A large couch proudly sits at the center of the living room. Above the seating hangs a light-weight chandelier, creating an ambient glow for the entire living space. A small study area furnished with a fiberglass desk and office chair is neatly tucked in the corner. The kitchen is merged with the formal dining room and breakfast


area. The ‘origami’ kitchen unit features a concealed fridge and two built-in Gorenje ovens. The freestanding, faceted island has a built-in induction hob, sink, and garbage chute. The cantilevered counter also creates an informal breakfast/bar setting. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining area. And while the living spaces are partially opened to the central


space, the bedroom and bathroom areas are enclosed by white translucent glass walls and sliding doors to allow natural light to passing-through while maintaining privacy. The bedroom and bathroom are connected by a walk-in closet. A private seating area in the bedroom completes the opulent setting. The bathroom features a central floating mirror with lit edge that divides the sinks and bathtub area. The user can watch television through a one way mirror built into the bathtub side of the divider. When the television is off, one sees just a mirror. The shower and toilet area share back-to-back configuration to facilitate plumbing in one same wall.


Some of the furniture was created by Rashid especially for the


concept house, but most of the key items were selected from the many of his designs currently available in the market, including the wooden bathtub and sink for Axia, Kawa kitchen and bathroom taps for Cisal, and built-in oven and induction hob for Gorenje. designer
