Treasured Storage of Memories

Incorporating vintage objects, remembrances, and time into design, the interior is replete with narratives drawn from antique furniture and artworks.

Study serves as centerpiece of public space, with semi-open corner ports on both sides. Two materials are adopted to produce an opaque and slightly secluded character of study: on one side, see-through glass connects living room with dining and kitchen spaces, enabling sunlight to stream freely and guiding the view inside; on the other side is a wooden sliding door.

Study features faux natural tree branches as partitions on shelves and a Japanese tatami couch.

Walls of public spaces are coated with natural white clay, reminiscent of childhood memories of mud houses with hand-painted lines featuring grained texture.

Within carefully designed withered wood shelves, artistic creations of the daughter are found, mirroring rigid but soft chased sculptures next to angled dining room shrine, where Burmese teak wood platform enshrines a crystal Guanyin Bodhisattva, whose soft illumination scheme evokes a halo of light that seems to levitate, depicting the Bodhisattva's divine charm in a gentle and delicate fashion.
