Anchored by a minimalist pure white palette, the design aims to capture the elegance and effortless style of a modern woman. The integration of classic French vintage elements infuses the space with a unique blend of contemporary and traditional aesthetics. The pure white backdrop not only highlights the clean, sharp lines but also elevates the overall chic and stylish ambiance. In the public area, a nearly four-meter-long kitchen island is planned, with an open design that seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen. This not only enhances the visual spaciousness but also creates an ideal setting for entertaining guests and hosting coffee sharing sessions. The island is further elevated with a Quasar pendant light, featuring geometric minimalism with its combination of light panels and metal strips. In the intermediary relaxation area, the sliding door is a standout feature, hand-painted by an artist in a white, distressed gradient style, and framed with decorative moldings. Vintage-style hardware adds a touch of historical charm, creating a French retro atmosphere. The use of soft sheer curtains provides optimum ventilation and adds a romantic ambiance, effectively reducing the need for air conditioning, complemented by a red TOGO sofa, reflecting the bold personality of the homeowner. This area is also designed to function as a private resting space for guests needing a little respite. Incorporates natural lighting to brighten the space and reduce reliance on artificial light sources while using eco-friendly materials, such as non-toxic Italian specialty paints. The flooring is designed to be flat and level, eliminating height differences to create a friendly and accessible living environment. In the relaxation area, the spacious layout allows for easy movement and access for wheelchair users, accommodating the needs of all age groups. This design approach ensures that the living space is comfortable and convenient for everyone, from children to the elderly.
