Vanguard Black Edition: Redefining Interior Design

A Unique and Innovative Approach to Space

As we develop, our complexity tends to defer; formal yet vanguard. The physical response in this house was to re-engage the pressure space into a dramatic conversation. "Black" was introduced to disconnect the visual of confined space towards a reorganize diversion.

The Vanguard Black Edition, designed by Don Lin, is a groundbreaking interior design project that challenges traditional notions of space and functionality. Situated in Singapore, this project began in April 2016 and was completed in June 2016.

The design inspiration for the Vanguard Black Edition stems from the desire to create a unique and captivating experience for its inhabitants. By carefully embedding pockets of functional areas throughout the space, the design team has created a truly innovative living environment. One such example is a black box that serves as a dining area, display space, storage solution, and exhibition platform. This multi-functional element not only maximizes the use of space but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design.

Another standout feature of the Vanguard Black Edition is the double volume space that converts into a coherent and harmonious area. This dynamic transformation allows for a seamless flow of movement and communication, creating an enjoyable and engaging experience for the occupants. The minimalist aesthetic, combined with the fluid circulation, draws inspiration from lounge illustrations, further enhancing the overall ambiance of the space.

One of the main challenges faced during the design process was to strike a balance between the monochrome artistry and the social aspects of the house. The use of black as a dominant color was carefully chosen to amplify the melody of the space, guiding guests to appreciate the unifying concept. The stroke of black character illuminates the design, conveying a fashionable message and adding a touch of exclusivity to the overall experience.

The Vanguard Black Edition has been recognized for its exceptional design and creativity, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate outstanding ingenuity and authenticity. The Vanguard Black Edition stands out for its incorporation of best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making the world a better place.

With its unique and innovative approach to interior design, the Vanguard Black Edition sets a new standard for contemporary living spaces. Don Lin's vision and creativity have resulted in a design that not only challenges conventional norms but also provides a truly exceptional and captivating experience for its inhabitants.
