About Interwoven Layers Residence
Interwoven Layers is a residential interior design completed in Taipei in 2019. The home is organized along a clear axis, where cabinets and walls form lines that intersect and align to create spatial layers. Open and penetrating elements let air and light pass through the interior, while materials and colors define both ends of the axis. A wide metal-plate ceiling slides beneath a traversing structural beam and becomes the visual focus of the corridor. Rusted metalwork, painted surfaces and an art collection add an artistic atmosphere.

Iron winners demonstrate great skill, high specialization, expert understanding, and creative capacity of their creators. Interwoven Layers Residence is expected to be a highly regarded, admired, and cherished creation that is practical and innovative. This Iron A' Design Award-winning design integrates industry best practices and has competent technical characteristics linked with know-how and talent. Interwoven Layers Residence is respected for its thoroughness and is designed to provide quality of life improvements that help make the world a better place.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Through cabinet and wall in the articulation of linear reality and virtuality arrayed, intersected and aligned in the domain, it gives rise to spatial layers, as the penetrating design allows air and light to permeate through the interior while materials and colors demarcate and enrich both ends of the axis, and allowing the design underlay to flourish under the metal-plate ceiling, as the changing light and reflection of shadow compose a beautiful picture.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- As the structural beam traverses across, the wide metal-plate ceiling slides under in forming a visual focus along a corridor, while utilizing the L-shape extension of flooring materials and walls in creating the extensive visual perception. As the void cabinets in the space are composed of lines and geometry, through wall lines and linear relationships, they create very unique views of the virtual and the real in domain transitions.

- Production Technology
- As the minimalist design is imbued with the living memory and artwork collection of the client, the rusted metalwork and painted area create an artistic ambiance in which the design underlay flourishes under the metal-plate ceiling, as the changing light and reflection of shadow compose a beautiful picture.
- Design Challenge
- As the structural beam and column system affected the spatial perception and layout planning, the traversing beam was especially difficult to deal with, and as the corridor and ceiling beam intersect with one another, it prompted metal plate to be inserted in the ceiling to create a new visual perception and focus, hence solving the issue of traversing beams.
- Research
- As the architectural volume constructs the cubic space, time and daily rituals contribute to the making of such a warm domain. With lines arrayed, intersected and aligned in the domain, it gives rise to spatial layers, as the penetrating design allows air and light to permeate through the interior while materials and colors demarcate and enrich both ends of the axis, and allowing the design underlay to flourish under the metal-plate ceiling, as the changing light and reflection of shadow compose a beautiful picture.
- Inspiration
- As the architectural volume constructs the cubic space, time and daily rituals contribute to the making of such a warm domain. With distilled design discourse, there is a dialogue reflecting the imagination for the future, under the demarcating axis, an enriched living experience ensues.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in August, 2019 inTaipei.
- Operation Flow
- As the structural beam and column system affected the spatial perception and layout planning. The traversing beam was especially difficult to deal with, and as the corridor and ceiling beam intersect with one another, it prompted metal plate to be inserted in the ceiling to create a new visual perception and focus, hence solving the issue of traversing beams.
