A Small House: Prelude

Design and Life

The floor plan of a home depends on the lifestyle of the owner. By doing away with old ways of defining public and private areas with folding doors in walls and partitions, the use of space itself to connect each area is maximized. With lighting, the eyes fall on the material and form of the cabinets, which have different depths to lessen the bulk and make the cabinets appear less oppressive. Different textures and materials are used to create a harmonious and visually appealing space.

Windows, an architectural feature, allow us to create a visual vanishing point and allow us to see faraway views, as well as allowing light to enter the room freely. Through windows, we can experience a dialogue between nature and indoor spaces. The art corner is where the owner's existing brand chair is placed in the space. Using a pure white stone material to highlight the classic features of the furniture, the art corner was created to inject life into the space.

A Small House: Prelude is a design that stands out from others due to its innovative approach to space utilization and its seamless integration of nature and indoor spaces. The floor plan, with its open layout, promotes a sense of connectivity and fluidity, while the strategic use of lighting and materials enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. The windows not only provide breathtaking views but also create a sense of harmony between the interior and the surrounding environment. The art corner adds a personal touch to the design, showcasing the owner's taste and injecting life into the space.
