About Tears in Venice Residential
Tears in Venice is a residential interior design created for a family of four in Taipei. Two housing units were merged to form one open living space. A girder crossing the main area defines the ceiling height and separates the living room from the open kitchen. Daylight is drawn deep into the interior, creating layers of light and shadow. The cabinets are planned to form a continuous line of light and to provide large storage. Columns and walls near the entrance are rounded to soften the structure and to support a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Numerous designers introduce the concept of "light strips" to light up the space in interior design; but the difference is that sunlight can bring people a warm and comfortable feeling. While enriching the spatial context, it also creates a visual sense of light and dark layers and contrast between virtual and real. In the minimalist space form, the light strip can also give it a breathtaking beauty of layers. - Inspiration
