About Breezes of Sunshine Residential
Breezes of Sunshine is a residential interior design for a two-story home of 429.75 square meters in Taipei, Taiwan. The original layout was reconfigured, the structure was reinforced and waterproofing was added. The staircase was reshaped within the existing structure so that daylight can reach previously dark areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors on the second floor open the interior to outdoor views. The dining area uses blue Fenix panels, which have low reflectivity and resist fingerprints. Solid wood veneers and marble were selected as natural materials.

- Design Challenge

Due to the building's height, this was a complex task requiring careful planning and execution while to reinforce the structural integrity of the walls, adding safety enhancements to the old building. The structural columns in the first-floor living room not only support the floor above but also, through thoughtful lighting design, symbolize the family’s emotional pillars.
