Chan Tsun - Temasek Polytechnic
The concept of my design was derived from the word “Warmth”. The word “Warmth” is defined as to be showing a sense of affection and friendliness. People work day in and out every single day and often get pressured by their bosses or clients and the only thing they want to do after work is to find a place where they can relax and confide in. Thus, the concept of my design is to create a warmth space where the clients can come to their home which represents their little haven that they can confide in and rest their mind and body from a day’s work and spend time with their loved ones. A rich colour tone was envisioned with natural materials to bring warmth and highlights to the dramatic rooms that resulted. The spaces were furnished with a fusion of local and international furnishing brands along with custom-designed furniture. The storage and shelf in the house were thoughtfully designed to be incorporated with the custom-made furniture to create a seamless and neat layout to the spaces. The key aspect of the design was to create a diverse series of spaces whereby they each have their individual unique touch but at the same time having something in common that connects them as a family of related spaces. The different rooms have been designed in varying neutral tones, always using natural timber as the constant element present. The custom-made furniture designs were thoughtfully created to live alongside the woven rugs, eccentric objects, and iconic lamps to harmonize and create a sense of individuality to each of the rooms. The strong connection of the spaces is seen in the same continuity of materials throughout the house. The use of different sustainable timber, harmonizing with the soft fabric and worn leather to compose a warmth interior and giving a sense of finest to the overall space.
Any original furniture design or design elements/innovations you would like to highlight?
Living Room:
Television Cabinet – Built in storage can be pulled out to store books or other objects and then pushed back in to keep. This is designed to reduce the clutter in the house and to create a seamless and neat layout. The handles of the Television cabinet were thoughtfully designed to suit the ergonomics of pulling out the storage in the most comfortable way and at the same time seamlessly blending in with the rest of the facade.
Dining Room:
Casual Seating Area – Built in storage where people can sit on and when they want to store objects, they can lift the seat up and insert the objects into the space, this was designed to blend the storage with furniture to create a clean spatial layout.
Pantry / Storage Area – Custom made to fit perfectly in the interior space to store items and the cabinets are operated using “Blum System”.
Children’s bedroom:
Bed Frame – The bed frames were designed to have built in storage to keep their toys and books or etc., each having their own personal storage to put their things. Additionally, each of them had their own chalkboard and desk built in to do their drawing and homework.
Master Bedroom:
Bed Frame – the Bed Frame was custom designed to suit the structural space of the room and in addition a built-in board to mount the television to watch movies while lying in bed comfortably.
