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.

This apartment is intended to be an Airbnb rental space and is one of the four investment units from a part-time real estate investor - whose day job is running a high-profile marketing company. This Miami-Vice theme apartment was created to be a space that can be identifiable by all sexes but mainly from the unique-personality types of individuals.
Accented with bright pastel colors, our ID palette was intended to reflect the colorful and fun theme of the popular 1980's television show Miami Vice.
We wanted to create a space that is comfortable and fun but at the same time, display a high-quality sense of materials and textures.
