The Design

About Constituting Happiness with Woods Residential Flat

Constituting Happiness with Woods is a residential interior design for a 120 square meter apartment in Taichung. Wood is applied widely on the walls, floors, doors and furniture to create a warm and consistent atmosphere. A large table of solid wood and cast iron is joined to the kitchen island in an L shape and extends toward the window. The rectangular public area is divided symmetrically into a living room and a dining room. A sliding door links the living room to a Japanese style area, so the space can be opened or kept private as needed.

Production Technology: The wooden table and kitchen island are connected in L shape. They have a wonderful moment sharing foods in the dining room, where is an important space for the family as well.

The walls comprehensively adorned with paintings are subtly distinguished from the doors. The warm wooden colors act as a role expressing the space characters. The rectangular public area is symmetrically divided into the living and dining room.
Design Challenge: The kitchen counter, in the rear of dining room, is embellished with clear white connecting with the entire space. The consolidation of cabinets and wood boards diversifies the interior design.
Research: The wooden cabinets are symmetrically decorated in the living and dining room. The large table composed of solid woods and cast irons is extended from the dining room to the window. The woods are extensively decorated on the walls and tables in the dining room and kitchen, thus showing the consistency of materials decorated in three dimensions.
Inspiration: The private area connects to the public area with a partial wood grilles and wood door. The door adorned with the vivid painting obscures the difference between the wall and door, which has become a part of indoor scene as well. This couple has his/her exclusive bedrooms, which strengthen the independent space features. The woods with lighter colors and wood grain floors create the quiet sleeping environment, and explain the consistency in design skills and materials utilizations.
Project Duration: The project finished in January 2017 in Taichung.
Operation Flow: The wire brushing veneers designed into the TV wall expose the warm tones different from textures of marbles. The Japanese-style area extending outwards from the living room is lovely for the family. The sliding door decorated between this wooden area and the living room handily either broadens the space or secures privacy as needed. The black big sofa, TV cabinet and wall painting consistently present colors.
