Design Details

Unique Properties
The four-story house features a calm hotel style. A combination of stone and wood, complemented by simple and clean lines, can present an intriguing elegance under the scattered light. The needs of homeowners can be fulfilled with a well-thought-out floor plan where the function of every floor is carefully defined. A clear separation between private space and public space is created so that individuals will not interfere with each other.
Inspiration
To recreate the relaxing and cozy hotel vibes, the muted color palette with less saturated colors constructs a calm texture. Without numerous storage cabinets and partition walls, the transparent layout allows for a generous and spacious feeling of space, as well as an unobstructed view, making homeowners' dream home come true. In terms of the public area, different shades of black and grey create a gradient feel with different layers of colors, connecting the TV wall, study room and dining room. Wood accents can balance a cool-toned space and create a stable and magnificent residence.
Research
The modern-style living room is decorated with black, gray and white, releasing a stable atmosphere. Complemented by wood, paint, and mirrors, the space has a restrained quality under the light. The majestic ink-colored marble forms the TV wall, with wood storage cabinets and display shelves attached to both sides. The glossy stone and rustic wood, under the reflection of the light, shape the layers and reveal the tension of the view. The sofa is moved forward to create a study area, and the walls with hand-applied materials add a humanistic atmosphere. Trimmed with curves, the exterior edges wrap around you like a warm hug.
Challenge
The master bedroom is located on the third floor. The bed is placed in a light-filled area with continuous storage cabinets. To avoid the sense of oppressiveness brought by the volume, display cabinets and skeleton shelves are interspersed among the cabinets, forming a clever vista and welcoming the change of layers. Earthy colors lighten and brighten up the secondary bedroom. Two rounded arches add a sense of playfulness, creating a comfortable sleeping atmosphere in soft light and faint shadow.
Realization and Technology
Natural solid wood veneer, natural marble, clear water mold, baking paint, metal iron parts, special glass, gray mirror
Operation and Interaction
In this four-floor abode, each floor has different purposes to best support the needs of the homeowners. A garage and entry hall are located on the first floor. Gentle wood accents make the entry hall warm and welcoming and ooze a cozy and rustic charm, greeting guests and beckoning them to come in. The open space is divided into a sofa area and a bar. Without distractions from audio and video equipment, the space can calm people down. The second floor is the public area where people gather to bond. The horizontally extended traffic flow reveals the path of light to prevent space in less saturated colors from feeling oppressive.
Project Duration and Location
The project is finished in 2023 in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
Specifications
The interior design area is about 446 square meters. The layout consists of a garage, entry hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, storeroom and one master room and one bedroom.
