Design Details

Unique Properties: This project showcases a modern residential interior emphasizing spatial clarity and emotional tranquility. An open-plan layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas around a sculptural glass staircase. Large-format tiled flooring, concealed lighting, and seamless cabinetry maintain visual calm. Functional zones are softly divided using materials and light, creating a minimalist yet richly layered experience.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from the desire to find calm in everyday life. Influenced by Japanese wabi-sabi and contemporary urban minimalism, the space was crafted to evoke emotional balance through natural textures, simple volumes, and quiet transitions. Every element—from lighting to stair detail—serves both function and feeling.
Research: This design explores how spatial openness, material softness, and lighting influence emotional comfort in residential settings. Drawing from Japanese and Scandinavian minimalism, it prioritizes balance and proportion. Observations of how users navigate transitions between public and private zones informed the layout. Materials and lighting were chosen to reduce cognitive stress and enhance serenity.
Challenge: The project involved combining two independent vertically stacked units into a single residence, which required structural reinforcement for a new interior staircase. Transporting large tiles was also a challenge, as they could not fit in the elevator and had to be crane-lifted. Visual heaviness was addressed by aligning structural elements with ceiling beams and using frameless glass railings for spatial clarity.
Realization and Technology: The flooring features 1200 x 2100mm large-format continuous-pattern porcelain tiles, installed with a professional leveling system to ensure surface flatness. All cabinetry is custom-built in matte lacquer, integrating recessed handles and soft-close hardware for seamless functionality. Frameless tempered glass is fixed with embedded metal channels to maintain a clean, unobtrusive interface. Linear LED strips are recessed into ceiling coves and shelf grooves, with a low-voltage dimming system for both visual comfort and flexible illumination.
Operation and Interaction: The interior utilizes a combination of glossy and matte porcelain tiles along with linear lighting to subtly define the entrance, living room, and dining area within an open-plan layout. This zoning approach preserves spatial openness while enabling visual continuity and interaction. The staircase acts as a transitional element that clearly separates public and private domains without interrupting the overall flow.
Project Duration and Location: The project was completed over a period of approximately six months, from October 2023 to April 2024. It is located in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Specifications: This is a two-story residential interior with a total floor area of approximately 158 square meters and a ceiling height of 2.85 meters. Primary materials include 1200 x 2100mm marble-pattern continuous porcelain tiles, matte metal and skin-feel slatted panels, powder-coated steel elements, artistic wall finishes, LED linear lighting, and glass stair railings. All furniture and cabinetry were custom-designed to suit the layout, ensuring both functional and aesthetic coherence.
