This project revolves around the integration of a bold red refrigerator into a compact residence designed for a single homeowner. The refrigerator, a standout piece with a strong visual presence, served as the catalyst for the design narrative. The challenge lay in balancing this striking focal point with the broader spatial aesthetic while ensuring the space retained functionality and a sense of serenity.



Drawing inspiration from Wabi-Sabi principles, the design emphasizes natural materials, imperfections, and simplicity while incorporating modern elements for a contemporary reinterpretation. The design responds to the homeowner's lifestyle by including a dedicated yoga room for aerial yoga—a unique addition that maximizes the utility of a compact layout without compromising comfort or visual harmony.



The overall approach prioritizes balance: between boldness and subtlety, modernity and tradition, and functionality and aesthetics. Natural materials such as wood and stone are employed to ground the design, while muted tones and light textures offer a calming backdrop that complements the red refrigerator without overshadowing it. Transparent furniture, floating storage units, and soft lighting enhance the perception of space, creating an open, breathable interior that aligns with the homeowner's vision of a personalized yet functional living environment.
