CINCHstudio Spacial Design: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2024. The sunset over Sai Van Lake conjures a picturesque scene, its glow casting a soft reflection across the gently rippling water. Inspired by the ever-changing lake, the design embraces varied layers and angles to capture its dynamic chromatic flow and undulating waves, evoking the ethereal beauty of the landscape. This motif integrates both interior and exterior, expressed through different design languages that unify these realms. Materials and colors are thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive experience, subtly blending inside and outside while immersing residents in the tranquility of the lake.

Reflections of the water are echoed throughout the interior, where contrasting textures and depths of color evoke the lake’s ever-changing beauty. White lines trace the rhythmic dance of light reflected in the ripples, mirroring the fluid motion of waves. The transition from outdoor to indoor public spaces becomes an effortless extension of the lake’s serene atmosphere, inviting a sense of calm. Sleek steel bars introduce a dynamic yet ethereal visual interpretation of the shimmering, rippling water.

Wood finishes imbue the interior with warmth, while the patterned wood flooring evokes the mutable lake landscape. The nuanced depth of color contrasts within the space defines distinct functions, visually increasing the scale of space. A striking staircase, with its bold contrast of black and champagne-colored steel, becomes a visual focal point. Its rhythmic interplay of colors leads the eye upward, seamlessly connecting the levels in a harmonious flow. The cabinets, crafted from metal shelving, are subtly accentuated by lighting, creating a rhythmic harmony in the space. The gray glass cabinet doors add a refined, understated elegance. The curated material palette, in soft, muted tones, eases the visual experience, brings the serenity of the lake into the interior, and encourages a slower pace of life.
