EXPLORE THE IDA 2025 WINNERS - GET INSPIRED BY OUTSTANDING DESIGN!
This project was designed to minimize friction among family members by incorporating an integrated design approach and meticulous planning to conceal the belongings of busy parents in a compact Hong Kong-sized apartment, creating a gentle environment for their baby. Its central undulating wall unifies the spatial flow, acts as a wayfinding feature, and conceals a bathroom, cabinetry, and mechanical systems. Implementation of ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’ cabinetry allows additional wall space to be exposed. Hence, plentiful storage does not detract from an elegant, sensual, minimalist interior.
Adrian Chan Design & Research Office (ADRO) is an award-winning, critical interiors practice. The studio sees physical, economic, or societal constraints as start-off points for exploration and experimentation. The design process is evidence-based while the style has a minimalist emphasis with an international flavor.
