About The Chasing of the Sunlight Interior Design
The Chasing of the Sunlight is a residential interior design for a single-story home of about 27 square meters. The compact plan holds two bedrooms and a dining area for three to four people. Complex lines and purely decorative forms were avoided. The ceiling, floor and walls follow quiet dark and light gray tones with light wood. Indoor walls are finished with a trowelled concrete-effect coating, and waterproof wood flooring is used. Glass sliding doors and curtains replace solid walls, so light and shadow pass through the open layout.

- Design Challenge
- The enlarged bathroom has re-built brick wall compartments and strictly waterproofing throughout the area.

The bathroom was adopted into three-pieces and the instantaneous water heater was placed above the ceiling to actively strive for the optimal utilization of floor efficiency.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in Jan. 2021 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The whole area is roughly open. And even if the glass door closing, vision, light, and shadow can penetrate. Although the kitchen counter area is small, the cooking functions are pretty complete.
The ceiling was not seal with common flat nails, but instead sprayed the whole zone with a black coating to create a sense of rising height. - Research
- The design avoided hard partitioning or adding more screens to the entryway area to naturally include into the public domain. In addition, light media such as glass sliding doors and shading curtains are used on both sides to replace the solid wall.
- Inspiration
- Because of the limited space, the design avoided excessive redundant or complex line stacking and pure decorative modeling as far as possible. The outline color between the ceiling, ground, and the wall is mainly composed of introverted and low-key dark and light grayscale and light wood color. While reserving the broader field, also maintained the flexibility of replacing furniture software in the future.
