DESIGN NAME: Tailored Narrative

INSPIRATION: The client from this project is a fashion editor who adores the fashion brand Thom Browne. Therefore, the inspiration and design strategies towards this project were derived from the well-known feature of this brand, a tailored brand that emphasizes on sleek, proportion and the color composition of gray and carbon black. The space aims to create a simple form yet contains subtle details with monochrome color scheme.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project was tailored by introducing sophisticated forms and monochrome scheme. In architectural aspect, the axial diagram in this space was set by three features. The designer adopted very limited walls to set boundaries between public and private space, while using existing beams to set blur boundaries between living, dinning and kitchen area. The tailored carbon black bookcase also serve as zone divider while it also reflects the pleating and stripes inspiration from Thom Browne, all to embodied the subtle handle of details and proportions the space was asked for. These strategies and monochrome color scheme allow defining each zone without losing the cohesive in the space.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project was aim to create openness with blur boundaries between private and public, zone to zones. Minimalizing walls and placing fixed installation along the wall, keep flexibilities in the center in order to create a cohesive and well-circulated flow in the space.

The orientation and scale of each zone were determined by studying and analyzing the client’s life habit in order to meet client’s need so anywhere in the house was utilized at its most. The space ought to represent a client’s life style and aesthetic view with designer’s well calculated planning, so not only focus on the planning side, designer also emphasized on how this house reflects client’s interest by introducing some well-known feature like pleating form client’s favorite fashion designer onto the woodwork detailing as well as applied the monochrome color scheme into the space. The space was sculptured with a sleek form and sophisticated tone.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to maximizing the small house with more possibilities. How the space or zones were defined without setting up a clear or solid boundaries is the key design objective towards this project.
