Usually, when one steps into a unit, he or she will notice the center of the living room. The original wall, which had a sharp edge, appeared cold and rigid. This new curved brick wall creates a sense of comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. The simple white wall also allows the sleek Bang & Olufsen Beovision Horizon TV with wheel stand in front of it to stand out.
This minimalist aesthetic is also seen in the Kartell Componibili storage unit in the dining room. The wooden unit gives the apartment a sleek Scandinavian feel, while the use of indirect light and the placement of a painting in the center allow the home to feel more spacious despite the use of several large storage units.
Complementing the design are stand-out funiture, such as an Innermost Origami table, Knoll Bertoia Wire Chair, Magis Deja-vu Chair by Naoto Fukusawa and Kartell La Marie chair by Phillippe Starck.
Warm, concealed lighting is also used to great effect. “We spent a lot of time thinking about the lighting of the unit, and hope the effect can create a different feeling during the day and at night,” said Leung.
Lighting was not a problem in the master bedroom, which had two large windows allowing natural light to enter. But it presented a different challenge: an awkward corner which made it tricky to maximize space. But by cunningly turning it into a walk-in wardrobe, Leung increased storage space and freed the bedroom for eye-catching furniture pieces, such as a Fritz Hansen Ant chair by Arne Jacobsen and a Bang & Olufsen Beloit 17 speaker.
