Design Philosophy & Goals
The designers sought to infuse a luxurious yet culturally conscious aura into the show flat. While embracing the western trends of modern luxury, the project integrates cultural themes to create depth and character within the space. The project emphasizes a poetic expression through spatial design, fostering an atmosphere of tranquility and contemplation. The overall space is structured to evoke an impression of openness and a sense of flow, with a grand perspective that enhances the visual experience. This expansive sense of space promotes a feeling of freedom, inclusivity, and harmony with nature, offering a retreat for contemplation and relaxation. The aim was to create a cultural oasis where art and the spirit of eastern aesthetic intersect.

Functional Layout & Spatial Planning
From the moment you enter the space, the new luxurious style, inspired by the eastern aesthetic, immediately makes an impression. Light and shadows interplay, creating a lively yet harmonious atmosphere. The open floor plan prioritizes comfort and maximizes natural light. The dining and kitchen area boasts an open-plan design that extends the perceived space, fostering an air of free-flowing comfort. The use of marble and leather details in the dining space adds an element of quiet refinement to the area. The space is carefully arranged to create a seamless transition between social and private zones. The design team also places a strong emphasis on creating a space where comfort and natural light abound, creating a sanctuary for residents.

Exterior Design & Aesthetics
The space seamlessly integrates warm, rustic elements with sleek, contemporary design features. The use of vintage-inspired, warm-toned leather details, combined with elegant artwork and decorative objects, defines the show flat’s aesthetic. This subtle integration of textures and materials gives the interiors a relaxing atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is a balance of minimalist elegance and warmth, prioritizing functionality and creating a space that feels both refined and inviting. The selection of materials and the color palettes were chosen to amplify the feeling of warmth and light. This emphasis on warmth and texture allows the space to remain serene and calming.

Master Bedroom Design
The master bedroom design perfectly embodies the project’s overarching theme of eastern aesthetics and contemporary elegance. The design team has balanced the two seemingly disparate design worlds, creating a tranquil and sophisticated haven. The combination of black elements with marble creates a sense of refinement and luxury. Meanwhile, the inclusion of orange accents on the headboard offers a visual focal point and adds a touch of warmth. Subtle details, such as the use of delicate porcelain and abstract artwork, add a touch of tranquility and evoke a sense of peace. The overall design is sophisticated and timeless, creating a space conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation.
