About Natural Flavor Residence
Natural Flavor is a residential interior design for a 158 square meter apartment. The home includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, light bar, open study room, three bedrooms and two washrooms. Natural materials such as engineered flooring, wood blocks, retro bricks and marble create a loft style close to nature. A wall was removed to open the public area, so sunlight enters from three directions. A 45 degree beveled design turns a wasted corner into storage. All doors reach ceiling height to widen and extend the view.

The designer had to reintegrate all of the pipelines on the naked ceiling excluding fire hose but maintain the maximized height of public area and take the fixed location of the air conditioner of the building into concern at the same time. Thus, pipeline arrangement was the most complicated task.

All of the doors had been changed into the same height with ceiling and cabinet, so that the vision can be widen and extend.
- Research
- This project is beside the park; therefore, it has beautiful views and sunlight that comes in by three directions. However, the improper structure of previous design caused only little sunlight can be brought into the house. Designer reformed the structure by removing the wall of an extra room, turning it into an open study room. The client is the loft style lover, so the designer then lead in the loft style, opened the public area, and applied pipelines on ceiling and woods with natural texture.
