Im Erdgeschoss befinden sich Garage, Eingangsbereich und Lagerraum. Das zweite Geschoss beherbergt Wohnzimmer, Essbereich sowie eine Bartheke, die mit einer Außenterrasse verbunden ist. Im dritten und vierten Geschoss liegen die Schlafzimmer, ein begehbarer Kleiderschrank und ein Arbeitszimmer. Oberflächen aus Platanenholz und eine dunkle Grauskala prägen das Interieur. Katzenstege und eine maßgefertigte Treppenplattform ermöglichen den Haustieren freie Bewegung.

Production Technology: The color scheme is defined by a dark, sophisticated grayscale, enriched with expansive Sycamore wood surfaces that add depth and texture. With its natural patina, this wood evolves under shifting light, offering warmth and a seamless connection to the surrounding greenery. The interplay of materials and nature fosters tranquility and groundedness. Bathrooms feature luxury Italian fixtures, accented with copper-toned metal details for elegance and refinement. These subtle metallic touches create a sophisticated contrast, enhancing the home's timeless and understated luxury.
Design Challenge: Although this villa offers multi-level living, the limited floor area per level posed a challenge in balancing storage and openness. Maintaining functionality while ensuring spatial fluidity became a key focus. A major transformation on the second floor involved removing the original railing between the living and dining areas, creating a seamless, open connection. The staircase was also carefully designed, prioritizing safety and ergonomics while serving as a refined visual element. Thoughtfully selected materials enhance its aesthetic appeal, reinforcing the villa's cohesive and harmonious design.
Research: Nestled in the mountains of northern Taiwan, this hillside villa embodies 'natural tranquility,' offering an elegant sanctuary for modern living. With abundant wooden elements and a carefully planned layout, the interior seamlessly connects with the surrounding landscape, creating a refined yet serene ambiance. Fluid circulation and multifunctional spaces define the design, with a layered, stair-like path linking areas while maintaining openness. The second floor features a spacious dining area for ten, an extended bar counter, and custom storage, blending functionality with sophistication for effortless entertaining.
Inspiration: In the fast-paced rhythm of modern city life, home is no longer just a shelter but a sanctuary for the soul. Nestled in the mountains of northern Taiwan, this residence was designed to fulfill the homeowner's desire for tranquility and a grounded lifestyle. Expansive wooden elements and a carefully layered layout create an elegant yet comfortable space. The design fosters a refined, inviting atmosphere that balances sophistication with warmth, providing a serene retreat from urban life while maintaining a timeless, harmonious aesthetic.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: After moving in, the homeowner praised the seamless circulation. Staggered levels allow effortless movement, enhancing both function and comfort. Whether enjoying a quiet morning in soft daylight or hosting lively gatherings, each space adapts to refined living. The spacious dining table and bar counter on the second floor have become a focal point, fostering social events and quality family time. Custom cat perches and smart storage solutions add flexibility, ensuring the home aligns with the family's lifestyle and evolving needs.
