Drawing Inspiration from Daily Lifestyle: A Multifunctional Residence in SeawardSunshine, Shantou, China

Creating a Clean and Interactive Living Space

The designers transformed the original layout of the 240 square meter residence, which consisted of two halls and five rooms, into a spatial pattern consisting of four halls and four rooms. The goal was to maximize functionality and create a more relaxed atmosphere for communication.

One of the unique features of this design is the separation of different living areas to provide a sense of privacy and individuality. The parlor, for example, presents a freely arranged space where modern sofas, a traditional cabinet, and old Indonesian teak stools create a vivid and fun ambiance.

The kitchen space is designed to embrace the guest bedroom, bathroom, and balcony, forming an independent living quarter. This arrangement allows for easy interaction between the kitchen and other areas, making it a central hub for family activities.

The materials used in the realization of this design include terrazzo, walnut, ultrathin rock panel, black steel panel, grey glass, and handmade sandstone paint. These materials not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the space but also ensure durability and functionality.

One of the challenges faced by the designers was maximizing the functionality of the master bedroom. In addition to satisfying basic demands, the room needed to incorporate functions such as a walk-in closet, living room, and audio/video room. The solution was to connect the master bedroom with the family hall, with a door in between to integrate and separate the two areas. This design showcases flexibility, openness, and privacy.

The project started in March 2019 and was completed in January 2020. The address of this stunning residence is No. 58, Hanjiang Road, Shantou, Guangdong.

This design has been recognized for its excellence and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2020. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
