This apartment is designed to be tactile, elegant, and enduring. To Reflect the owner’s unique aesthetic taste, a good amount of wood and marble are carefully chosen to bring out the warmth of well-crafted cabinetry and the endurance of materials.

The original layout, typical of many Chinese apartments, featured a small enclosed kitchen and a long hallway. Recognizing the owner’s desire for a more connected, open experience, kitchen walls were removed and transformed into an open layout. This new configuration encourages closer social moments—whether it’s cooking with family or hosting intimate gatherings, the space draws people together in a seamless flow of activity.

In the kitchen-dining area, the island, cook-top, and mini-bar are boldly framed in carrara marble, creating a striking backdrop for the owner’s accessory collection. This blend of materials and design ensures that every detail enhances the apartment’s elegance, fostering an atmosphere that feels both harmonious and enduring.
The color palette is serene and calming, with a classic, lasting quality. To enrich the space, custom artworks and accessories are introduced to add vibrant touches that bring energy to the composition. Warm wood veneer covers vertical surfaces throughout the living areas and hallway, leading seamlessly into the primary bedroom, subtly guiding the flow of daily life.
By incorporating dark tone and bold lines, the function of this home office is natuarally seperated from other rooms. The decorative handles in satin nickel add a sleek and shiny touch into this quiet room, elevating the overall texture and aesthetic appeal.
