As the long-told eastern saying goes, “For there is Buddha in thought, there is Buddha in sight.” What one sees in things comes from how one thinks of things. Therefore, the designer has metaphorically embodied the ideas of Buddhism in the residential space to demonstrate the client’s lifestyle and taste. Besides, since the client is a devout Buddhist who is aware that the Buddha Dharma is practiced and manifested in daily life, the designer has planned the color scheme of the living sharp and simple, which discloses its underlying meaning and avoids an overinterpretation of Zen.
Cleverly, the designer has made a contrast in color scheme planning by selecting a lighter tone for the shared living space to show its leisure and openness while choosing a darker tone for the personal living space to offer comfort and coziness.
Behind the dark brown wooden door, the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling window; as if the space were demonstrating the pilgrimage of religion and truth. It depicts the story of how a person opens one’s heart, breaks free, and enjoys a bright future.
