WATERDROP Residence | SUUKO DESIGN

Conception

“Waterdrop Residence” is located in Chengdu, Sichuan. It’s a refined decoration and renovation project of penthouse covering 200 m2. An overseas couple asked SUUKO to renovate it. The original residence was equipped with wall heating in the whole house, posing a huge challenge to the renovation work. In daily conversation, SUUKO sensed that they expected to live in a relatively steady and quiet environment. They didn’t need too much decoration, but emphasized the quality of life.

Spatial Construction

Due to the limitation of the original wall heating system in the overall space, suspended hangings on the ceiling, the overall layout and walls can’t be changed. We broke down the whole into parts, and sorted out and combined raw materials and colors that can be unified. We sorted out spatial order with reason, controlled the overall design context of minimalism, and then endowed space with warmth through differentiated design language.

Hanging Hallway—adjusting the suffocating feeling created by the insufficient depth of indoor hallway.

Water drop ceiling—Meeting residents’ need for the height of suspended hanging, echoing the water bar counter below and creating a tipsy lighting

Black-and-white Kitchen—-Balancing the optical environment experience of the kitchen with whiteness in the backlight space and blackness in the space facing light

Open Study—-Create an open study by isolating without breaking, so as to emulate the interactivity of space.

Quiet Bedroom—-Creating a cozy private space with simple design techniques, materials and lighting.

This is a method of design from bottom to the top, originating from reflection on the ancient manifesto that “Form follows function”. To SUUKO, it still applies. But the functions here are no longer basic physical functions in the narrow sense, but also include the psychological aesthetic needs In the field of interior design, residential design focuses more on “human beings” and the features and needs of “dwellers” themselves”, compared with other kinds of spatial design, so as to build a living atmosphere matched with dwellers’ own emotions; otherwise, decoration is only a superficial symbol.
