The Design

About Gentle Expression Residential Space

Gentle Expression is a residential interior design for a 201 square metre home in Taichung, Taiwan. The layout follows a natural and simple style. Metal and glass form modern lines, while wood is added to warm the colour temperature. Different materials mark the layers of each area and combine rigid and soft qualities. Hidden doors on the living room columns store the sliding glass doors, so the space becomes more open and transparent. Walls covered with veneers support the calm tone. Planting and natural light shape an eco-friendly home.

Production Technology
Filled with the modern lines and the cold elements such as metal and glass, the space is added with wood to adjust the colour temperature. The layers of different areas are brought out with the use of different materials, and demonstrate the sense of rigidity and softness at the same time.
Design Challenge
The delicate sense of layers in the pure and warm wood tone creates a real-life style reflecting the spirit. The use of planting, natural lighting, and some other natural elements make the house owner and his children be able to bath in the pure environment, presenting the idea of eco-lifestyle.
Research
Hidden doors are installed on the columns in the living room which is able to store the sliding glass doors and makes the space more transparent and open. The walls covered with veneers echoes the overall style, which achieves the harmony visual appeal and further emphasizes the ideal of greenery.
Inspiration
The essence of home doesnt have to decorate with gorgeous ornament; simple style is able to bring out the topic of human directly. The designer hopes to convey the life philosophy of low-key fashion with the combination of eco-friendliness, nature, and culture in the hustle and bustle city.
Project Duration
The project finished in December 2020 in Taichung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
With a brand-new perspective to interpret life, cozy sentiment is principal, supplemented by culture and art. The life philosophy is hidden in the details and enriches the layers; fashionable taste intertwines with the sense of vacation. The warmness is built to be an exclusive and unique charisma with a modern but gentle style.
