A uniquely American-style residence gently bathed in the afternoon sunlight exudes warmth and comfort. Every corner seems to whisper sweet home stories softly. The minimalist molding details, like a pleasant breeze, and the open layout space, like a flowing river, seamlessly connect the living and dining areas. The vivid smoothness of the layout renders the living room a relaxing sanctuary, perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying moments of solitude.

The use of the sliding glass door blurs the public areas’ boundaries. It enhances flexibility to respond to the homeowner’s pursuit of quality living while inviting natural light and outdoor scenery inside. Spontaneously, it helps the residents to connect with nature, enhancing an expansive and airy visual effect. Meanwhile, the two-sectioned entry design leads the traffic path and complements the layering of the space as if a balmy glare. It provides the residents and guests with a pleasant balance of privacy and coziness.
The design team reinterpreted the homeowner’s love for American style by incorporating minimalist moldings with a lacquer finish. The European-style modular cabinetry achieves a healthy living environment via low-formaldehyde materials. In the entryway, the designer implemented precise water-jet cutting techniques to collage two types of tiles with exquisite craftsmanship while enhancing maintenance. Furthermore, the TV wall features slim porcelain slabs that contribute to stain resistance and aesthetic appearance, delivering a grand and refined visual. The team excellently selects premium materials to balance the pragmatic approach and aesthetics, achieving a harmony of visual appeal and functionality.
By adjusting proportion plans, the layout cleverly creates a more spacious view than the actual footage. A transparent glass door links the sitting room with the living and dining areas, providing a flexible and multifunctional space. When the children need a quiet place for studying or playing, the door can be closed to ensure privacy and concentration. On the other hand, the open door instantly expands the views and moving flows when the family and friends come, effortlessly adapting to different occasions. The versatile design can transform into various venues and creates a lot of leeway at any time.
