Design Challenge

The private space uses earth colors to construct dignified tranquility, while the dressing room and storage functions are concealed behind the cabinet in the master bedroom, presenting a modern simple quality differing to the style vocabulary of the public area.

Planned on the other side is the living space for the family, which is decorated with artworks based on the theme of cozy culture, and ingeniously planned the most non-ideal part of the indoor space into the workshop.
