-height low wall and dark-colored flooring designate the entryway, where dirt, and dust enters. The black marble creates a magnificent tension for the main wall. A spectacular burst of white veins injects a vibrant vibe, adding dramatic visual tension to the restrained tone. The marble expands downward into the surface of the TV cabinet and is interlocked with the wooden door. The combination of different materials eliminates the oppressiveness of a single volume.

A glass partition serves as the wall behind the sofa. A cat walkway and cat cave are installed at the window. The shelves inside the study room make a perfect cat walkway and a bookcase at the same time. A space for the owner and the feline friend comes to life. Inlaid with stone panels at the middle, the glass partition echoes the TV wall and harmonizes the fresh, airy texture of the space.

The corner of the wall next to the dining space is clad with beveled wood grains to avoid collision and serve as an invisible border of the space. Kitchen sliding door with semi-transparent black glass allows the light and shadow to flow in while maintaining modest privacy.

The bedroom is different from the public sphere filled in subdued atmosphere. Fresh warm white along with rustic wooden elements creates a peaceful and soothing ambience. The half-height wall behind the bed is established with gray and white stone pattern, while the white lacquered surface creates a serene view of a light airy and stress-free residence.
