RESEARCH ABSTRACT: If life is a movie, home is the scene of the story. The designer takes the resident as the main character and the space as the supporting role as the main direction of the script, with the dark color that the newlywed husband loves as the main tone, supplemented by the earth color of the wife favorite, thus injecting a warm flow into the cold tonality. The color and material of the entire space coexist with both rigidity and softness. The designer gives the space a new definition by rearranging the existing layout of the original house and blends it with the life visions of the young couple.
CHALLENGE: In order to overcome the limitations of the modular cabinets in its workmanship and surface material selection, the designer combines both modular furniture with carpentry woodwork, by using modular cabinets as the base of the furniture, and carpentry in the external. This allows the use of metallic texture High Definition Printing wooden board as the surface to add maintainability besides adding exquisite appearance to the furniture. The combination of workmanship has imposed complexity to the process that could not have been accomplished without ample professional skill.
