Design Details

Unique Properties: The whole space of this case is based on gray and white, supplemented by wood, creating a functional and neat sense of life. In order to be close to the preferences of the homeowner, the designer has introduced many natural and outdoor sports elements. The porch uses imitation water paint to emphasize the natural texture.
Inspiration: The gray-blue software furniture and leather fabrics in the public space are matched with the light wood color configuration and bright orange embellishment, which injects vitality through color changes to create a richer atmosphere. Multiple spaces continue to use the same design vocabulary, and design changes are combined with white iron lines and surfaces to create a sense of uniformity in the space.
Research: The study room and the living room are bounded by sofas and high-footed desks, complementing each other, making the space its own. The window is combined with a low cabinet made of wood, so that the corner is instantly transformed into a reading area to enjoy the warmth of the sun, and it also provides a storage function. The hanging iron bookshelf changes texture with details.
Challenge: The overall space is well-lit. The use of the Honeycomb Shades can also be used in accordance with the sunlight at different periods of time, reducing radiant heat in accordance with the needs of the owner. A comfortable space can promote the residents to reduce the electricity consumption of lights and air-conditioning.
Realization and Technology: The main beam inside the building divides the public domain into two. Therefore, L-frame wood is used to extend and connect to the display window next to the TV wall. With aluminum strip lights, iron laminates and mirrors, the dark wood partitions are three-dimensionally formed to become an open display cabinet from the entrance to the living room, clearly dividing the leisure area and the dining and kitchen area.
Operation and Interaction: The configuration of L-shaped kitchen utensils opens up the originally narrow kitchen. The dining table continues the interior decoration, using the island counter to plan the site and echo the ceiling lines. The dining and kitchen space is completely framed, and the excess indoor movement is also digested. Visually, the large dining table replaces the traditional partitions, and the dual-function design makes the residence of smaller space more spacious and practical in an instant.
Project Duration and Location: This project finished in March 2021 in Hsinchu, Taiwan
Specifications: The project is 56.2 square meter.
