idea
The Lattice is an interior shaped by a quiet balance of warmth, order and openness. The home works with a restrained palette of teak, pale stone, textured fabrics and soft neutrals, but its character comes from the way these elements are arranged.
Across the apartment, grids, screens, niches and framed openings introduce a sense of structure without making the spaces feel rigid. The grid is one of the primary ideas in the project, but it is never treated as a decorative signature. Instead, it is used as a spatial device: to filter, frame, divide, connect and occasionally simply to organise.

The idea of grid is introduced at the entrance, where a timber door is articulated through a dense square lattice. Behind it, translucent panels allow light to pass through, giving the threshold a sense of depth and movement. The door separates the apartment from the outside while still offering a glimpse of what lies beyond. Above, a timber-lined ceiling extends the warmth of the door into the arrival space, while a round timber-framed mirror introduces a softer geometry. The grid is present, but it is not repeated for the sake of repetition. Its presence is felt through the way the entrance mediates between openness and enclosure.

Moving into the living spaces, the grid becomes lighter and more permeable. A freestanding timber screen frames the television while maintaining a visual connection between the seating area and circulation. Its repeated members create a filter rather than a wall. Elsewhere, timber shutters near the entrance offer another interpretation of the same principle. Here, the grid can move, opening and closing as required. This distinction is important to the interior: the language is consistent, but its function changes from one space to another.
live
The dining area makes the idea of order particularly visible. A collection of botanical specimens is arranged as a regular field of small framed squares, turning the grid into an image. In front of it, a long dining table sits on sculptural timber bases with rounded profiles.
The living room responds by becoming softer. Pale upholstered sofas, textured cushions and a muted green lounge chair temper the darker timber. Low tables bring horizontal planes into the room, while rounded corners and curved profiles interrupt the stronger linear language. It is a room where structure is present, but never demands attention.
