Rectangular Box: A Unique Interior Design Concept by Martin Chow

Bringing the World to Your Home

The Rectangular Box project, designed by Martin Chow, is a demonstration unit for a property located near the airport. With a target audience of young couples, Chow proposed a unique theme centered around the concept of air attendants and their love for travel. The interior of the apartment is adorned with photographs, accessories, and collections from around the world, showcasing the couple's adventurous spirit and love for exploration.

What sets the Rectangular Box design apart is its open plan layout, perfect for young couples who have just tied the knot. The color scheme is youthful and vibrant, complementing the overall design theme. Additionally, the 5-meter high ceiling allowed Chow to create a mezzanine floor, providing space for a bedroom and study area.

Utilizing materials such as wallpaper, timber flooring, fabric panels, and tiles, the design combines functionality with aesthetics. The 4-meter width, 9-meter length, and 5-meter height of the space were carefully considered to maximize the use of the apartment.

Chow's collaboration with the marketing team of the client was crucial in understanding the local market and the type of customers in Chongqing, China. Through extensive research and brainstorming, the theme of a young couple with an occupation as air attendants emerged as the perfect fit for the property's location and target customers.

One of the main challenges faced by Chow was the limited space provided by the client, with a box size of 9 meters in depth, 4 meters in width, and 5 meters in height. To optimize the apartment's layout, a T-shaped staircase was proposed, creating a perfect void location and allowing for two rooms to be located at the end of each staircase.

The Rectangular Box design has received recognition for its creativity and ingenuity. In 2018, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate outstanding technical and creative skills while contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique concept and attention to detail, Martin Chow's Rectangular Box design brings the world to your home, allowing you to embark on a journey of exploration and adventure without leaving the comfort of your own space.
