Soothing Home
Soothing Home is the interior design of a duplex apartment. The project combines modern simplicity with a warm and lasting character to form a calm and elegant living space. The original staircase in the center of the home was bulky and blocked natural daylight, leaving the adjacent hallway dark. A new open staircase replaces the old structure, letting light pass through and giving a lighter and broader sense of space. Materials include marble, quartz tiles, iron, natural brushed veneer, Japanese paints, engineered wood flooring and imported wallpaper.
Soothing Home Residential Apartment by Ying Kai Chu was identified as a creative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Soothing Home Residential Apartment was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that rewards exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
