Blending Bauhaus functional aesthetics’ exquisiteness and the logical train of thought of movie plots, the whole creation presents a style that did not exist before. It is a method of breaking the definitions in order to use a more novel and impactful visual-language. Using the textures with retro style, and particular color tones saved in people’s mind that can trigger memories to highlight the attempt of “breakthrough in the contemporary form”. There are many design transformations in this project, for example, in the dual color floor tiling with wooden grains, and the application of the lines of turquoise door frame, etc. Between the transformations, people would think to understand the style of object at the first sight; however, they can still make an association to a completely different train of thought on each view. It seems to strip away layers of fog for the exploration. Taking another closer look, then one can discover that tracking the sight from the brownish-red round table in the dining room to the chandelier on top, then upward to the top of the room, there is a sprinkler customized to be floating and with mirrors to reflect the space. They set off one another and echo with their shapes. Reflection and smooth curvature make the space gentler. The Golden streamlined light in the top of the space specifically left by the designer and the unique design of brass pendant columns in the living room create a just-right visual balance. The soft saturated colors for gauze drapes, furniture, functional wall shelves, and the door of master bedroom are combined to turn to cover both functionality and decorativeness. It shows a natural structural aesthetics.
