A 1,400 sq. ft. duplex in Tung Chung embodies the less is more design aesthetic

Through a crisp colour palette, clever spatial planning and natural elements, this soothing home embodies the popular "less is more" design ethos.

Nestled within Tung Chung's Coastal Skyline, this residence boasts a pristine white palette, emphasized by clever spatial organisation and adorned with natural, minimalist oak wood elements. The resulting ambiance inspires reflection on the revered "less is more" design ethos coined by the legendary architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Alexandra Suen, arctitudesign's esteemed design director, channels a deep passion for architecture and design. His meticulous planning of this 1,400 sq-ft duplex prioritised smart space use. The upper floor comprises private quarters whilst the lower floor houses communal areas, such as the inviting living space, stylish dining area, and functional kitchen. To compensate limited TV wall space, an oak screen has been affixed to the area. Its semi-hollow construction allows light to pass through, ensuring the entryway adjacent to the wooden screen is still well-lit. Adopting a pure white background, this design focuses on space management, adhering to a minimalist approach, and utilizing an unadorned, natural oak wood concept –echoing famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's design mantra that less is more.

Simplicity reigns in this space, with the intention to minimize any extraneous elements - there are no obvious doors in the living and dining room, supported by hidden door designs that promote an overall tidy and straightforward hall. The pure white walls remain uninterrupted, with only the addition of an oak staircase leading to the upper floor. Alexander, responsible for the design, describes their ethos, "We use only a few materials to create a distinct atmosphere, and our preference lies with oak." Despite limited material options, attention is still paid to providing a unified and visually normalized effect.
