Origin of the concept: A miniature "Photo Booth" capturing life's journey
Instead of conforming to minimalist trends, TD architects boldly chose Maximalism to breathe vibrant life into the Celesta Rise apartment. Inspired by a photo booth, the design is intricately woven together through multiple layers of materials, patterns, and intersecting colors.

At Celesta Rise, a home is not just a place to return to and rest after stressful working hours; it is a multidimensional space that honors personal art. Every small corner and every piece of furniture is meticulously curated, acting as puzzle pieces within a picture frame, authentically and vividly narrating the owner's unique journey of memories.
A lingering greeting from the entryway
In TD architects' designs, the hallway is never a forgotten, secondary corner. At Celesta Rise, the entrance lobby serves as the "opening chapter" of the story. By creatively displaying art frames combined with eye-catching color blocks right as the door opens, the entryway instantly becomes a visual magnet. It draws every gaze, sparks curiosity, and emotionally guides the viewer deeper into the vibrant world inside.


A symphony of shapes and contrasting colors
The Maximalist spirit at Celesta Rise is exceptionally clear through the calculated "rebellion" of geometric language, which shapes the visual rhythm of the apartment:
- The intersection of retro and modern: The floor tiles feature continuous circular patterns mimicking the bustling rhythm of modern life, seamlessly combined with a playful checkered round stool and black-and-white checkerboard seating areas that exude a strong retro vibe.
- A vibrant color palette: The presence of contrasting, highly saturated colors such as warm red, bright orange, and turquoise creates energetic visual twists.
- Balancing the lines: To soften the visual complexity, TD architects cleverly introduced soft, curved tabletops placed next to flat, vertical cabinets, achieving a harmonious spatial proportion.


The most valuable highlight in this area is how the combination of shapes goes beyond mere decoration. The team rigorously calculated the control of light reflection on material surfaces, strategically using mirrors to create depth. This ensures that an apartment with limited square footage still maintains a comfortable, neat, and highly functional lifestyle.
Glass block partitions - a "soft boundary" optimizing limited space
For apartment spaces, zoning different areas without losing airiness is always a challenging puzzle. TD architects' solution was to use glass blocks to create a "soft partition". This material provides just enough distinction to separate spaces without obstructing the view, ensuring that natural light fully penetrates the entire area.

Right in the center, an L-shaped desk with elegantly rounded edges acts as a connecting island. This detail not only maximizes the working surface but also draws a clear boundary between the focused workspace and the storage system. As a result, despite the Maximalist style brimming with details, the overall space retains its lightness and never feels overwhelming or heavy.
