Underlying Elegance

The entire residence features a mixed modern style. To meet the needs of children with a lot of activity, the lower level is laid out as a complete common area, including an open-concept living room, dining room and a Japanese room. Sections of different functions get connected with each other, and natural light can go deep indoors unobstructed. The privacy of the bedrooms is configured on the upper level.

Faux stone veins are applied to the walls in the common area, with the marble-vein TV wall starting from the entryway to the Japanese room in the back, which, combined with TV cabinetry and elevated flooring in the Japanese room, makes for indoor coherence and entirety. The elevated height of the Japanese room comes from the original structure and is retained for sustainability. Metal shelving is attached to one side for storage, and the wall of the Japanese room is adorned with a world map and magnet paint, so that it can be a starting point for children growing up to be visually connected with the world and get to know it. What is extraordinary is that the dining room is placed right next to the window and is separate from the kitchen. In this way, the family can enjoy the most pleasant natural light when dining, and this also serves to connect the indoor and the outdoor, taking it as a priority to configure different sections based on their respective functions.

With adherence to environmental sustainability, green materials are applied, and a large number of existing items are retained to be reused ingeniously. Ventilation system is installed for air conditioning. Thus this user-friendly space and its functionality are thoughtfully mapped out. A meticulously-made residence that encompasses both practicality and humanistic spirit endows this home with aesthetic appeal, turning it into a thoughtful, human-based vessel of life full of story and character.
