City Corner
Residence for Unique Interior Design & Décor Co., Ltd.
The project takes the Vintage Industrial Style as the design concept. The design team overcame the challenges, insufficient natural lighting and poor circulation in the interior space via reconfiguring layout, using transparent materials, turning direction of the kitchen, and enlarging windows. Also, they create a coherent feeling of integrated space through the exquisite combination between materials and colors. Moreover, the team changed the position of the bed which leads to more space in the bedroom so that they built a sunny reading concern in the bedroom compared to the original layout.

Inasmuch how to provide the client with enough storage space without giving too much abruptness to the space, was the top consideration of the design team since the beginning of the design process. In the space, hidden doors, hollow cabinets, movable cabinets, and hanging iron shelves are used to bring more convenience and flexibility to the space.

Inspiration

The design team implemented a smooth and coherent design approach, such as turning the space direction, enlarging the window openings, setting up hollow cabinets as storage space, and appropriately separates each area according to its function. The design also focuses on color matching combinations, so that a quiet and leisurely tone of the space is reflected in the calm and simple color palette.
