Project Brief : A well-appointed dining table and chairs are placed at the center, acting as a natural divider between the living room and the entrance. A comfortable couch is placed facing the entrance door, providing a warm and inviting first impression.

Both the living room and dining area offer access to balcony, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Sliding glass doors lead to the balcony, allowing for plenty of natural light to flood the space. The balcony itself is furnished with outdoor seating, plants, and a small table for outdoor dining or relaxation. This open living room layout is designed with a thoughtful balance of functionality, style and comfort. The placement of furniture and the incorporation of key elements contributes to a harmonious and inviting atmosphere in the space.

The bar area is conveniently positioned close to the kitchen island, allowing for easy access to ingredients and utensils. The dining area itself features a well-appointed table and chairs that complement the overall design aesthetic. The basin area near the dining space is designed with practicality in mind, offering a sink with modern fixtures surrounded by countertops for food preparation or additional storage.
