Incorporating round shapes into Japandi interior design scheme adds a softer, more organic feel to the otherwise clean and minimalist aesthetic. Via the round shapes, we have introduced a sense of balance and harmony. Furthermore, the absence of sharp corners makes the space feel more open and inviting, promoting a sense of flow. Circles and rounded shapes can feel more approachable and friendly, fostering a cosy relaxed atmosphere, and warmth. 

This space can be described as both impactful and dramatic, characterised by a

saturation of sculptural shapes thoughtfully juxtaposed. Despite the intensity, the design maintains a clean and orderly aesthetic, achieving a striking sense of visual balance. The room circulation is intuitively designed to allow seamless movement, while enhancing a sense of excitement and intrigue from every viewpoint.

The design focused on a complete reimagining of the concept and layout of the main lounge. Our client sought a sophisticated and contemporary aesthetic in a monochrome scheme, embracing bold, characteristic details. The family was particularly drawn to the Japandi interior concept—a vision we brought to life with an added touch of luxury and functionality.

Situated on the ground floor, the lounge is part of an open-plan kitchen and dining area, yet it is distinctly set apart by a sunken layout, accessed via elegantly curved stairs. The contrast between materials further defines the two areas—rich walnut parquet flooring in the lounge, standing in striking opposition to the light grey micro cement finish in the kitchen and dining area.​

At the heart of that area is the striking stairwell,  

featuring a curved 4.5-meter-tall glass block wall—an architectural feature that delivers a beautiful statement, whilst allowing natural light to filter through, and simultaneously maintaining privacy due to the nature of the material used. Above is the mezzanine level that floats, adding a sense of openness and dynamic movement to the space.

 

The furnishings and fixtures embrace the organic curves demanded by the chosen Japandi interior concept. They are creating a seamless and immersive experience throughout the space. These fluid forms evoke a sense of infinity, further enhanced by reflective finishes that amplify light and depth. Notably, none of the soft furnishings feature visible legs; instead, they appear to emerge naturally from the floor, subtly floating like rocks in nature, reinforcing the tranquil and grounding essence of the design.
