Upon entering the social area, the first thing that catches the eye is the large curved form on the ceiling—like the wind’s trail over the sea. Extending from the entrance to the dining area and kitchen island, it captures the moment when a soft wave pauses in motion. The curve conceals structural beams and mechanical equipment while connecting the home’s dynamic axis.

Behind the living room, a hexagonal geometric installation appears to be an artwork but is actually a B&O speaker system. Each unit merges sound and sculptural design, resembling ripples expanding outward and turning the living room into a mood-defining family hub.

Next to the dining area, a hand-painted blue art wall condenses impressions of the harbor. Created on-site using eco-friendly paint, the piece layers the direction of the sea breeze, the rhythm of waves, and the blue of the bay into the surface, its depth subtly shifting with changes in light throughout the day. The kitchen is divided into a stir-fry area and a light-meal area, creating flexible hosting scenarios. The corridor and storage room are integrated to enhance space efficiency, giving every square meter its own sense of rhythm.

The private area is equally thoughtful. Wallpapers in the children’s rooms were personally chosen by the homeowners’ two elementary-school daughters, one themed around the jungle, the other inspired by the sky and moonlight in soft blue tones. Adjustable circular wall lamps mimic the changing phases of the moon. The master bedroom features a fabric-wrapped headboard and soft curves to create a sense of calm enclosure, while a hidden study provides a simple, private retreat for the homeowner.
