This residential space planning project is centered around creating an inviting home for a couple whose children and grandchildren frequently visit. With a desire for bright, airy spaces and versatile living areas, they envisioned a setting that accommodates family gatherings while fostering warmth and comfort. To remedy the challenges posed by the previous layout—characterized by dimly lit spaces and outdated plumbing—the design team embarked on a comprehensive renovation. They thoughtfully reconfigured the plumbing system to ensure efficiency and reliability throughout the home. Following this, an open-plan design was introduced, artfully expanding the interior and allowing natural light to flood the space. This innovative approach not only enhances the home’s functionality but also cultivates a harmonious atmosphere. The result is a beautifully transformed residence, perfect for family-life enjoyment and connection.
Upon entering the shared living area, visitors will be immediately struck by the thoughtfully designed space, where the team has skillfully employed extendable visual materials and a concealed layout to create a sense of openness amidst the numerous beams and columns that characterize the architecture. The living room showcases elegant mirror accents that reflect light, while the dining room is enhanced by a stunning curved ceiling adorned with skyline lighting, casting a warm and inviting glow.
An innovative feature of the design is the outward extension of the bathroom, which seamlessly integrates with a column and storage cabinet, elegantly finished with veneer to maintain a cohesive aesthetic. In a bold move to foster connectivity, the team removed the solid wall that previously divided the kitchen and dining area, replacing it with a striking long, curved glass sliding door. When opened, this door transforms the space, allowing the island and dining table to comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests.
