Monochrome House

by Charmilles Zhao for Charmilles Interior Design

A couple designed their home to accommodate their family of four, opting for a modern style with clean lines and a color palette of black, gray, white, and wood. Artistic details, including paint, grilles, fabric, and black glass, were incorporated while staying within budget. The ground level is divided into two zones, with a custom L-shaped kitchen in the rear. Through space adjustments, a flexible room was created, and the bedroom was expanded by removing a partition wall.
