MKYdesign: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2024. In response to the client’s request, this interior design project is dedicated to deconstructing and reshaping the oppression caused by the high ceiling in the   living room. In particular, the removal of a huge false beam that was over-decorated restored the sense of expansiveness of the space. The project emphasizes maximizing natural light. The design team enlarged windows to ensure openness and brightness. In terms of details, to satisfy the client’s pursuit of  high-  quality life, the team installed an induction hub in the kitchen and placed a dressing table in  the master bedroom to  enhance practicality and aesthetics. Finally, a dedicated cabinet showcasing Kubrick Bears embellished the family’s cultural  ambiance.

Stone Aesthetics – The uniqueness of  this project lies in  the revitalization of  the high ceiling and  the use  of  subtle and  unique decoration techniques,  such as  hidden beams,  beams,  and  columns covered  by  the  TV  wall in  the  living room to  embellish the  space. The  marble  pattern is  matched  with the

corresponding wall behind the sofa, while the wall next to the staircase is covered with wavy panels to trim the beams and columns. The ceiling, floor,          and walls are covered with marbles of different colors and patterns. The team precisely aligned the veins so that a sense of fluidity and shimmer filled the room. Under the sunlight, the interior is filled with the endless beauty of    nature.Color Balance – There are a lot of stone patterns in the social and private areas. The designers arranged the color scheme meticulously. In the open social area, warm neutral colors make the spaciousness unobstructed and warm. In the  private  area, cool neutrals are  preferred for  meditation. Wooden  panels  and grilles in the details weaken the rigidity of  the   stone.

The designers used marble and solid wood veneer combined with bright natural lighting from large floor-to-ceiling windows to shape   a spacious and vibrant image. The client’s distinctive taste in marble   is fully realized. From the floor to the walls and every detail, the materials match the marble achieving consistency and   elegance.

“Explore the art of living and the harmony of nature in every contour of the stone pattern.” In the space decorated with stone, each piece of stone collage embellishment is just like nature’s exquisite painting showing the high quality of life. The designers skillfully took the natural texture of the stone to create a harmonious, stable, and cozy space, which makes people feel like they are in the quiet mountains. The high ceiling and large glass doors and windows bring in bright natural light, weakening the boundaries between the interior and exterior. The vastness of nature and the coziness of the home are blended in this home. The elegant stone pattern and large glass windows emphasize the wind, light, and human activities. There is a dynamic tension in the space. The light along the stone creates a free and spontaneous life for the residents. Every detail invites residents to discover and experience  the aesthetic charm and poetic image of  life in their daily   lives.

The site is a single-family house. The name “Stone Rhyme ” comes from the large amount of exquisite stone. Based on the client’s preference and desire for  stone, the design team applied a subtle and unique design to the ceiling, floor, and walls. By hiding the structure of  the beams and covering the spotlight with  the stone parquet, the team created an aesthetic that surrounds and flows. The wavy design under the staircase modifies the beams, further emphasizing the   depth of  the field. Under the natural light, the space seems to be filled with the flickering sense of  light and shadow, showing the endless beauty of  nature.         In the open social area, warm neutral colors make the spaciousness unobstructed and warm. In the private area, cool neutrals are preferred for meditation. Wooden panels and grilles in the details weaken the rigidity of the stone. In terms of details, to  satisfy the  client’s pursuit of  high-quality life,  the  team installed an induction hub in the kitchen and placed a dressing table in the master bedroom to enhance practicality and aesthetics. Finally, a dedicated cabinet showcasing Kubrick Bears embellished the family’s cultural  ambiance.

In terms of sustainability, the project is centered on valuing and recycling resources. The designers kept marble flooring to minimize the consumption of renovation resources as well as to showcase the classic aesthetics. In addition, the use of recycled materials demonstrates the designers’ commitment to environmental protection and the efficient use of  resources. To  maximize the site’s lighting and ventilation, the designers did not alter the original structure   too much to ensure the experience of the occupants and to show respect for the building and its surroundings. The ceiling-mounted air-conditioning system satisfies the comfort needs of modern living while balancing aesthetics and functionality. Careful attention to detail has enabled the project to realize an aesthetically pleasing, functional living space in harmony with  nature.
