Design Details

Unique Properties
The piano keys echo with the interior design, different aesthetics go beyond boundaries, hence merging into one. Gentle colors of earth tone carry the weight, whereas the purity of white brights up the space, going beyond. The abundance of Nile blue, distinctively partitions the space, yet sets up the characteristic. The simplicity of colors brings out the beauty of boldness yet not turning into aggressiveness.
Inspiration
The design of this case builds up a place to stretch one's mind, to linger over thoughts. Blocks of colors and materials draw lines between areas. In addition, the lighting, texture, shapes, and lines allow the space to extend and accommodate.
Research
A space with such a calmness and tidiness can also offer the essence of joy in life; Allowing the purity of colors and materials to draw lines, to bring about the features of the space, to build up the function and atmosphere of each area.

Realization and Technology
Pushing aside the door, all of sudden, the clarity and richness of the nile blue draw a line on the private space.

The softness of lining and warm colors tone down the atmosphere, releasing the fatigue.
Operation and Interaction
Silvery and golden beams of light glisten on the neat tiles and soft wooden floor. As the show goes on with musical notes jumping around the space, the black and the white intertwist, coexist. The piano keys echo with the interior design, different aesthetics go beyond boundaries, hence merging into one. Gentle colors of earth tone carry the weight, whereas the purity of white brights up space, going beyond. Nile blue's abundance distinctively partitions the space, yet sets up the characteristic.
