Situated at the CBD of Shantou, this single-storey luxury residence embraces the river view outside. Spanning 300 square meters, the space is like a piece of white curtain, which opens up a free field for people to experience.

The project draws inspiration from the visual presentation of performances on stage. We turned the white space into a serene backdrop and stage for the occupants, with the details and dotted bright colors generating dramatic visual effects, which showcase the stylish character of contemporary luxury homes. 

The word "eclectic" is derived from the Greek words eklegein and eklegesthai, meaning "to choose, make a selection".

At the early design phase, I thought about how to present this space, either by formalism or functionalism? Apparently, merely highlighting the deconstruction and form of this home is not we wanted to. Instead, we needed to incorporate storage and other functions into the space in a hidden manner, so as to reveal its most simplistic state, which well fits into the occupants' meticulous attitude towards life. The free plane and geometric shapes generate different space combinations, to showcase the occupants’ personalities. The design seeks to evoke the interaction between people and the space, and convey the fundamental spiritual core of the residence via a minimalist approach.

The simplistic color palette, which mainly consists of black and white, fully embodies a restrained aesthetic. Large areas of the space are "blank", which generate a tranquil and inclusive atmosphere. In this space dominated by calming hues, the red B&B chair and the blue Cappellini Peacock Armchair appear serene and elegant. Restrained as it looks, there is something extremely powerful, which reminds us to restrain lust and emotion, keep the soul pure and live a minimalist life.

Rational design promoted by Bauhaus in the 20th century has been influencing us. We adopted minimalist functionalism, while emphasizing people's sensory experiences in the space. 

This home breaks spatial boundaries, incorporates eclectic thinking, restrained aesthetics and rational logic, and evokes emotions, which creates an intimate stage for its occupants.
