Project Description
Skyline apartment is located in a luxury compound in Lujiazui, the financial district and business heart of Shanghai.
Surrounded by skyscrapers, the 240 sqm apartment is a contemporary home for a modern Chinese family.
The design features natural materials and light colors in order to create an urban retreat from the crowded and chaotic city.
The entrance divides the plan functionally, separating the open plan living area, with dining and tea space, from the night area.
The night area has two bedrooms, each one equipped with walking closet and en-suite bathroom, and a private studio that can be occasionally used as guest room.
The entrance hall has a minimal design. Each function of the space is characterized by the use of different materials and colors: a dark oak wood bench with shelves in the welcoming area and two grey lacquered cabinets for jackets and shoes in the corridor area.
The luxury living room has a tonal color palette of grey, white and brown: a big modern sofa fills the center of the circular space and visually divide the living room from the tea area.
The custom made TV set is inspired by traditional partition used in some contemporary Asian tea houses.
Contrast of materials and colors have been used to highlight different functions and areas of the house.
The bathroom of the master bedroom is concealed behind a wooden cube that works also as library and cabinet.
During the design and construction phases, Bylu Design worked closely with the clients, making them active participants of the creative progress.
