Unique And Bold Residence Of A Designer

This contemporary apartment in China was created by a designer for himself and it shows off all his unique personality.

Designers’, artists’ and architects’ homes are my favorite eye-candies because they are usually the most creative and unique ones. Creative people tend to make their homes reflections of themselves and they look fantastic, and the home we are sharing today is one of these.

For Gengbo, the design director of YHDQ Design, the memories and tokens from his global travels served as the central inspiration for the renovation of his home in Chongqing, China. Working with an original structure of two lofts, Gengbo removed the majority of the walls to transform the space into an open and light-filled home where the owner’s artworks and findings could take centerstage.

The ethereal dark green tones of the space are matched with a muted white palette to create an overall minimalist expression. With the interior finishings, low saturation colors were chosen to evoke a creative and spiritual mood. Gengbo then added additional furnishings from Loewe, Foscarini, Moustach, Roche Bobois, and Baxter.
