Residence
Flow Reef

Residence for ACG Design International

The project is divided into two, defining the social and private areas. The flooring is changed from marble to solid wood, implicitly defining the boundary between the living room and the dining room. The colors in the living room are gradually brightened, bringing the city views and bright sunlight into the interior, while the curved ceiling and indirect lighting strips form a smooth and soft atmosphere. The soft curves of the waves are shown on the curved line of the wall.

Unique Properties

The project divides the space into two according to the social and private areas, clearly defining the attributes and functions. In the social area, the foyer facade cabinetry and countertop design separate the dining room and kitchen. They meet the needs of storage and define the circulation plan of the three areas. The dining room combines a long dining table on the kitchen island, artistic chandeliers, solid wood veneer covering the walls and ceiling, and finally a light gray mineral paint covering the wall as a highlight.

Production Technology

Building materials: Italian mineral paint, iron, wood flooring, gray mirror, stone, wood veneer, system cabinet, stone veneer, sheet, tile, fabric, laminated glass, moru glass, etc. The color scheme uses low-saturation mineral paint, marble, natural solid wood veneer, stained glass, eco-friendly panels, iron baking paint, and titanium plating to stack up the tone and define the function while echoing the concepts of nature, sustainability, and environmental protection.

Design Challenge

The combination of abstract living imagery and natural laws has always been the pursuit of the design team. The two issues precisely explore the three concepts of color, function, and aesthetics. By observing the attitude of life, they present it concretely in the space. The green reef imagery is a natural scene formed through the accumulation of time and space, which happens to have the same style as home.

Project Duration

The project finished in June 2023 in Rimini.

Operation Flow

The interior design provides significant convenience for both entertaining and everyday use. The kitchen island serves as a border between the foyer, dining room, and kitchen without blocking the view. When visitors come to the apartment, they can enjoy a good view of the high floor from all corners of the social area. The master bedroom bathroom is partitioned with moru glass and covered with imported tile and marble in grayscale. The bathroom has a bathtub as well as a shower area, allowing clients to enjoy the bright natural light and views while soaking in the bath.

Research

The project 'Flow Reef' is inspired by the rocky shore landscape and green reef. The green reef is a stunning natural scene of green moss attached to a naturally formed gully. In the specific form, the design team extracted the curves of the waves and displayed them at the turn of the open plan. In addition, they use low-saturation mineral paint to show a calm tone and use wood and stone grain to present a natural and comfortable visual experience. In a modern and minimalist style, the design team restored the original look of the space and presented the living style in the project.

Inspiration

The design is inspired by the natural scenery of green coral along the coast, which turns from gray to green due to time and space. The design team integrated it into the interior, using low-saturation dark materials to symbolize the rocks, vegetation, fallen leaves, and gravel along the shoreline, shaping a planar order and human scale like the structure of green coral as the foundation. Then, they defined the flow of seawater as a circulation of light and shadow and people, creating a stable yet harmonious dwelling with clear contrast.
