About Serene Luxe Residential Apartment

Serene Luxe is the interior design of a 163 square meter residential apartment. The common area uses an open layout with light colors and a simple style. A custom hanging television cabinet offers storage without covering the whole wall, which reduces the visual weight. The dining table is joined to the kitchen island, adding preparation space and a place for children to play or study. Three bedrooms form the private area, and a curved half wall marks the dressing room in the master bedroom. A multi-functional room can be adapted to future family needs.

Production Technology
The storage function is met through the specially customized hanging TV cabinet, which does not cover the entire wall, but also meets the storage needs of living room, while reduces the visual and spatial oppressing sense, to create an open living moving line. In addition to the combination of partial open design, TV cabinet achieves the purpose of lightweight. With the width change of doors, it solves the rigid feeling, and creates variability, and then with the linear lights, embedded lights, and lights in the cabinet.
Design Challenge
In order to find different materials that can match each other in color and texture, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of various building materials and invest time and effort to use them flexibly. Taking the living area as an example, for the purpose of creating harmonious spatial colors, the colors used in living room and kitchen must echo each other to avoid the chaotic and abrupt visual feelings. Therefore, the grey color is used to connect the TV wall cabinet and the middle island, and the dining side cabinet is matched with the color of the sofa background wall.
Research
For the owners’ requirement of sufficient storage space, in addition to creating shoe cabinets, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets and other infrastructure, the storage space is expanded from three aspects. When planning the common area, the shoe cabinet and the side cabinet are used to form an integrated shape, combining and hiding the storage space as a place for luggage and household items.
Inspiration
For the imagination of the new home, the owner expects the environment with complete life functions and simple atmosphere. Therefore, in this case, we not only create enough storage space, but also outline a simple interior aesthetics based on the modern style. Considering the future growth needs of young children, we plan a multi-functional room that can be transformed at any time, which plan the future needs of two adults and two children.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2023 and finished in October 2023 in Taichung City.
Operation Flow
The open public area makes the interaction between the family members more direct. To continue this concept, it deliberately connects the table with the island; in addition to increasing the space for preparing meals, the table can also be used as a temporary play area or learning table for children, so that parents can take care of the children while cooking.
