The Impact of White: A Minimalist Masterpiece

Tan Si Yuan's Award-Winning Residential Design

In the realm of interior design, the minimalist aesthetic has always been about the details, the relationship between spaces, and the three-dimensional quality of space. Tan Si Yuan, a renowned designer, has brilliantly embodied these principles in his latest project, "The Impact of White". This residential landed house is a testament to the power of simplicity, cleanliness, and the effective use of space.

The unique properties of this design lie in its use of color and material. A dominant white palette delivers a sense of purity and mental clarity, while wooden elements and timeless black accents add a touch of warmth and sophistication. The result is an interior that is not only visually stunning but also promotes a refreshing and harmonious atmosphere.

The realization of this design involved a meticulous attention to detail and a keen understanding of spatial relationships. Continuous lines on the ceiling create a sense of openness and seamlessness from the living area to the dining area. The use of white marble, extending from the floor to the kitchen tabletop, enhances the peacefulness of the home and brings the living spaces to enviable levels.

The master bedroom presents a contrasting feel, with dark-toned timber finishes and light grey texture paint for the feature wall. The walk-in wardrobe is designed to be open, creating a special area within the room. The designer has fully optimized every inch of available space in this house, with the "house shape" cabinet serving as a private space and harmonic expression for the family members.

This double-storey landed house, located in a high-end neighborhood in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has a total built-up area of 225 square meters, with 4 rooms and 4 bathrooms. The project started in January 2018 and was completed in December of the same year. Despite the challenges of ensuring that the design outcome matched the homeowner's lifestyle and looked simple yet elegant, Tan Si Yuan's attention to detail ensured a successful result.

The Impact of White was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020. This prestigious accolade is a testament to Tan Si Yuan's outstanding expertise and innovation in interior design. His work showcases a remarkable level of excellence and introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
