Black Forest Residence

Flexible Suite Layout with Flowing Space

The client of Black Forest Residence is a modern, independent female who works on the financial industry. She lives independently most of the time, her parents visit her in a low frequency. Based on this, we proposed a design concept with a big and open suite: most of the spaces are open normally to decrease the closed feeling. Different function of spaces saturate and flow with each other, which could also be arranged flexibly according to function and emotion. The spaces are only separated when there is guest coming to visit to confirm the privacy of them. Also, Zhongying Black Forest is a famous residence in Shanghai which is famous for its landscape and great views. The open space layout is good for the largest and best sight of views and the connection between interior and outdoor spaces. Uncertain possibility and continuous changes bring the special experience which is different from the traditional residence. Besides, we try to restrain the design method, use minimal design language and proper material expression, building a modern and minimalist space with the poetic effect that we are always aiming for.
