3 May 2020 · Fish Migration La Casa Residenziale
Migration was come up from a Chinese idiom-“like a fish in the water”. It’s a metaphor we use that home is the only place makes people feel at ease and peace.
Infinity, the mathematical symbol, is an idea of interior flow that people can strongly feel like Fish Migration with the flow. With the use of black iron, concrete, and old woods to create different air flow, light and extension of vision. Migration conveys the sense of simplicity and silence which also are represented the households’ lifestyle and living philosophy.
Plan and promote the initial successful experience and share it with existing and future customers。
The formulation of the concept can be very long or very short. For me, it is only through the accumulation of life and literature for a long time that I have such a view of things, and it can also be said that is my design philosophy, so the creation of the concept is determined in a moment like a flash of aura.
The physical conditions of the project, customer needs, and my own views on the design, through the mutual agitation of these three, the concept naturally formed in this way.
The conditions and characteristics of the project itself, of course, there must be an owner who believes in me and has good taste.(smile)
The design culture and connotation of different countries, literary classics have a great impact on me, especially these invisible cultural connotations, maybe these are my spiritual food.
Our design is specially customized for each different customer, so there will not be the same target customer.
This design concept combines the life philosophy of the owner and the physical conditions of the house itself. Whether it looks similar or not, it will be fundamentally different in the meaning.
The name of traveling comes from the Chinese idiom "like a duck to water".
People means the duck, water means the home. It implies that the home is a place where people can feel ease and settle, and the movement in the house also echoes the form and meaning of traveling.

Hand Painted, AutoCAD SketchUp Photoshop.
Keeping the original wall will be regarded as a shortcoming, but for me it is full of features and stories.
Although it was designed independently, but it is an honor to work with a humorous and technical construction team.
It requires excellent technical skills to present the imaginary design perfectly.
Due to the old age of the house, the original organic energy and structure can no longer meet the needs of modern use. We must perform precise calculations on the existing structure and carry out the construction without damaging the existing structure, just like a doctor performing a surgical operation on the house.
In this case, the house is old and in poor condition. In order to meet the needs of the newly added functions, there are various challenges in engineering construction, structural reinforcement, and space design. Although the process is full of challenges, it is finally completed the design project through accurate design and planning.
I Hope to prove and test myself in the international design platform.
Getting full research and preparation in advance is always right. Through this opportunity of this project, I got a good experience and tested the experimental approach successfully.

The border between human and nature will be unclear which means we will add more natural elements into interior space.

Designer Interview
10 April 2024
Like ordinary people, I have no prominent design background. To meet the ideas and concepts in my mind, I naturally became a designer.
Broadly speaking, design is a way to communicate between designers and owners to solve problems.
As long as I like the design, there is no particular categories. I also pay attention to the concept and the story behind, not only to the style.
I like historical, narrative, and artistic designs, there is no specific category, because design to me is like a common language to an object. A design contains all three characteristics must be an irreplaceable classic work.
Name the company in a way that is full of stories and humor.
I like unprocessed materials that can express a sense of time, such as black iron, cement, and solid woods.
I feel the most creative when I can transform a story into an object and be recognized.
I concern about developing design in terms of concepts and storytelling. I have always believed that vitalize concepts and stories into design is like breath into a new life, which will make this work more irreplaceable.
I usually feel anticipated but afraid to be hurt at the same time, because I am like an audience, I never how it will end before it is over.
I mentally feel satisfied and full of accomplishment. These are the reasons that motivate me forward.
Passionate, persistent, and stay curious.
I will consider the rationality of the design, because an unreasonable design has no matter how good the concept is.
I think designs are created to solve problems. A designer’s responsibility is to improve the society and environment to a better level. If a design makes it worse, then there is no need for it.
I think the boundary between man and nature is becoming more and more blurry. In short, there will be more natural elements in the interior space, because man and nature are inseparable.
The inspiration for my design comes from the accumulation of life. Reading and experiencing brings me more creativity. Keeping my passion for life is the source of inspiration.
I think my style contains more than its appearance looks like. My style focuses on the arrangement and division of spaces, creates smooth movements of light and flow. These are the easiest way to improve the quality of living.
I live in Taiwan. Although our country has no long history, but we have a very diverse culture so I can see various design styles, but unfortunately I can’t find a style that truly present myself.
Design is like telling a story, the design concept is like a story outline, and the subsequent development of design is just like the chapters of the story, which must fit the theme.
Expecting and afraid of being hurt can describe my day.
Passion, persistence, curiosity~
Design has become a way of life for me. Any systematic completion of one by one should be considered a positive influence. On the contrary, it is easy to get rid of the horns and often make myself nervous because of small things.
Discover the qualities of space and present them in the way that best highlights this trait; in short: according to one's aptitude.
Enthusiasm, persistence, and curiosity. Without these fundamental qualities, I think it is difficult to last.
Usually, I will use hand-painting to construct the ideas in my mind and then use computer software to complete the draft. I used software which are AutoCAD and SketchUp most commonly.
Properly allocating the time for each to-do things is the most commonly used method, but the plan will never catch up with the changes.
Depends on the size and complexity of the project.
How to make guests understand and accept the story I gave to the space.
I think every experience is important to me, because if any of one experience is missing, I may not be what I am now.
A makeup brands.
I like simple and clear design projects. I think the project is more concise, and the more the essence of space can be shown, the tension of the project is greater too.
How to make the company move to the next stage, and then to another height.
I develop and design by myself.
I don't know where to start to talk about before I finish this project. because I am also like an audience, it is true to expect and fear of being hurt. (smile)
Can be through IG, LINE or EMAIL, of course, domestic friends can directly contact via phone.
