The homeowner desires a dream home that reflects their own hobbies and thoughts, as well as the wishes of other family members.
The picture portrays a living room arranged with meticulous care and subtle grace, where gentle natural light spreads through the curtains, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the room is the PK leather chair, a classic design by Poul Kjærholm for Fritz Hansen, exemplifying luxury and sophisticated living space.
The form of the PK chair is simple yet extremely elegant, with a stainless steel frame that reflects light, harmoniously combined with soft leather, providing comfort for the user. The sleek lines and minimalist design of the chair serve not only its functional purpose but also act as an artistic highlight in the living space, accentuating a modern and classy style. This chair is not only a place for rest and relaxation but also a symbol of timeless beauty in the art of furniture design.
This dining space is a harmonious blend of modern design and comfort, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and vibrant. Natural light floods in through large windows, accentuating the softness of the drapery and highlighting the gentle pastel tones. The chocolate-toned wooden doors on the back wall add a layer of warmth and unity to the room. The Super Elliptical table by Fritz Hansen, with its soft pink hue, stands at the heart of the space, encircled by bright walnut-colored leather Series 7 chairs, all exhibiting simple yet luxurious design lines. The Suspense pendant lamp in brass adds a modern touch, providing a soft glow that illuminates the dining experience, crafting the perfect setting for evening conversations over dinner.
In the bustling heart of the city, this studio apartment in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City, becomes a profound source of inspiration for the homeowner - a living space that breathes creativity and serves as a tranquil haven amidst the hurried pace of life. The owner, a soul who cherishes nature and harbors a passion for design, has long harbored the dream of a "chill" sanctuary to work in and await the cherished moments when the children return from school. Each area of the apartment is a fusion of meticulous attention and care, offering a sense of spaciousness, warmth, and openness.
Initially a stark space with two bedrooms, this 85m^2 apartment has been transformed by demolishing almost all the dividing walls, resulting in an open living area where the connection between spaces is smooth and natural. The result is a studio with just one bedroom, but with an enlarged living room that enhances comfort and freedom. The apartment's beauty is elevated by curved walls and vaulted shapes, creating an artistic and soft communal living space.
Here, in every nook, the owner has painstakingly crafted a living space rich in personal character, reflecting their personality and soul. With a desire to incorporate nature into every detail, the greenery is carefully selected to embellish, bringing vitality and peace.
This studio apartment is not just a place to live; it is a spiritual motivator, where the owner finds joy in work, creativity, and peaceful moments amid the concrete and steel of the modern world.
"For me, a home is not just about the table, the chair; it's about the 'story' that the architect wants to convey within it. And I place that in my space, to use, to behold, and to feel.”
In their tranquil abode, the homeowner has meticulously crafted the living room into an open, cozy, and airy space. Each piece of furniture is not just a selection but a testament to a journey of collecting and a profound understanding of prestigious brands from across Europe, masterpieces provided by nanoHome that rationalize the living space into a symphony of culture and history.
Bathed in natural light pouring in from the balcony, the room shines, gently embracing the soft off-white hue of the Alphabet sofa, a unique piece by Piero Lissoni for Fritz Hansen, creating an inviting and refined space. The Super Elliptical B620 dining table and the iconic Series 7 chairs by Arne Jacobsen from the 1950s, along with the DOT stools, serve not just for dining but also flexibly transform into a workspace, blurring the lines between functionality and aesthetics.
The homeowner has strategically placed the USM Haller shelf, a masterpiece from Switzerland, as the central focal point of the living room. The gleaming metal frame stands out, creating a living space that is modern, brimming with individuality, and reflective of the homeowner's timeless and sophisticated taste in aesthetics.
In the design philosophy of the homeowner, the house is not merely an architectural work but also a profound narrative that the architect intends to express through every detail and living space. The homeowner shares, "For me, the living space transcends a mere design style. It is a mark, a delicate story that the creator wants to convey. I choose to incorporate these stories into my space, to relish, to contemplate, and to empathize."
Light, it seems, is curated as an integral part of the art of living. The astute choice to eliminate walls has opened up a space filled with natural light, while the clever arrangement of downlights from Nanoco Premium and decorative lighting from &Tradition, Flos, Louis Poulsen... composes a multi-hued painting of illumination, turning every evening into a warm and poetic experience. This is what the homeowner is most passionate and proud of in their living space.
The bed is adorned with a softly peach-colored bedspread, complemented by gently contrasting throw pillows, inviting a deep and restful sleep. Beside the bed, a small bookshelf with a classic table lamp and a few books forms a private and relaxing reading nook. A brightly colored yellow painting adds a burst of vitality and personality to the space.
Further in, a door opens to the bathroom, demonstrating a flexible connection between spaces while maintaining necessary privacy. The combination of warm artificial light and soft natural light from the window creates an integrated, comfortable, and inviting resting space.
The room offers a perfect blend of warmth and smart design. The brown tones of the wood from the walls, cabinets, and bathroom door create a familiar and comfortable feeling, while the cream-colored curtains add a softness and elegance to the space.
My living space does not adhere to a strict functional division of areas. To me, the home feels as though it's enveloped in nature's embrace, as if I am dwelling within a miniature tropical forest where the vibrant green of plants and grass is ever-present, bringing tranquility and vitality to each day.
The homeowner articulates their experience of the verdant aspects of their home: "My residence transcends a mere habitat segmented by its functions. Rather, it's enveloped in nature's verdure, rendering the sensation of residing within a diminutive tropical forest—a lively and integrated space that is one with nature.”
The standout narrative within this dwelling is the refreshing embrace of the natural world. Seamlessly woven into the fabric of the home, the verdant hues of flora, strategically positioned, craft serene green havens that soften the distinction between contemporary existence and the natural environment.
Many have inquired whether incorporating numerous plants into a living space detracts from the quality of life. My response is consistently "no," a stance supported by the expertise of plant specialists and my personal experiences.
The homeowner offers advice to families contemplating home renovation projects, aiming to create a space that is both beautiful and emotionally enriching. "In my view, your home should mirror your essence and identity. The beauty of a house is subjective, resting on individual perceptions and feelings.
It's crucial to have a clear understanding of what you desire and need, enabling you to communicate explicitly and in detail with your architect. Only through this clarity can they design a living space that accurately reflects the needs, aspirations, and personality of you and your family members."
