About Marble Art with Zen Residential Apartment
Marble Art with Zen is a residential apartment interior designed for a four-generation family in a mountain setting. The walls between two units were removed to create one large U-shaped apartment with wrap-around windows and wide river views. Two structural pillars are clad in marble with multiple angled faces, forming art installations. A wooden grate with warm tones and straight lines contrasts with the marble. The bedrooms are grouped in the wings for privacy, while the open common area supports shared use.
