Boundless light

Interiors by MTO Design

From the interior designers:

Design ethos

This project is located in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province and has three distinct design advantages. 

First, Chinese and Western cultures integrate through the aesthetics of material forms and natural light. 

Second, it absorbs the local cultural atmosphere and forms a unique park-city lifestyle scene that conforms to the project's positioning. 

Third, it adopts environmentally friendly materials to further refine the production of installation materials.

Drawing inspiration from the integration of Chengdu's local culture and international aesthetics, the design extracts local elements such as Shu Embroidery and the colour palettes of Sichuan Opera Face-Changing. 

It uses the element of light to adorn the shape of the interior space and its decorations, ultimately presenting an eclectic style infused with contemporary French romance.

Environmentally in-tune

Material application centres on environmental protection. 

In the creation of art installations and wall paintings, aged pigments and waste materials are used for crafting. 

No special technologies are involved, and the design effect is mainly presented through the combination of material properties and the element of light.

Colourful and cultural

As an emerging commercial city, Chengdu also boasts profound local cultural heritage. 

The project integrates the texture of Shu Embroidery stitches and the colour relationships of Sichuan Opera Face-Changing masks, and combines them with the theme of 'Boundless Light' to present itself through contemporary artistic approaches.

Artistic considerations

The style is relatively high-risk in the domestic real estate market. 

Plus, as a remote project with a tight construction schedule, the implementation of the installation art encountered twists and turns, and there was also overlapping work. 

Finally, in the creation of the artistic wall paintings, all parties involved had differences in their understanding of art.

Party A and Party B worked together to implement the style effect in accordance with the initial design plan. 

Through timely communication and a commitment to artistic pursuit, the designer resolved the issues regarding the implementation of the installations. 

Regarding the disputes over the wall paintings, the designer made revisions personally and completed the works using old pigments and materials.

Flowing spatial vocabulary

This project takes 'Boundless Light' as its core, draws on the essence of local culture, and integrates international aesthetic perspectives to create a poetic residence that combines Chinese and Western characteristics. 

The design expands the visual dimension through flowing spatial vocabulary; the indoor floor-to-ceiling windows erase spatial boundaries; and the multi-functional private spaces cater to diverse living scenarios. 

Overall, it integrates art with life and seeks a balance between functionality, aesthetics, and emotion.
