Article source: Design Systems Ltd Central axis, symmetry and spatial hierarchy have always been the essential compositional elements in environmental design. They can be seen in both royal architectures and civilian residences. Our designers believe the creation of a symmetrical space can help people attain a state of mental equilibrium through the experiential and spiritual aspects. Thus, axis manipulation is the point of departure of this project.  Image Courtesy © Design Systems Ltd

Such arrangement keeps the inhabitant, physically and visually, always oriented to the centre of the various spaces. Consequently, he/she is always the epicentre of a space.

The landscape in the garden is on the same axis with the window and sofas of the living room, making the landscape framed and centred in the window when the inhabitants view from the sofas.

Such as white terrazzo was used for the flooring of the garden to highlight and expose the beauty of the green; on the other hand, recycled boat-building timber was used in the living room for creating a cozy and well-grounded interior.

This design has succeeded in expressing unique individuality apart from harmonious uniformity, constructive simplicity and an orderly comfort.
