Description: To design 14 unique apartment types centered around modern, urban community living
Award: World Gold Winner for Residential High Rise - FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Awards 2015
Our role: Lead designer, space planning, architectural input
To create a sense of community within the overall development including 14 different fully
furnished types for a total of 931 units centered around modern, urban living. We were able to influence some
architectural structural decisions, helping to maximise space within the already compact apartments.
Space was the key and we brought in secret rooms, moving panels and added extra storage wherever possible.
The bathrooms featured sunken baths, something rarely found in a small home.
The principle design was to cater for the practical needs of everyday living. Personal and social space connections were paramount to the design, mainly due to the compact nature.
Carefully placed mirrored panels are strategically located at the end of the master bedroom and dining area to provide an impression of openness. The number of solid walls is reduced and sliding panels take their place, increasing light and allowing for better space division.
Multipurpose functions are given to furniture to provide flexible options. A 180 degrees rotating television that serves two areas, and the dual dining/ study table are key examples of this. The bedroom’s sliding screen is covered in wall vinyl, bringing softness, texture and colour as well as adding privacy.
Soft green is the calming accent to Fusion Chill’s overall soft scheme together with the selection of Oriental teak laminate flooring and lush carpet.
Window seats allow for one to rest and take-in the views of and around the development.
