Designed for a highly esteemed individual in the advertising industry, busy juggling business, social life, and being a son, parent and a partner. Carrying such roles and responsibilities is often intertwined and overwhelming; it can either get tangled or thrive.  

Inspired by a petiole in a plant, the design integrates all the living functions like a jigsaw puzzle. Occupants can easily switch between work, family time, and entertaining. The space is accommodating to a variety of different settings and needs.

The titanium tree-shaped divider at the entrance symbolizes the growth of a tree and its spreading branches and leaves, echoing the owner’s flourishing career, social, and family life.
