Team: Lee Fu, Yu Chen
With respect to cultural diversity, this project provides a space for vernacular design as an interior choice. By combining the background culture of a married new Canadian couple we bring the possibility and discourse other than mainstream and the current defaulting design language dominated by eurocentrism.
Background Research-Ukraine
The character of Ukrainian folk architecture was influenced by such natural factors as the climate and available materials, by regional-ethnic traits, and by town architecture and the folk architecture of neighboring nations.
Background Research-Tibetan
Traditional Tibetan architecture has a unique style and form. The building is integrated with the magnificent natural landscape of the snow covered plateau and has a simple feeling.

Living Room
The living room adopts the traditional Tibetan design. The climate in Tibet is cold in winter and people spend most of their time indoors. Therefore their living room uses warm, saturated colors and fabrics to create a warm feeling. The materials and colors used in this space gives a strong closed and warm feel even with a large window.
Feature Wall
The feature wall of the stairwell uses traditional Ukrainian floral patterns, adapt with some other elements to make it better blend in with the surrounding design.
