About Chao Chien Huang

Building a dreaming space is happy and moving. Design is not only an art appearance, but also an expression of improving the quality of life. The key point of design thinking is human that is until communication, absorption, transformation and finally practice.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Although the present living space is limited, the existing space may be expanded via the extension of spirit. This design project depicts the young modern yet dignified urban style with a brand-new perspective, setting out from a comfortable sentiment, one may discover the integration of cultural art amongst the details, and the philosophy of life stacks here layer by layer.
Inspiration
The views outside of the large and wide window correspond to the bright cleanness of the indoor, while the natural light projected to the indoor space blurs the existing border between the outdoor and the indoor as if swinging between virtual and reality; the spaces inside the house overlaps and varies due to the projected lights and shadows, such that one may feel the traces of time, allowing space and heart to stop here and take a small break.
Research
The television wall is further reinforced within the space while separating the foyer from the dining room, thereby allowing the various areas to be connected visually but are in fact independent from each other.
Challenge

Since this project is a design project where two houses are combined into one, therefore, the designer rethought the layout planning in order to accurately arrange and plan the spatial layout. What is worth mentioning is the lounge and the study is designed on the same axis without a superfluous decorating interface, so that the functions may be continuous to obtain an open field of vision.
Realization and Technology
The public space covers the lounge, the dining room and the study with dark color tone as the performance; the large French window on the side allows the public space with an amplified visual effect, embracing urban sceneries outside of the window inside, further accentuating the modern urban style looks while having an open field of vision.
Operation and Interaction
