Chan's Residence

Residential Apartment

The client is a family of 4, comprising the couple and their 2 children, aged 4 and 2 years respectively. The warm and welcoming ambience of the apartment is created via the use of natural material such as Italian travertine marble and raw oak. These, coupled with a careful selection of eclectic Scandinavian furnishing create the overall effect of a luxurious, yet comfortable family home. To further emphasize the designated children area, rock climbing walls, rope ladders, and a chalkboard table are added as features.

The client’s brief was an apartment that could work well as an open family home yet allow the couple to entertain and gather large groups of family and friends without disturbing their young children. This has been achieved via the use of multiple sliding doors and partition walls which clearly delineate the “public” living/dining areas and the family’s private living quarters. The sliding doors which completely open up the living area to the large balcony, replete with a working fireplace, further break down traditional ideas of what is inside and what is outside space.
