The design concept of this project revolves around 'a poetic urban dwelling in harmony with nature,' using simple materials, soft tones, and the integration of natural elements to create a living space that combines vintage charm with modern comfort.
The living room features a vintage oil-wax leather sofa that conveys a sense of time-weathered texture. A retro patterned carpet awakens the space's nostalgic character, paired with herringbone wooden flooring in a natural wood tone, allowing the roughness and warmth of different materials to intertwine. This creates a 'touchable warmth' both visually and tactilely, alleviating the coldness of the urban environment.
Breaking the boundary between indoors and outdoors with oversized floor-to-ceiling glass, the courtyard's olive trees and greenery are brought into the space, allowing nature to become a 'dynamic backdrop' for the interior; the flames of the fireplace, the vines of the plants, and the natural textures of wooden furniture embed natural elements into the space in a 'perceivable and tangible' form, letting residents constantly sense the breath of nature and achieving 'bringing the poetry of the courtyard into daily life.'
