Mountain Scape

TIA Home Design

​

“ A meditation-inspired family home designed for balance, calm, and connection. Layered spatial forms, rounded details, and flexible shared workspaces create a peaceful yet highly functional living environment.”

 

Both homeowners are medical specialists, with the wife recognised as one of Hong Kong’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons. With demanding careers and fast-paced lives, they hoped their home could become a place of calm, reflection, and balance.

​

Together, we developed a design concept inspired by meditation and mindfulness. Drawing from the idea that many meditation practices take place in caves, the interior features layered, mountain-like forms that flow throughout the apartment, creating a sense of depth and quiet enclosure.

​

With children in mind, all corners were softened into rounded forms to ensure safety and visual harmony. The living and working areas were combined into one generous shared space, encouraging daily interaction between adults and children. A clever layered workstation allows children’s desks to tuck neatly beneath the adult workbench, supporting learning and communication within the family.

​

Full-height magnetic walls were introduced in the dining and study areas, providing flexible surfaces for photos, notes, and daily reminders. In the children’s bedroom, custom storage cabinetry was designed with future flexibility in mind, allowing space for an additional bed as the family grows.
