This project is expertly designed for a homeowner couple, merging the functions of a residence and an art gallery to redefine modern living. The layout strategically separates public and private spaces, with the basement serving as an open, minimalist area ideal for social gatherings while also showcasing the homeowner's art collection. This creates a unique atmosphere reminiscent of an art gallery, ensuring a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment for both entertaining guests and enjoying personal artwork. The first floor is reserved for private living, creating a harmonious balance between communal and intimate spaces.
In consideration of the host's passion for art, the decision was made to leave the basement floor blank, providing a canvas for future art collections. Track lighting was installed to enhance the gallery-like ambiance. Given that the public area is situated in the basement without external windows, a patio design was incorporated to introduce natural light and brighten the otherwise dark space. Furthermore, to accommodate the owner's emerging lifestyle of remote work, an office area has been established in the private section on the first floor. This thoughtful design harmonizes functionality with aesthetics.
This project expertly integrates the homeowner's artistic vision with practical functionality. It utilizes a harmonious blend of white space, dark furniture, and linear elements, paired with curved shapes. The patio design incorporates track lighting and long rainbow glass, reflecting the homeowner's preferred styles and fostering a warm, artistic atmosphere. Additionally, the patio brings natural light into the basement, creating an inviting and bright space. Thoughtful landscaping further enhances the area, promoting a natural ambiance and reducing any sense of pressure, ultimately achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing environment.
