Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Neutral grayscale shades match the tranquil scene, and the hand-painted smears on the walls present a rustic and original tone in a low profile. Wood, white hues, dark gray shades, iron, glass, and other elements are mixed to create an elegant scene.
- Inspiration
- Sitting around lush green trees, the house enjoys a stunning view. As a bridge between indoors and outdoors, floor-to-ceiling windows introduce abundant light. The maximized window-to-wall offer a full-length view of the outside as well as expanding the spatial vision.
- Research
- The simplicity forms a neat dining scene. The modern table and white kitchenware create a cozy and inviting atmosphere with the diffusion of light. The dimmable light source changes the visual appearance and mood of the space according to the residents' preference. When adjusting light level from bright to dark, you can embrace a bistro-like vibe.
- Challenge
- The structural beam spans the canopy at the junction of the living room and the foyer. While synchronizing the coating of the TV wall, it starts with the wall next to the shoe cabinet and wrapping the beam upward, continuing to the wall next to the dining table. The vestibule spans over large space to reduce the presence of volume.
- Realization and Technology
- Faux finishes, veneer, systeam furniture, wooden floor, tile, ironwork
- Operation and Interaction
- The dark gray stone tiles and wooden cabinet are the first impression of the entrance. The natural wood and stone offer a relaxing vibe when the house owner returns home. The screen is made of slim iron pieces with glass assemblies. Thanks to opacity of the glass film, it lets the light pass through while retaining privacy. The natural light coming from the glass is softened by the glass, and cast a white, non-dazzling sunshine. Stepping into the living room, there is a change in flooring material. The wooden flooring gives a comfortable and skin-friendly touch to the space.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in August 2021 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- In the space of 392 square meters, there are one living room, one dining room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
