This home is the result of a profound fusion between the homeowner’s unique personality and the design team’s sensitivity and creativity. The owner — a gifted lacquer artist — leads a free-spirited, artistic life. He came to us with complete trust and admirable patience, seeking to create not just a family home, but also a space that authentically reflects his inner world and artistic identity.

The facade adopts a restrained neoclassical style, with refined molding details that feel elegant rather than ornate. Inside, the interior embraces a contemporary East Asian spirit — a harmonious blend of modernity and cultural character. Notably, the ground and first floors are dedicated to his studio and gallery, serving both as a creative workspace and a place to welcome friends and collaborators in an environment rich with personal expression.

On the ground floor, the gallery is subtly divided from the living and kitchen areas by an intricately embroidered curtain — a refined nod to Asian sensibilities. The communal space extends seamlessly to a landscaped rear courtyard, with no walls or doors interrupting the flow, reinforcing the open, liberated spirit of an artist’s life.
The kitchen is cleverly designed with built-in appliances hidden behind a continuous cabinetry system, while the island connects directly to a wine room — forming a cohesive whole where daily life flows naturally and creatively. The living area also serves as the family’s primary gathering space. At the homeowner’s request, a long bench-style sofa was chosen to allow both relaxed conversations and casual lounging — a clear statement that the home is a place to live fully and authentically.

On the first floor, the space opens up into an artistic sanctuary, combined with a serene and respectful altar corner — a place for introspection and spiritual nourishment.
The private bedroom on the second floor adopts a softer, more subdued palette. Simple molding lines, mirrored ceiling panels, metallic accents, and light wood finishes come together in a refined contrast — striking a balance between modernity and elegance, while preserving warmth and tranquility.
