Living needs
The home supports a family of four, with a grandparent helping with childcare. The owner, a doctor, wanted a bright and orderly home that is easy to maintain, while keeping space for plants on the balcony.
Shared area
Instead of a conventional sofa-and-TV living room, the design gives more importance to the kitchen, dining table, and open activity area, making the 80 sqm home feel more spacious and connected.
Child room
The secondary bedroom is turned into a castle-inspired child room, combining bed, storage, slide, and play space with soft green and orange accents.
Bedroom and bathrooms
The main bedroom stays calm with muted tones, ample storage, and greenery by the window. The bathrooms use clean surfaces and black fixtures to reduce visual clutter and support easier maintenance.
Balcony
The balcony keeps the owner’s planting habit at the center of daily life, connecting natural light, sheer curtains, pale flooring, and greenery into one continuous atmosphere.
