About Arc Realm Residential
Arc Realm is a residential interior design that serves as a studio and a private guest house in Taipei, Taiwan. The project covers about 95.87 square meters and was completed in July 2022. An open plan layout links the living room, bar area and kitchen, so the space appears wider. Curved forms shape the ceiling, the storage cabinets and an arch shaped display cabinet beside the television wall. Stone textured panels, mineral paint and a marble dining table give a consistent texture. A folding sliding door of rainbow glass opens or closes the space as needed.

For example, the display cabinets in the bar area are paved with stone textured panels, which visually echo the stone mineral coating on the dining room walls and the marble dining table, and used transparent glass as a partition to achieve overall spatial consistency.

- Production Technology
- Through the owner's preference for a modern and comfortable tone, the overall space is transformed in terms of color, material and design ingenuity, such as the marble of the dining room table with green mineral paint on the wall; the curved design, such as the ceiling and storage cabinets in the living room and entrance hall. The folding, sliding door made of rainbow glass versatilely allows the space to be open or closed, depending on the owner's usage needs.
- Design Challenge
- The original project site had the problem of structural aging, plus the impact of water leakage from the neighbor residences, so the construction period had to be extended. The two sides quickly reached a consensus on the design. In order to enlarge the space, the design team adopted open-plan design as the core, so that the bar area and kitchen area can appear visually spacious and not confined, also reinforced the structure of the building.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in July 2022 in Taipei, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The homeowner hoped to turn this space into a studio and a private guest house, and preferred a comfortable and simple spatial ambience, so that the homeowner, who works in videography, can have a TV in the space where he or she spends a lot of time, such as the dining room and study, to meet his or her basic needs for work. In addition, the dining table can be transformed into a working table based on needs, while also offering a tasteful dining room space with excellent functionality.
- Research
- The open plan design is the main focal point of the whole space. The characteristics of different materials are cleverly combined to create a modern and diversified rich texture. On the left side of the TV wall in the living room, an arch-shaped display cabinet was designed to provide a visual effect in addition to storage and display functions. In addition, the flooring is defined by different material patterns, while the ceiling is designed with a curved shape to create a visual extension.
- Inspiration
- A modern design vocabulary is used as the starting point, with simple and smooth lines as well as a smooth curved design. Through the adept arrangement of the layout and movement flow, the visual guidance effect is brought into full play, creating a comfortable style of simplicity and restraint, and at the same time, the laying out of materials and colors injects a sense of softness into the space, allowing occupants to work and communicate at ease with others.
