AR-BSTRAC-T is the interior design concept of this residence, merging “Art” and “Abstract” to create a living environment where art is not an addition but an essential part of life. Guided by the Japanese aesthetics of Ma (spatial intervals) and Yohaku (intentional emptiness), walls are shifted to form subtle voids—natural stages for artworks to emerge. These spaces welcome all expressions reflecting the spirit of those who live here. Emphasizing material integrity and a sensory connection to nature, the design creates a living space where abstract design and artful living coexist in hermony.
