By The EW Apartment, designed by DaoHo Studio, aims to strike a balance between bustling urban life and serene living spaces.
Introduction
Situated in the Euro Window building, the 2415EW apartment occupies a prime location in the city center. With its glass facade offering expansive views and abundant natural light, the apartment presents a unique opportunity to blend urban vibrancy with tranquil living. However, the presence of a bedroom obstructing part of the view posed a challenge during the renovation process.
Design Concept
Upon consultation with the owner, who expressed a love for music and desired a space for both living and entertainment, the design team envisioned a multifunctional environment. The solution involved reconfiguring the layout to create an open-plan living area, with the kitchen and living room occupying half of the apartment’s space. This central area, aptly termed the “chill-out space,” serves as a hub for relaxation and socializing.
Unique Features
To address architectural constraints such as a concrete column, the team transformed it into a mirrored cladding, enhancing the sense of spaciousness and continuity within the apartment. Frosted glass partitions were used in the master and bedrooms to maintain visual connectivity while providing privacy when needed.
Spatial Arrangement
The entrance hall, deliberately obscured by a bar that doubles as the kitchen island, guides visitors gradually into the living spaces, heightening anticipation before revealing the apartment’s full ambiance. The kitchen island, crafted from brushed copper monolithic, serves as a striking focal point, adding visual interest to the minimalist design.
Interior Design
Embracing a minimalist aesthetic, the apartment features a juxtaposition of solid and open boxes, carefully selected furniture pieces, and a cohesive design palette. Each element was meticulously chosen to complement the spatial layout, ensuring a seamless integration of form and function.
Conclusion
In essence, the 2415EW apartment embodies convenience and comfort, offering a harmonious blend of urban sophistication and peaceful retreat. Through thoughtful design interventions and strategic spatial arrangements, DaoHo Studio has created a space that caters to both the practical needs and aesthetic preferences of its inhabitants.
