Design Details

Unique Properties
This design is both a home and a stage carrying three generations’ memories. With emotion and sustainability as core, eco-friendly veneers and coatings ensure health and responsibility. Innovation lies in material balance and refined light control, shaping a durable, low-maintenance space. It meets modern needs for comfort and sustainability while blending artful aesthetics with functional living, achieving harmony between tradition and contemporary life.
Inspiration
Inspired by grayscale beauty and the philosophy of emptiness, the design highlights simplicity with clean lines, layered light, and textures. Influences include abstract art, minimalism, and Japanese serenity, bringing purity and comfort. Neutral tones with concealed lighting balance storage and display, offering flexibility and immersion. Through precise proportion and material research, the space achieves minimalist yet dynamic visuals, merging modern aesthetics with functional value.
Challenge
The challenge was balancing an old house’s structure with modern needs. The home held three generations’ memories, requiring emotional preservation and renewal. It had to support elders’ convenience while meeting younger aesthetics. Externally, safety, regulations, and feasibility posed limits; internally, sustainable material research and precise detailing were demanding. Through prototyping, adjustments, and collaboration with craftsmen, constraints were transformed into opportunities, achieving a sustainable, comfortable, and emotionally rich space.
Realization and Technology
The project combines craftsmanship and modern tech. Materials include low-formaldehyde veneers, eco-friendly coatings, stone, and metal, all chosen for health and sustainability. Layered coating techniques create warm textures, while hand-crafted veneers ensure natural balance. Digital imaging with physical sampling guided accurate execution, reducing errors and waste. This integration of traditional skill and technology gives the space distinct character, precision, and emotional resonance.
Project Duration and Location
The project timeline began with the contract signed in Annan District, Tainan City, Taiwan, in November 2024. Construction started in Xinshi District, Tainan City, Taiwan, in December of the same year and was successfully completed in June 2025, with the entire process completed within seven months.
