Balance is a project designed by Mojo Design Studio. In order to create an environment suitable for children to grow up, the main space was designed in warm and bright light colors. The open-loop layout is used to create a circular and flexible movement and use of space, solving the problem of rigid movement in rectangular spaces while not moving the layout. Light is brought in through floor-to-ceiling windows to create a relaxed but calm atmosphere. The project is both open and private, satisfying the needs of parent-child interaction and independent space, enhancing emotional interaction while maintaining the integrity of each, and striking a balance between lifestyle and childhood interest.
