Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Three elements brass, wood and black flow throughout the entire apartment. Unnecessary partition walls were replaced with furniture and screens, so as to enlarge the living room space, while also differentiating between its various functions. In a departure from tradition, the Buddha hall is both minimalist and monolithic. The aura like glow of the Buddha provides a sense of warmth, gently drawing people into the space. Surrounded by natural elements, from both within and outside, the occupant might feel as though they are bearing witness to the buddha achieving enlightenment under the Bodhi tree all those years ago.
- Inspiration
- Paying homage to the Buddha perfect enlightenment, calmness, simplicity, and openness have been the guiding lights for this project. It explores the interdependence between the spiritual and material, inside and outside, nature and what we call home. The earthy colour palette not only brings a timeless character to the space, but also blurs the lines between the home and natural environment. Most importantly, these colours and materials reveal the elegance that lies in simplicity.
