Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative ceiling design in White Curve Residence, featuring intersecting arcs, beautifully challenges spatial constraints - could you elaborate on how this architectural element evolved from concept to execution?
By incorporating curved elements in both horizontal and vertical surfaces, the design aims to soften the harshness of the small home's partitions and beam-column system while reflecting the feminine qualities of the homeowner, resulting in a warm and fluid space.
The harmonious blend of earthy tones and natural elements in White Curve Residence creates a remarkable sense of tranquility - what inspired your choice of this specific color palette and how does it support the emotional well-being of the young family?
The homeowner prefers a simple color palette, using a pure white base complemented by light wood tones and accents of coffee and light orange in the decor. This combination allows natural elements and air to flow gently through the space, creating a serene and tranquil environment for the body and mind.
In White Curve Residence, you have masterfully addressed feng shui considerations through clever spatial planning - could you share the thought process behind integrating these cultural principles while maintaining modern design aesthetics?
In Taiwan, Feng Shui remains an important consideration for homeowners. For example, the line of sight from the main entrance should not directly pass through to windows or the stove, and the bathroom door should not align directly with the bed in the bedroom. To address these concerns, the designer used a diagonal storage cabinet in the living room to block visual penetration from the entryway. The outer wall of the master bedroom's bathroom is covered with light-colored wood veneer to serve as a hidden door.
