DESIGN NAME: The Palace
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Show Flat
INSPIRATION: The exterior facade was designed with the variant of Chinese character meaning happiness in combination with the color and shape of Chinese knot. The delicacy and symmetrical structure of Chinese knot represent the traditional customs and aesthetics, and convey auspicious connotation and good wishes. The interior design therefore resonates with the exterior by referring to the character shape and Chinese knot and applying them to the borders on the floor, archways and decorative details.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As a upscale residential community right at the center of CBD, Beijing, this project enjoys geographical advantage and easily accesses to top-level facilities. It represents as one of the masterpiece of upscale apartment in CBD for the leadership class.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Personalized design is everywhere in the space. The master bedroom is equipped with private bar counter at the entrance so that the enjoyment in the room becomes not only luxurious, but private and romantic. The main bathroom and bedrooms have electrochromic glass to give a touch of high tech. When unconnected, the matte surface can serve as a partition. When connected with power, the glass becomes transparent, giving playfulness to the space.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is positioned as a upscale mansion, located in CBD, close to the CCTV tower, and exorbitant in pricing. Being exposed in such a diversified and internationalized environment, its target customers are mainly media professionals, celebrities and business executives. In order to avoid exaggeration, we refined the fashionable, open and modern style of the show flat with addition of some Chinese elements to balance the design. Leather, mirror and metal express modern fashion while crimson wood and jade represent inheritance of tradition.
CHALLENGE: The folding doors in the kitchen help to separate it from other spaces. When they are folded, the kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway are all connected, forming a spacious place for party. The kitchen is also linked with the area for servants by an elevator, the independent channel for them to make maintenance and serving more convenient while not disturbing the areas where the house owner occupies.
