About Groove Dance Apartment
Groove Dance is an apartment interior design of 165 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a dressing room and three bathrooms. Curved lines shape the ceiling and connect the different areas. The ceiling is set at three heights to reduce the effect of the large beams and to add visual rhythm.

Bronze metal and reflective surfaces create a dance floor effect.
About Ding Jia Chen and Yu Chiao Chou
Human's internal thinking and external living space are symbiotic and coexist. Space is a projection from life, beyond the practical function of a living container. We use space to write our living stories, to depict the attitude of the individual's purest self, to interpret the unique spatial imagination for each user, and to tailor the space for the residence.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The entire space is designed on curved lines, using a smooth and elegant curved structure to shape the ceiling, and integrating different areas in the apartment. The curved and slanted lines are used to create directionality in the space, to guide the movement of the space, to change the sense of dimensionality and hierarchy in the space, and to break the original square shape and rigidity in the space with smooth lines.
- Inspiration
- Groove comes from the rhythm, which includes the melody of high and low, strength and weakness, and the sense of rhythm that can make people relax, follow the vibe and flow of the music. In this apartment, the designer brings the rhythm of groove dance into the space with irregular curved lines, through the layered curved ceiling and sloping flooring pattern, creating a visual effect of groove in the space.
- Research
- To enhance the versatility of the space, the guest room door is designed as a movable curved glass door. This door is normally used as a screen, but when fully opened, this room can be connected to the dining room to extend the scale of the dining room and living room. When closing the curved glass door, the guest has a private sleeping room with the lift up bed.
- Challenge
- The ceiling is designed with three different heights to improve the oppressiveness brought by the large beams, and to create a sense of visual rhythm on the facade. In terms of space arrangement, the curved circular movement also brings convenience to daily life. Through lighting design and reflection of reflective materials, many white arcs overlap and extend infinitely in the space, creating a natural and lively dance effect and bringing out a modern sense of style.
- Realization and Technology
- The left side of the master bedroom is also curved to create a gentle embrace around the bed. The bronze metallic material and blue reflective bandage create a dance floor like effect. At night, with reflected dim light, it gives the space a sense of understated luxury.
- Operation and Interaction
- The entrance is created with stage imagery, using reflective mirror materials and dressing mirrors to create a stage like feeling in this buffered space. The rounded corners are also used for shoe storage. This allows users to enter and exit elegantly at the entrance, whether they are ready to go or return home.
- Project Duration and Location
- Located in Taichung City, construction began in May 2020 and was completed in October 2020.
- Specifications
- The area totaled 165 square meters. There are three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a dressing room, and three bathrooms.
