White Purity

Inspired by the Sci-Fi movie Passengers starred by Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, the family of a residential apartment approached me to create a bold concept of their home where they can live in the future. The initial gleams of their concept were a monochromatic color palette of nature-inspired organic spaces with amazing visual presence, to be fitted with futuristic furniture that comes with sophisticated fittings with refined elegance.

Breaking away from the norms of mainstream residential interiors in Singapore, I proposed a concept that integrate the elements of both sense and sensibility, forms and functions with the fluidity and organic forms. I explored into streamlined shapes of the walls while making sure it is in line with the functional application of inclinations and bends. The introduction of the flowing lines of the walls, the white decorative elements and selection of the furniture offers the impression of a futuristic living for the users. In the midst of the organic exploration, a dining table 'Yuri Table' was created in the form of a white lily flower. Visual curve features are dominantly noticeable to break the shape of the bedroom door with curved corners between the living area, bedrooms and kitchen area.

With the emphasis of ‘no wood’ criteria by the owner, the materials mainly used solid surfacing, metal & epoxy material which can make the space reflective and appear larger. The difficulty lies in blending of different materials to maintain the constant tonality with shades of grey added to provide the contrast needed. The hue lights meandered across the ceiling and with the applications of recessed light belts on the base of the wall, it can illuminate to guide the user to the bedroom, with the space nicely merged into the whole aspect of smart home technology.

Simple in form, yet bold in personality. All these aspects were translated into an integral design where space, interior, furniture, media and interaction and technology merge.
