Revolutionizing Residential Spaces: The Mature Man's Private Space

Mick Space Interior Design Co. Ltd. Transforms Traditional Living Spaces into a Modern Man's Sanctuary

The project, inspired by the historical Age of Discovery, transformed double open balconies into a space for small gatherings, while the indoor space serves as a living area for a mature man's work and entertainment. The building itself is of symmetric long and narrow space, hence an axial symmetric arrangement is adopted. The right half of the axis is the public area, while the left half is the private space. A landscape-style corridor serves as the intermediary zone to maintain spatial privacy.

One of the unique features of this design is the use of grey colored natural stone as the frame in the foyer, with a painting of unique texture as the decoration to highlight the cultural sentiment and sophistication. An open-style area is applied to plan the living room, dining room, and the work area. A wine cellar device, rarely seen in common residences, is set up as the highlight in the public space. The design image was inspired by the view window and the cabin skeleton of ships from the historical Age of Discovery.

The 340 square meter space is about selecting light and transparent materials. Large French windows introduce abundant light and colors to the interior space. When light sprinkles down onto the specially treated coating, texture with darkness and brightness, as well as the lightness and transparency of the materials endow the space with sophistication and layer.

The living room is arranged with an arc sofa to provide quality space for communication, while the grey color tone is applied to structure the peaceful spatial atmosphere. The ceiling adopted ship skeleton supporting method to construct a space with radian and girder to resemble the waves of the ocean. A small workspace at the back is set up with a display and storage shelf, exhibiting the big boy’s toys and collections via illuminated boards without lights and shadows. This display shelf also separates the dining space behind it.

In pursuance of maximum storage volume, display-type red wines are placed separately on the view window side closer to the aisle, while the rest are being collected on the wood columns horizontal to the ground. The circular wine-viewing window structured using metals, rivets, and heat-insulating glass creates the scenario of the desire to see the world through the small window during the Age of Discovery.

This project by Mick Space Interior Design Co. Ltd. is a perfect example of how design can transform a space, not just aesthetically, but also functionally. It's a testament to the company's innovative approach to design, and a reminder of the power of design to shape our daily lives.
