Project description
The homeowner enjoys hand-brewed coffee, so the kitchen is centered around a fully equipped, smoothly operated kitchen island that allows the daily act of brewing to naturally become the rhythm of the home. To let daylight serve as the best extraction medium, the social area adopts an open plan, allowing light to flow freely and create a sense of transparency and breathability.
The designer selected a light-toned palette to infuse the space with a soft, luminous filter, making the home feel more open and clear. Material expression strikes a balanced dialogue between stone and wood: the dining area features warm, understated wood with delicate texture, while the herringbone flooring adds subtle detail; the living room uses stone with minimized lines, letting its natural veining become the visual focus, pure and composed.
The warmth of wood and the clarity of stone complement each other under the modulation of light, much like the aroma of coffee that first fills the senses and then leaves a rich depth upon tasting. What the homeowner experiences is a space with just the right sense of calm—where everyday activities unfold freely, and order and comfort arise naturally. Perhaps that is precisely where “the heart leads.”
