Opulence

Opulence is an office interior that joins an open workspace with a lounge inspired by hotel reception areas. The three-storey space covers 4000 square feet and occupies a renovated thirty-year-old house in Penang, Malaysia. A new indoor staircase connects all three floors. An oval reception desk greets visitors, and a small meeting room behind the desk allows private talks. The ceiling is made of plywood covered with black-plated mirror stainless steel plates. Direct, indirect and recessed lighting modes suit both work and rest.

Guangzhou Serene

Guangzhou Serene is a villa interior design covering an area of 795 square meters. Natural materials such as wood, travertine and leather are combined with low saturation tones of dark grey and brown. Geometric cut outs and lines replace traditional partition walls, giving the open layout a sense of connection between areas. Floor to ceiling windows bring the garden landscape indoors. Instead of a single main light, light sources are distributed across walls, ceilings and furniture, while linear lighting follows the walking route to add depth.

Villa in Clouds

In a building featuring technology and art, the design team adopted the power of technology to depict an ideal future living scene and create rich spatial layers with an immersive sensory experience, offering a strong visual impression, diverse spatial effects, and an upscale sense of comfort and relaxation to visitors. At the same time, this thoughtful design aims to bring people, technology, and buildings closer together. By striking a balance between abstraction and concreteness, the design exhibits a humanistic nature and reflects people's aspirations for a better future life.
