This project was commissioned by two parents with an energetic and adorable young daughter. They purchased a warm home with a practical area of 358 square feet in Kam Chun Court, Ma On Shan. The most distinctive feature of the design lies in highlighting the utilization of space, utilizing guiding lines to expand the degree of space usage. Moreover, every brick and wood inside carries the thoughtful considerations of the parents for their child.
The parents hoped to provide a comfortable living environment for their child while also making this environment a place for nurturing and shaping the child's character. To truly convey this love idea for the child, we regularly invited the clients to the site during the renovation process to confirm directions, share, and discuss the upcoming plans. Maintaining close communication with the clients was an important step in achieving their smiles and joy in accepting the finished product.
This design specially selected colours carefully chosen by the parents as a gift for their daughter. The entire space uses a variety of fresh colour elements, from the warm yellow walls seen as soon as you enter, to the kitchen's blended-colour geometric feature wall, to the blue and white designed wall above the terrazzo bathroom sink. The colour usage in the design is diverse, soft, and not monotonous. The term "a feast for the eyes" is most suitable to describe this design, as the colours make the entire space full of a happy and comfortable atmosphere. Children growing up in a colourful environment will naturally learn to appreciate the different things around them with a pleasant mindset.
Warmth is the second layer of meaning in this design. The room is filled with the parents' caring feelings for their daughter. Most of the furniture is designed with curves to prevent the child from getting hurt due to collisions. At the same time, removing sharp corners infuses the space with a touch of gentle warmth. The design of the entrance hall is different from the typical one, with an arched entrance. This is a thoughtful gesture from the parents, who hope to showcase a touch of playfulness in the space through curved lines and create a lively atmosphere for the child and the entire family environment.
The third meaning of the design is “Growing with You." The owners purchased this unit and decorated it with care because they hope it will be passed down for generations. This house will accompany their daughter as she grows, so a platform bed was chosen for the bedroom instead of a regular single bed. The arrangement can be changed at any time according to different stages of growth. No matter how old, this will always be the warmest home for their daughter.
Across different regions, cultures, and races, the only constant is the love of the previous generation for the next. Love can be expressed in different ways, and passing down love through the form of a house is a common pattern in many cultures. A home design that is enduring, innovative, and can transmit family ideas is the best gift for the next generation.
