As we know, the inhabitants of Eastern countries piously honor their traditions. And as a special manifestation of this, you can name the features interior design. Of course, reality dictates its own terms, but the basic principles of home furnishings remain the same. For example, many South-East Asian countries are characterized by minimalism, where there is nothing superfluous and pompous. This is exactly the style adhered to by the authors of the project, presented below.
First of all, it should be noted that the construction of the mansion was carried out on a small plot: it literally had to fit between the neighboring houses. So it is logical that the designers had to apply the option of vertical progression.
Many people know that any variations of oriental interiors involve the use of only natural materials: stone, wood, metal, leather, textiles, etc..
This was fully respected in the design of the premises: a large part of the walls are lined with granite, chic home staircase, Which combines into a single whole two residential floors and the attic, is made of granite, polished to a mirror shine. No shortage of wood elements.
Equally modern and stylishly decorated bathroom. Surprisingly, this room looks livelier, thanks to an abundance of wood and fixtures in the form of transparent spheres of varying diameters that look like bubbles popping up playfully.

The exquisite minimalism and vertical layout of this private residence are truly stunning. However, Iโm curious about the practicality of such design. How does it impact the functionality and livability of the space? Does it create any challenges in terms of storage or accessibility?
