Design Concept
The design adopts a refined, contemporary language that balances tactile richness with architectural restraint. Natural materials, including warm-toned timber, pigmented stone, and soft grey finishes, are layered to create a calm yet expressive interior. Carefully detailed elements, like a slender-profile staircase and streamlined joinery, enhance spatial flow and light while allowing a quiet dialogue between historic character and modern intervention.
