With the footprint of only 25 square meters, our team was faced with the challenging task of making this unique project "feel" bigger than it actually is.
We call this project The House of 2-Halves mainly because this building has two primary functions. The top two floors are designed for a private residence while the ground and mezzanine level allows for "public/commercial" use.
The use of exterior materials was very important since it needs to visually describe these two types of functions. At the same time, the interior also needs to reflect this duality usage of the space which means we have to make sure that the materials we use can be functional for external and internal applications.

Diamond Island Apartment

Completed Date | December 2019
Located in District 2, this Diamond Island apartment has three bedrooms, two baths, and two-sided balconies facing north and west.
Our client wanted a flexible space that both represents luxury as well as a high level of comfort.
We created the design with a multi-function approach for everything from the movable partition that serves as a vanity table as well as the bunk-bed that also has a built-in bed. This multi-function approach no doubt had many complications.
The challenge for our build team was to execute a design that is extremely detailed-and intricate from every position.
