Keep face to the sun
The project is more than a simple residential space but was also planned to serve as a banquet and event function space, so the designer wanted to use visual tension to impress guests rather than a timeless style. In response to the owner's request for functional needs, the designer deliberately enlarged the scale of the public domain. The entrance is bounded by a glass screen with light track lines, and the reflection effect brought by the light hints at directing the circulation. Hand-blown glass artwork on the side is illuminated by the marble back wall and lighting, suggesting the upcoming lively scene.
The living room is the core of the public space, and the marble wall with embedded light fixture is the feature of the space. An adjustable sofa offers maximum flexibility to meet the various evening activities. An open bar is located at the back of the living room. It can be used as a food prepping space in conjunction with events, and function as a performance stage.
"Live yourself as a light, because you don't know, who by thy light, out of the darkness." with this concept so that the users of the house can find the love and passion in life through this design.
