Stylish Life: A Showhome Designed for Modern Living

A Seamless Blend of Functionality and Elegance

Inspired by the needs of a 3-generation family, Patrick Chen has created a stunning showhome that combines style, comfort, and practicality. This two-story residence in Shanghai, China, is designed to cater to the modern lifestyle of young families, offering a seamless spatial connection and a range of user-friendly facilities.

The ground floor of the showhome serves as a shared area for family life, featuring an open layout that connects the living room, dining room, and study. The large French windows allow natural light to flood in, creating a sense of openness and breaking down the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

One of the unique aspects of this design is its focus on catering to the needs of different generations. The first floor includes a dedicated space for the elderly, prioritizing safety and convenience. The room is designed with stability and order in mind, featuring a calming gray color scheme and the warmth of wood textures.

On the upper floor, the master room and children's room provide private spaces for the parents and their children. The master room boasts a bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom, with large French windows offering a picturesque view of the lake. The use of deep gray and light gray fabrics, along with metal dividers, creates a sense of gradation and order in the space.

Throughout the showhome, the walls are adorned with a modest yet stylish gray color scheme, complemented by cleverly concealed wall cabinets that maintain the overall aesthetic while providing practical storage solutions. The marble covering, TV wall, and crystal chandelier add a touch of elegance and distinction to the residence.

Despite the limitation in space, the design team has ingeniously incorporated cabinets in the bathroom, ensuring ample room for bath and beauty products. Every aspect of the space has been carefully considered, resulting in a residence that exudes simplicity, beauty, and depth.

The showhome, spanning 270 square meters, is located in a community of multi-story villas that has become a popular choice for the new middle class in Shanghai. Its user-friendly facilities, pleasant weather, and expansive space make it an ideal place for young families to settle down and enjoy a high-quality lifestyle.

This exceptional design has been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2020. The award acknowledges the outstanding creativity and ingenuity of the showhome, which seamlessly blends art, science, design, and technology to enhance the quality of life for its residents.
