Rectangular Box Interior Design

Rectangular Box Interior Design

Rectangular Box Interior Design is an innovative residential interior design concept created by Martin Chow in 2017, specifically developed as a demonstration unit for a property development near an airport in Chongqing, China. This sophisticated design solution transforms a compact rectangular space measuring 4 meters in width, 9 meters in length, and 5 meters in height into a dynamic living environment through clever spatial organization and thematic elements. The design's distinguishing feature is its creative use of vertical space through a mezzanine floor and T-shaped staircase, which effectively maximizes the available area while creating distinct functional zones within an open-plan layout. The interior concept draws inspiration from aviation themes, targeting young couples in the airline industry, particularly flight attendants, through its thoughtfully curated design elements and worldwide collectibles display. The space incorporates contemporary materials including wallpaper, timber flooring, fabric panels, and tiles, while maintaining a fresh and youthful color scheme that resonates with its target demographic. This innovative approach to small-space living earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its excellence in spatial planning, creative theme integration, and functional design solutions. The project successfully demonstrates how strategic space utilization, combined with targeted thematic elements, can transform a basic rectangular volume into a personalized, functional living environment that speaks to a specific market segment while maintaining broad appeal through its sophisticated design execution.
