‘I WANT TO BRING IN MY PARENTS’
FURNITURE. THE FURNITURE MUST
MATCH THE INTERIOR’
There was a lot of thought put into the parents’
common space. At the second meeting with the
residential owners’ parents, the first thing that
caught our eyes were the elegant and grandiose
furniture they owned. The fitting of this furniture in
an apartment didn’t quite go hand in hand. It felt as
if the furniture is trapped in a small area. The task
at hand was to let the beautiful furniture breathe
and flow freely in an open space. By adding bold
colors, and some finishing touches, the furniture
was able to be used to its potential.
First floor’s common space was given high ceilings
(6m), and dark color finishes were used for the
furniture background so that the beautiful designs
can be highlighted and notices. The shapes and
sizes of the ceiling and living room windows
coupled with the location of the long window of
the front lawn are within context.
The high and tall windows are meant for the
two homes to look upon each other with ease.
The windows in the kitchen and island kitchen
allow for the mother to see the 4 seasons change
as if it’s an art painting. A crystal chandelier
overlooks the dining table in the first floor to add
a classical touch and transition to the second floor.
The second floor has an office for the father to
overlook the lawn as well as guestrooms.
