This design, grounded in earth tones, integrates nature into the space. The rustic hues and raw material textures harmonize like a mellifluous poem. The designer believes that “perception surpasses all,” framing the work as a tender experiment in sensory awakening that transforms dwelling into a poetic reconciliation with both the self and the world.



01 Earth Tones

From the entrance, earth tones exude warmth, like land awakening at dawn. Wood veneer and micro-cement textures guide the senses toward awareness.

02 Circulating Flow

Custom cabinets define a dual circulating flowing through the home like a stream. Daily movements become fluid, and natural interactions transform the house into a theater of life.

03 Light and Shadow

Light gives the structure vitality. Preserved beams and ceiling gaps allow daylight to cascade in, creating a ritualistic atmosphere of return.

04 Restrained Elegance

A unified palette builds layered aesthetics. Light and shadow act as brushstrokes, shaping rhythm and depth. Shifting daylight unveils restrained elegance.

05 Internal and External Symbiosis

The master suite continues the dialogue of earth tones, with headboard and cabinetry forming an embracing haven. Bedroom, study, and balcony connect seamlessly, while the terrace bathtub opens to nature, turning bathing into a ritual across seasons.



Here, perception evolves from awakening to symbiosis. The serenity indoors and the vitality outdoors achieve perfect harmony, offering a spiritual refuge within the city. The designer’s philosophy—“physically indoors, spiritually outdoors”—is fulfilled: the body rests in comfort while the soul revels in nature, composing an eternal ode to life.
