Michael Merrill Design Studio created this space for a retired couple who wanted to create a home in San Francisco to winter in each year. The building they chose was a lovely 1936 Art Deco structure facing the San Francisco Bay. The Asian artifacts the homeowners collected during their travels were incorporated prominently.

This was a long and narrow room so it was a bit tricky to design, but , I was able to get three distinct areas by using Bamboo room dividers! A separate and semi-private desk area, bedroom area and hangout space (sofa). The bamboo room dividers were cost effective and singularly important in achieving functionality for all three areas within the room. The style is a bit of an Asian-inspired, Boho mix. A printed mustard yellow wallpaper frames the desk area in the back and gives it a bright pop of color, while a pale pink on the walls is a great balance to the beautiful accents and furniture throughout. I’d say it’s the perfect little girl’s room!

Resembling two halves of a whole, this pair of high back chairs represents the Tao tenet of Yin and Yang, an important influence on Zen philosophy. Exact opposites yet perfectly complementary, this pair of chairs is accompanied by a matching side table. The emphasis on straight lines evokes the simplicity and quietude of Zen.

One of the most important things for those of us who like enjoying a hot bath, is the water temperature. As time passes, the water temperature in your bathtub drops down and requires you to constantly be adding hot water to maintain the temperature, which in turn requires large capacity water boilers, wasting water and electricity. Made of state-of-the-art AquateX™ solid surface material, the Aquatica True Ofuro Japanese style bathtub with Tranquility bath heating system is fitted with a recirculation system (just like the traditional Japanese oidaki) and ozone disinfection system. The Tranquility bathtub heating system was designed to eliminate the hot water adding hassle and maintain the water temperature at a constant 104F /40C (41-45C in Europe and other markets). The built-in Tranquility heating system is utilizing a low flow/high-efficiency ultra-quiet pump. Equipped with minimalist control panel, a standard 1.5kW inline water heater (US) or 2kW (Europe and other markets) with ozone disinfection, Bluetooth audio system, and underwater LED сhromotherapy system, the Tranquility system provides the ultimate luxury bathing experience.

Create interesting vignettes on your tables that set a scene and draw viewers in incredibly important. We like to use three elements—florals, lights and a 3-D object—to give our centerpieces depth. This one pairs florals with candles and a gorgeous vintage sculpture.

Pictured here is a frosted window that adds decor for the sink area that is infront of it but more importantly allows soft light for the soaking bath tub that is on the other side of the wall. This window allows a beautiful soft light in. Perfect to maintain relaxing and therapeutic mood for the soaking tub.

The global elements in this traditional/transitional living space create a balance of old and new The Asian scroll and lamps, Indian textiles and an Islamic area rug add interest and color but are not overwhelming. Neutral upholstery and walls are important to keep the look clean and transitional.

Inspiration for an eclectic living room remodel in Los Angeles

Located at the crossroads of Ngo Quyen and Trang Tien street, International Center owns a prime spot in the heart of Hanoi's central business district, surrounded by the city's iconic cultural heritages, such as, Sword Lake, Hanoi Opera House, Metropole Hotel, and Trang Tien Plaza. Consisting 8-stories of office space and two basements for parking, International Center underwent a facade and interior renovation to bring it to a full Grade A standard and blend well with the older buildings in the area. The project's overall design, by D&P Associates, takes its inspiration from the area's heritage look and seeks a modern-classic style in which the past aligns harmoniously with the present. Aiming to respect its historical values, we preserved the original building's familiar French colonial structure. However, instead of being arranged separately, the existing windows were combined into 3-window columns, spread symmetrically on both facades to bring a sense of elegance to the building. We also used simple decorative molding and the combination of white and bronze colors to give a soft, yet luxurious look with classical architectural accents for the project. To strike a balance between past and present, we implemented modern and high-class materials wherever possible. An extensive use of bronze steel imported from Taiwan and genuine 2-layer Schuco glass imported from Germany for the cladding, helped to make a striking facade while minimizing solar and noise gain. Another statement of our exterior design is the canopies which are located at the main entrance of both facades. Extending 3 meters from the building’s face, they’re reminiscent of a pair of wings that float above the entrance hall providing a sense of lightness, and soften the building’s monolithic appearance. For the interior, the emphasis was on the reception hall, which is considered as the building's face. Our ultimate goal was to create a seamless fusion of interior and exterior architecture and a profound visual effect for its visitors. We achieved this by covering the entire ceiling and walls of the 3-meter long lobby with luxurious bronze steel to make a strong impression for passersby. In contrast, the combination of white walls, high-grade marble floors, reception desk, and black and white paintings of the old Hanoi provides an elegant monochrome look for the main hall. This style was also applied to the corridors and other public areas. For the restrooms, we introduced green for the doors and skirtings combined with white walls and marble floors. The green is inspired by the distinctive green wooden doors of the Metropole hotel - a symbol of the French colonial architectural style. Overall, with the nostalgia trend blooming in Asian culture, D&P Associates's design team aimed to express past local cultural values in a contemporary manner for the new International Center office building.
