About Ocean Current Residential
Ocean Current is a residential interior design created as a holiday home in Taipei, Taiwan. The space is based on a contrast of black and white, combined with wood, stone and iron. Wooden floors with different grain textures divide the dining and living areas, while marble forms tabletops and furniture details. Black iron pieces on the wall surfaces add an industrial balance. Arc shapes appear in the ceiling, cabinets and edge trims, and a curved beam varies the height of the living room. A small area with curved wooden louvers serves for reading and work.

- Production Technology
- In this project, the first comfortable impression is represented by the warmth of the wooden floor. Carefully look at the dining room and living room, the different wood grain textures subtly divide the space areas, and secondly, the marble is used to lay the space tabletop and detailed furniture, to create a natural primitive sense of wood and stone in the space. The black iron pieces are connected in series on the facade to bring a bit of industrial-style visual balance, and add some modern design touch to the mirror.
- Design Challenge
- The arc wave design applied at all corners also needs to be matched with fine engineering methods in actual implementation. Through the utilization of the customized system cabinet and the master of the woodwork, the design team creates an interesting angle in the space with the curved edge of the woodwork and the upright cabinet barrel in the space. Other materials, such as the partial curved mirror surface, are also made by the carpenter first, and then handed over to the glass factory for plate making and then processed and assembled on site.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in February 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The arc elements that run through the lifeblood of the design of the case are fully applied in the details of the facade, ceiling, cabinet design, and flat edge trim. The curvy design not only leads to a rounded vision, but the curves of the corners and cabinet corners also bring a more comfortable and safe feeling to the circulation. In addition, a small space with a curved wooden louvers design in the back of the living room can be used for office reading. The compound block combines the rear cabinet, staggered shelves and green plants to enrich the view, making the holiday home more intimate.
