Many of our interior design projects have been recognized with awards, such as the Duplex Design in Yuen Long and the Special Garden Unit in Tai Po. We take great pride in our ability to create remarkable living spaces that enhance the quality of life for our clients.
Laguna Verde Project
For instance, in our latest residential design project at Laguna Verde in Hung Hom, we have paid meticulous attention to detail, incorporating elements like curved shapes, textured painted finishes, and rattan cabinetry. These details, complemented by the homeowner’s preference for natural materials, have resulted in a design that is both visually appealing and exceptionally comfortable.
Additionally, the incorporation of various smart home appliances in the design has provided residents with a more convenient and seamless living experience.
Living room
Furthermore, we pay special attention to spatial planning to foster harmonious relationships within the household. For instance, we have incorporated an open reading area in the living room, complete with beanbags on the floor, allowing the family members to read and converse in a convenient and cozy setting, strengthening the bond between parents and children. The living room utilizes wooden flooring, creating a clear distinction of zones.
Master bedroom
In the master bedroom, we have incorporated deep wooden tones complemented by rattan elements which, along with the addition of textured paint, exudes a beautiful contrast between a modern aesthetic and natural materials.
The same colour scheme has been consistently used throughout the house, along with the use of similar materials. However, we have introduced variations in the shape design. The overall impression is very comfortable in the long run, while also offering clients a timeless experience.
