A 40-year-old house has been meticulously renovated, with the designers skillfully preserving classic elements such as the terrazzo flooring and vintage window grilles, while introducing the design concept of a Japanese-style house. The striking contrast of pure white and bright orange paint makes the building stand out in its aging neighborhood, creating a unique aesthetic within the alleyways.
Each floor has been thoughtfully planned to offer a comfortable yet multifunctional space for both work and living. Innovative design features include the skylight on the first floor and the ink-wash-inspired staircase. The former uses vintage window grilles and lighting to create the illusion of natural light, while the latter transforms a once ordinary staircase into a piece of art, extending its artistic influence to the display windows and creating an engaging viewpoint.
Amidst the modern innovations, the designers also worked to preserve the beauty of the past. Repurposed wood from the original structure was used to craft baseboards and door frames, adding a layer of cultural depth and enhancing the overall visual continuity of the space. This delicate balance between innovation and tradition brings new life to the home, making it both a functional and aesthetically cohesive masterpiece.
