“Invisible boundary” serve as the central design concept of this project. We believe that an ideal living space should offer both the warmth of togetherness and the comfort of solitude. Through layered spatial composition, we articulate subtle relationships between people, light, airflow, sightlines, and emotion. The residence features a wide, open view, where we use arched windows as a language to guide light. Natural light filters gently through layers of curtains and curved structures, creating a soft, rhythmic illumination— a metaphor for how we perceive human connection: not direct, but gentle, restrained, and deeply felt.

We treat doors as an invisible language—no longer rigid partitions, but flexible thresholds between light and shadow. A magnetic sliding door between the living and dining areas allows seamless transitions between connection and privacy; a pivot door between the living room and gym offers adaptable spatial boundaries with emotional flexibility. The master bathroom continues the arch motif, creating an enveloping sense of calm and enhancing the intimacy of the space.

We also place great value on the emotional experience of coming home. At the entryway, we introduced paired columns that resemble a subtle embrace—evoking belonging, while breaking the corridor’s linearity to create moments of pause and transition.

For materials, we selected French-made cabinetry, seamlessly integrating storage into the architectural language of the walls. With carefully placed lighting and refined edge details, the space is enriched with visual depth and texture.

Together with our clients, we traveled to Milan to source every piece with care. Hard materials bring structural clarity, while soft furnishings balance the atmosphere—creating a harmony of solidity and softness, lightness and weight, both visual and tactile.

Through these invisible boundaries, La Dolce Vita not only merges Eastern and Western design vocabularies, but also interprets the Eastern philosophy of spatial restraint and presence— allowing stillness and movement, light and shadow, to align with the rhythm of daily life.
