SHORT DESCRIPTION

Drawing inspiration from Ms.Shen’s daughter's jewelry artistry, the design adopts Mondrian's three primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—as its central visual theme. The cheetah motifs grace every corner of the space. These dynamic, powerful forms engage in a vibrant interplay with the bold color palette. The spatial layout adapts organically to the client’s functional needs. A striking red spiral staircase commands attention. Its smooth lines and rhythmic shapes highlight the residence’s vitality and tension. A family library is created beneath the staircase, surrounded by wide-ranging books arranged in dark wood shelves. Soft yet luminous built-in light strips cast a gentle glow over each volume. It serves multiple roles: as Ms. Shen’s lectern for live broadcasts, a filming studio for reading lessons, a storytelling hub for neighborhood children, and a moonlit sanctuary for Pilates meditation. The ground floor accommodates Ms. Shen’s mother. Honoring the building’s original framework, sunlight streams through the glass skylight, igniting an instantaneous bloom of vitality and soft luminosity. The foyer’s arc-shaped portal merges seamlessly into the living area, framing garden vistas. The semi-transparent glass screen elegantly partitions the area, with light and shadow penetrating through. The water droplet art installation symbolizes "ripples of life", representing the little joys in simple life, and the cheetah figurine embodies the homeowner’s spirit, blending strength with grace. Guided by the core philosophy of "nurturing evolving intimacy", the second floor is transformed into a private realm for the homeowner and her daughter—a space for both solitude and shared moments. In the master bedroom, a soft lavender palette establishes a dreamlike atmosphere. Floral wallpaper dialogues with abstract art paintings. The shared space offers flexibility, servin family gatherings and secluded nooks for solitude.
