- Production Technology
- The television wall used one large piece of imported thin marble tile without seams, while the open space includes different zones such as the living room, the bar, the dining room and the study, subtly distinguishing the relation between life and the users via materials, colors and flooring.
- Design Challenge
- The living room emphasized artistic display space, interpreting the low-profile yet luxurious taste of life. The design including the dual-circulation for the living room and the study as well as the cabinet with sliding doors implies a closer fit to the users’ living habits, thereby increasing practical and convenient functionality. Deviating from the general design direction for layout, space is implemented with ingenious ideas in different directions and circulations within the commonly seen layout, with special emphasis on green materials selection and spatial details to present a residential space more astonishing than before.
- Research
- Environmental protection and sustainability are vital contemporary issues and designers are paying attention towards environmental protection through the details, for instance, such that when selecting materials for the walls of the corridor, the eco-friendly Lotos plaster is used, while thin marble tile is also adopted for the television wall to replace marble and manmade stone tabletop etc., thereby creating a finer, pollution-free and unique design taste with the utilization of environmental-friendly materials.
- Inspiration
- A dignified design fills the room when taking a glimpse of the inside, the house owners preference towards the dignified and conservative style.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in May 2020 in Hsinchu, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The entire space is based mainly on ink-like black, white and grey colors, hoping to bring out a warm modern style from the colors with the addition of elements such as integrated warm-colored light strips, mirrored surfaces and glasses etc., allowing space with penetrative spaciousness without feeling compressed.
