About Kevin Chu

A home is more than a place to live; it is a way of life that requires cultivation. It tells a story we all yearn for, one that makes daily living more engaging. Interior design extends beyond circulation and function; it is about meeting human needs and emotions, creating a space where family members feel inspired to return and connect. A home reflects the soul and represents the art of living, embodying sincerity and emotion while revealing both the essence of life and the unique character of each space. Free from rigid stylistic boundaries, the design builds subtle layers between the tangible and the intangible.

Design Details

Unique Properties: Bright light and broad vision. An elegant space with a fresh and energetic beauty brings out the taste of life and the quality of space.
Inspiration: The designer emerged the aesthetics with rational science, which fits the imagination of intelligent technology and future life.
Research: The original space was compatible with large French window and balcony. The TV wall in the living room was not tall enough; the area of master room, the width of bedside, and the storage space of clothing were all insufficient. To solve above problems, the designer re-planned the space layout, adjusting the space layout to two rooms, one living room and one dining room which extends the spaces. The open dining room and study room lead the sunlight come inside the house, which allows people bath in the sunshine, and reduces the use of artificial light.
Challenge: Brown is the main colour tone of the living room and study room. Oak veneer is used to cover the beam which was over the desk, solving the abrupt vision of the beam.
Realization and Technology: In addition to aesthetics, the designer paid more attention to the host’s health. To this end, the project is equipped with a BWT domestic water filter- a German based company pioneers the magnesium technology. Furthermore, the designer integrated the design with ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) system, which keeps the environment clean and comfortable.
Operation and Interaction: With the designers adjustment, a large beam by the gate was hidden to be invisible so that the space of entrance is separated. The shelf on the right side makes the vision extend. Once people enter the space, the study room comes into their sights. Thin marble bricks are paved to create the majestic atmosphere. The desk is as wide as the sofa which brings out the main axis of the space, presenting the smooth and comfortable traffic flow.
Project Duration and Location: The project finished in 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
Specifications: The project is 150 square meter.
