About Chinese Brush Flow Residential
Chinese Brush Flow is a residential interior design created for a home shared by three generations in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Planning began at the roughcast stage, which allowed a clear separation between public and private areas. Natural stone materials such as marble, granite and ruby stone are used on floors, walls and cabinet backboards. Rose gold titanium-plated metal lines and a curved ceiling soften sharp angles and reflect indirect light. Dark marble tops on coffee tables, dining tables and bar counters resist staining and simplify daily care.

Selected materials are the same as the public area style of rose gold and stone materials with the same color tones.
- Dimensions & Packaging

- Design Challenge
- This case is a rare space design from its material diversity; its complexity was hard to deliver. Yet, the designer point of view and atheistic applied material characteristics precisely to balance the colors within the structure. The curved linear designs and warm-color-toned stainless titanium-plated materials soften the sharpness from the angles, while the light-colored ceiling increased the public area leading tone. Other materials on the high top, the rose gold metal board, increase the delicacy for the space. Dark-colored soft furniture strengthens visual highlights and expanded the colors into private areas.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in June 2010 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- All coffee tables, bar counters, dining tables, and other surfaces are made with marble materials in dark colors, allowing users to enjoy drinks and food freely without considering dyeing and other maintenance issues; it also increases the steadiness of the space. In this residence, the Fibaro Living Home system is specially selected to connect with lightings, curtains, projectors, televisions, sounds, and other home appliances for indoor mode control at different times; it could even prepare coffee when the client is awake.
- Research
- The client of the residence values privacy; therefore, the separations between public and private areas are made to be precise. Guest bathrooms are set up to maintain the human traffic flow for guest greeting and private spaces starting from the entryway. The living room ceiling applied rose gold titanium-plated boards with scattered curved terrace design; the color of the metal will reflect indirectly through the lightings that create an elegant sense for the area by echoing with the natural stone materials.
- Inspiration
- This house client of this case is fond of comfortable and refined residences. Three generations live within the space, and the planning started from the roughcast stage. From the public space that greets guests, the smooth traffic flow of the kitchen and the dining room, and the clear separation between private and public areas, the designer applied a massive amount of natural stone materials to create staggering visual effects and delivered a sense of nature and delicate. The people-oriented concept can be seen in the balance between areas and the cleaver details of lights and shadows.
