Deep brown wood and black iron elements define the dining area, while neutral gray and white tones calm the living room.

- Production Technology
- The focus of living space is mental tranquility. Upon entering, deep brown wood in the kitchen and dining area, paired with calming black iron elements, soothes the mind. Moving further in, colors shift the atmosphere from tension to softness. Neutral gray-white tones in the living room harmonize the mind with the surroundings, enhancing flow. Sustainable materials like natural wood veneer, thin tiles, and wood flooring are visually appealing and green, blending the natural with the artificial.
- Design Challenge
- To ensure the structural integrity of the wine display cabinet and integrate the specialty lighting, the design team held extensive discussions. The solution involved using three slender round iron pipes as vertical structural supports, with shelves composed of bonded wood on top and iron plates beneath, achieving a sleek thickness of just 1.5 cm. Precise grooves were carved into the wood to embed the ultra-thin lighting fixtures, maintaining a minimalist appearance.
