Design visualizations
The concept, made spatial.
These views translate Asmar's authored plans, elevations and material direction into a plausible interior. They are design visualizations, not photographs of a completed project.

The decisions behind the view.
The original project drawing remains the source of truth for layout, circulation and the major spatial relationships developed through the case study.
The daytime plan balances sitting, working and extended-stay comfort while keeping circulation open.

Designed for living, not only sleeping.
The room was conceived for parents in their late 60s who may stay for as long as a month. It therefore needed to work as more than an occasional bedroom: the brief also called for comfortable sitting, a work surface, television viewing, daylight, outdoor access and uncomplicated movement.
French doors frame the greenery outside and give the room a strong orientation. The immediate entrance is kept clear so arrival and circulation remain easy.
Filtered daylight and foliage informed the room’s relationship with the garden.

One element, several ways to use the room.
The central move is a custom Murphy wall bed that converts into a sofa and incorporates a desk attachment. Consolidating those functions gives the room a larger sitting area during the day and reduces the amount of loose furniture required.
The coloured plan gathers storage and supporting functions around the perimeter, preserving an open centre and a direct path toward the garden doors.
The line plan keeps the entry and route to the garden-facing doors clear.

Botanical imagery, soft lighting and integrated storage compose the room’s primary wall.

A restrained media wall supports longer stays without competing with the botanical feature elevation.

The garden translated into texture.
Botanical wall imagery, olive-toned millwork, cane, woven neutrals and warm herringbone flooring connect the interior to the landscape beyond the doors. The palette remains quiet and tactile rather than overtly themed.
A ceiling plan layers recessed lights, a central decorative fixture and two lower wall fixtures so the room can shift between practical and more ambient use.
A sepia tree mural connects the interior palette to the garden beyond.
