RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Besides having nice views, the interior is decorated with neoclassical style based on white; the public hall area is expanded via the adjustment of the layout. The wide-openings introduce light and scenery. Classical carved decoration is simplified; Lines are stacked to present refreshing romance; Black marble TV wall and dark color furniture create spatial layers. Unique Balinese style rest area is added to the public area, plus the custom made, multifunctional exquisite master bedroom.
CHALLENGE: Due to the original bathroom is lack of window openings, it is not conducive to air circulation, and the space is also more hampered, thus it is shifted to the larger side of the window. However, this has led to pipeline resetting problem, the designer creates a sense of floating by embedding light at the bottom and the platform for the cat to move and rest, to resolve the pressure of the raised floor.
