In the corridor, the ceiling contains integrated built-in millwork to
store Chinese dried food items and luggage, as with the bedroom
desk and living room bench that transform into storage through a
flip-up mechanism.

ADRO approached the project with a thorough analysis of the clients'
belongings and projected growth over the next decade by considering
each individual’s evolving needs. Plentiful storage does not detract
from an elegant, soft, and sensual interior.

A sense of order is achieved through modest but precise design
gestures - meticulous planning and an integrative design strategy by
ADRO encourage circuitous flow amongst the family members. The
curved wall system offers organisation and maximal storage, made
possible through a light-handed and cost-effective manner using
oak veneer. As there was minimal use of material and little need
for demolition, ADRO was able to propose an economical way of
creating an architecturally interesting and elegant backdrop, with a
neutral palette that elevates the family’s daily rituals.
