Unique Properties

This project masterfully integrates elements of cultural art, natural stone, metal, and wood, employing a green construction approach emphasizing eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and sustainable materials. The result is a warm living space imbued with the essence of "humanity, art, and nature." The open-plan LDK (Living, Dining, Kitchen) layout, with its seamless flow and absence of partitions, not only enhances the comfort of the inhabitants but also fosters greater interaction within the space.

Production Technology

This project employs a range of eco-friendly and sustainable materials, including recycled cork and natural stone. The production process meticulously prioritizes environmental and sustainable attributes. For instance, all wooden flooring is FSC(Forest Stewardship Council) -certified, ensuring the sustainability and eco-friendliness of the wood source. The bathrooms feature GEBERIT's collector drain and the GEBERIT's floor drain Aquorea system, which optimize the efficiency of water utilization.

Design Challenge

The main challenge is how to perfectly integrate art and nature elements into a limited space while ensuring eco-friendliness and energy conservation. Thanks to innovative materials and energy-saving technologies, this challenge is tackled. For example, wood and stone materials add natural textures yet reduce environmental impact. Energy-saving technologies, such as the GEBERIT's collector drain and the GEBERIT's floor drain Aquorea system, improve water utilization for less energy consumption.

Project Duration

The project finished in June 2024 in Hong Kong.

Operation Flow

The open-plan LDK (Living, Dining, Kitchen) design facilitates seamless interaction between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, enhancing functionality and convenience. The natural textures and colors of wood and stone offer residents a close connection with nature. The incorporation of energy-saving technologies, such as GEBERIT's collector drain and the GEBERIT's floor drain Aquorea system, optimizes water efficiency and reduces evaporation, achieving significant energy conservation.

Research

This project thoroughly explores the integration of artistic works and natural materials within interior design. By meticulously selecting materials and decorations, the designer has adeptly fused culture with texture to create a harmoniously unified living space. The selection and arrangement of artwork not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space but also resonate emotionally with the residents, thereby enriching the cultural ambiance of the environment.

Inspiration

The project draws inspiration from the artistic works of Kermit Oliver's Le Canada and Pierre Marie's Monsieur Montres. These pieces, with their evocative use of imagery, color, line, and composition, convey the artists' emotions, thoughts, and experiences, thus inspiring the integration of artistic and natural elements within the design. The designer aims to evoke an emotional resonance with the residents through these artworks, thereby enriching the cultural ambiance of the space.
