Duofu Shanhe Riviera Model Room

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022

This description presents a luxurious double-height residential living room photographed from a slightly elevated vantage point that reveals the full vertical grandeur of the space, scanning from top to bottom and left to right. Dominating the upper portion of the composition, a sculptural chandelier descends from the high ceiling in a mesmerizing spiral of concentric metallic rings—imagine bronze and gold-toned ellipses floating like ripples in still water, each ring slightly larger than the one above, creating a sense of gentle downward movement. The ceiling itself is finished in smooth pale cream, establishing a luminous canopy. To the left, occupying perhaps one-quarter of the wall surface, hangs a large square abstract artwork featuring horizontal bands in warm earth tones—the brown of aged leather, the cream of natural linen, with textured striations suggesting either woven fabric or geological layers pressed over millennia. Below this artwork, a generous L-shaped sectional sofa upholstered in pale cream fabric extends across the foreground, its surface soft and inviting like thick whipped cream, adorned with an array of decorative cushions in coordinated neutrals: charcoal gray, warm bronze silk with a lustrous sheen, textured ivory, and silver-toned patterns. Before the sofa, geometric side tables in contrasting materials—white marble with gray veining cool to the touch, dark lacquered surfaces smooth as still water—hold decorative objects including a cylindrical glass hurricane containing what appears to be warm amber-toned material. The floor is covered with an area rug featuring an organic maze-like pattern in taupe and ivory, its surface suggesting soft wool underfoot. To the right, rising the full height of the double-volume space, an architectural bookshelf wall constructed of dark bronze-toned metal framework creates a dramatic grid pattern, each rectangular compartment illuminated from within by warm LED strips casting honeyed light upon displayed books, sculptural objects, and decorative vessels arranged with curatorial precision.

The overall design of the sample room is restrained, where light is integrated into the living room in a peaceful way, thus, weakening the quiet space. The warmth of wood in the master bedroom brings a restrained sense of tranquility and calmness, and accessories and lamps inject an artistic atmosphere into the space. The simple rooms seem to be like their ordinary demands for life, and everything is comfortable.
