House of Hikari
House of Hikari brings a space that is shaped by restraint and intention, with architectural elements quietly doing the heavy lifting. Within the great room, implemented custom cabinetry dissolves into the walls while minimising visual clutter. Through the nifty incorporation of sliding doors, it unveils a space with a myriad of uses including a workspace, storage and even moments of play, but only when it is asked to.
Soft timber, pale surfaces and rounded openings temper the geometry, while hidden lighting adds depth without spectacle.
The interplay of pale timber, soft whites and muted greys breathe an air of calm by establishing a cohesive material language of muted shades and creamy textures. The result is a space that invites a moment of respite for anyone that graces the home.
The intentionality that goes into designing the House of Hikari manifests through the choice of a reeded glass sliding door. Effectively separating the common area from the kitchen, the usage of glass establishes a continuity in maintaining the congeniality of the space. In the kitchen, the established neutral colour palette easily welcomes embellishments that reflect the personality of the homeowners.

The tranquil aura that the spatial design aims to achieve translates seamlessly within the private quarters. Framing the room is an expansive bay window that draws daylight deep into the space, incorporating a seating nook that was upholstered in a lively botanical fabric that introduces colour, texture, and a touch of whimsy to the otherwise muted palette.
Thoughtfully designed with the homeowners' feline companion in mind, a built-in cat nook beneath was integrated, creating a cosy hideaway that allows the pet to remain close without encroaching on the room's footprint.
