Home of Financial Elites by Rui Design

"Design penetrates into the essence of things as deeply as possible to give us another view of the world.

Top designers create balance and moderation. Unobtrusive yet carefully designed elements illuminate our homes, for only emotional atmosphere can make a space worthy of life."
Wang Rui

Ancient and modern, East and West, reality and art
Design is logic that reshapes space.

A true residential design seeks to create an emotional connection between the space and its inhabitants. The language of design introduces urban rhythm, cultural tone, and harmonious aesthetics to create an atmosphere with a unique lifestyle that inhabitants can enjoy, love, and aspire to.

The color collection of statues welcomes inhabitants with elegant lines and rounded, powerful forms in the entrance area. These works of art are charming and majestic down to detail. They evoke images of graceful courtesans from antiquity—examples of mystery and sophistication.

Elegant background walls serve as the perfect complement. Inspiration is drawn from patterns and textures of fabrics drying in the sun. The idea of a traditional workshop adds a romantic accent to the scene. Harmonious aesthetics and environmental connotations enrich all artistic works within the dwelling.

Inside the home, walls become a key design element. Instead of standard backgrounds, their rough texture evokes rebellious freedom that celebrates diversity. The language of design invites inhabitants to define their lifestyles rather than follow predetermined ones.

Life is not a monologue. It is more like a symphony of time and space.

Wang Rui, the designer of the project, creates a unique dialogue between ancient and modern elements such as vintage sofas and paintings by Saniu. Her design language integrates diversity into the space, adding a touch of life and freshness throughout the dwelling.

The philosophy of Wang Rui's design is a deep reflection of life, an integrated approach to multiple design elements. She focuses on the present and everyday life of modernity. The 1970s and early 1980s share generational connections. This ideology of the past can become a foundation for the future, defining a starting point for creative development based on acceptance and tolerance—a unique combination of art, culture, and energy.

A collection of Roche Bobois sofas in the living room offers nobility from traditional French craftsmanship. The exclusive brand of individual design delivers a luxurious and cosmopolitan atmosphere at the highest level. Its elegance, high quality, and modernity set trends, creating artistic furniture that shapes contemporary lifestyles.

Wall cabinets feature matte surfaces with black and mahogany tones. Their noble placement creates an inclusive atmosphere for various elements. Additionally, the designer altered proportional ratios and door panel distribution several times to achieve an ideal balance between aesthetics and functionality.

The design language focuses on artistic and humanistic details that create an elegant and noble atmosphere. Such eclectic combinations of historical and social elements give the space a charming and authentic character.

Residence reflects its owner's character. Looking at collections of art on the shelves, one can understand their creative nature. More than mere objects, they represent concepts that have evolved. These are artistic ideas and historical interpretations that inhabitants can feel and sense.

The designer shapes space into a cultural journey of artistic enlightenment and spiritual baptism through dialogue between antiquity and modernity.

To ensure the best visual result, color and texture of ceramic tiles on the kitchen counter carefully match the shelves. Similarly, thoughtfully applied lacquer imparts a unique and charming texture to the space, pleasant to touch.

Elegant trim lines of shelves in the passage from the living room to the bedroom required much time to complete. Delicate fabrics were manually attached by several workers to create a silky and smooth finish. The designer applied colors from the Tang Dynasty, such as crimson red and bamboo green, in details to infuse culture into daily life of inhabitants, adding a soft sensory element that evokes memories of home.

The bedroom demonstrates simplicity from Eastern culture. Such design gives a feeling of freedom and lightness, detached from the world, providing a comfortable lifestyle.

There are two ways to complete a design project. One is to gradually fade away, the other is to end brightly with vibrant colors and bold patterns. This project ends decisively.

The walls in the bathrooms tell a lively story of Italian design, while their floors show textile textures imitating haute couture models.

Collingood once said: "All history is the history of ideas."

Human heritage consists of deeply intertwined cultural and historical elements. It is a record of aspirations, reflection of life, and collection of significant experiences. They unite ideas, aspirations, and spirituality. Moreover, they provide frameworks for our cognitive existence.

Furthermore, design expands the world into a broader and deeper space. It connects past and future, existence and art, shortening the distance between them.
