The Design

About Stay Gold Residential Interior

Stay Gold is a residential interior design for a home of 110.7 square meters in Taoyuan, Taiwan. The layout holds three bedrooms, two living areas and two bathrooms. Curved partitions in the entryway, along with curved ceilings and wall corners, soften the protruding structural beams and let daylight move through the rooms. Suede-textured mineral paint diffuses the light, while wood and handcrafted rattan add warmth. Flexible plywood is used to form the smooth curves. Integrated storage keeps the shared spaces open, and a neutral palette supports a calm and simple atmosphere.

Production Technology
The design employs a multi-phase process combining conceptual development, precise material selection, and advanced woodworking techniques. Flexible plywood is used to create smooth curves, suede-textured paint enhances light diffusion, and handcrafted rattan elements add warmth. These techniques ensure a harmonious yet technically refined space.
Design Challenge
Transforming structural constraints such as protruding beams into design elements was a major challenge. Internally, reconciling historical context with modern minimalism required rethinking spatial relationships. Externally, production limitations and material availability demanded innovative craftsmanship, ultimately unifying the space into a refined and harmonious environment.
Inspiration
Inspired by the home's exceptional ceiling height, natural light, and scenic surroundings, Stay Gold celebrates unadorned living. By stripping away excess, the design reveals the space's intrinsic beauty, using organic textures, fluid curves, and a minimalist palette to craft a serene and reflective atmosphere.
Project Duration
The project began in June 2023 in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and was completed in September 2023. The design and planning phase lasted three months, followed by a four-month construction period. Located in the Zhonglu district, the residence embodies a refined urban retreat, balancing contemporary elegance with timeless warmth.
Operation Flow
Stay Gold invites effortless interaction, guiding movement through gentle curves and natural light. The design transforms daily transitions into engaging experiences, balancing communal openness with intimate private zones. Key moments like entering the foyer or gathering in the living area create a fluid journey that enhances comfort and connectivity.
