About Mountain Rock Comfy Home Residence
Mountain Rock Comfy Home is a residential interior design for a 133 square meter home in Taichung, Taiwan. The original four rooms were rearranged into three rooms for two people. One room was divided into two areas to enlarge the kitchen and the dressing room. Removing redundant space creates a wider and cozier interior. The space is finished with F1 class low-formaldehyde wood materials, which emit less formaldehyde than the F3 class accepted in Asia. Eco-friendly latex and mineral paints help decompose formaldehyde, and an air circulation unit maintains indoor air quality.

- Production Technology
- The entire indoor space was decorated with the low-formaldehyde materials. Even though the F 3 class of low-formaldehyde materials conforms to the standards in Asia, the designer who wanted the entire family to live in a home safer and heathier used the F1 class of low-formaldehyde wood materials, which contribute to a much lower formaldehyde emission.
- Design Challenge
- The design team resolutely believed that the logical using of good building materials reduces the damages to nature and lowers the construction costs. The efforts to preserve the gifts from nature make people to live with the environment in a more friendly and sustainable relationship.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in November 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- For the design project, the new home had the new layout, whose precise arrangement of space and traffic flow made the exact new home with 3 rooms that the homeowner ever needed. The one room divided into two areas makes the kitchen and dressing room bigger. The active design idea removing the redundant space creates a wider and cozier indoor space.
- Research
- The adhesives normally overlooked by most architects were strictly examined by the designer, who specifically demanded that the wood veneers and their adhesives be low formaldehyde. The eco-friendly latex paints, including the special mineral paint for the TV wall, can decompose formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, which is regularly contained in paints for 9 months, can be completely decomposed in a month. The eco-friendly paints are safe, attractive, healthy, and eco-friendly.
- Inspiration
- The designer not only satisfied the homeowners needs in the renovation, but also comprehensively took into consideration the health of the entire family. The new air circulation machine maintains the certain air quality in the residence.
