Design Details

Unique Properties
For individuals, home is the place where family members bond, unite, and belong. It is only when individuals interact with each other in a shared living space that it embodies and realizes the meaning of "home". This project is a house located halfway up the mountain, considered the homeowner’s future retirement home, and a guest house.
Inspiration
The overall color palette of black, white, gray, and brown has been set as the primary spatial focus, and the textured lines of stone and wood are used to create an elegant and refined modern aesthetic. Through the water imagery, the space is designed with smooth and curved lines.
Research
The back wall is indirectly illuminated by the installation at the beveled corner below the staircase, cleverly separating the division into two parts and harmonizing the geometric table in the living room. Along the other side of the wood-grained wall, a hidden pull-out cabinet is installed to make good use of the misplaced space and meet the homeowner's needs for storage. In the living and dining room interface, the dark stone wall combines the fireplace design to demonstrate a warm and calm atmosphere, making the visitor feel the warmth of home intuitively.
Challenge
The dining room, with wooden flooring, comes with a unique combination of a wine cabinet, a fireplace, and a heat insulation design to keep the quality of wine in good condition. The air is filled with a romantic and relaxing atmosphere as diners enjoy the food and wine while looking out the window. The light brown, white, and black colors are set as the primary color scheme, with some metal objects disclosing a light and luxurious texture. Since the homeowner has a hobby of keeping fish, the designer has ingeniously integrated the center island bar in the kitchen with the geomancy fish tank to create a practical end-view art in the space.
Realization and Technology
As one opens the brown door to the interior, one will notice the ceiling designed with a distinctive upward sloping curve that extends from the entrance to the living and dining room, quietly opening up the visual space.
Operation and Interaction
The flowing marble floor tiles in the living room bring a sense of dynamism to the static carriers. Besides, the living room is colored in taupe, with a few wood grains and black objects to convey a simple texture. On top of that, a gap, intentionally planned by the designer, separates the white marbled TV wall cabinet to create an artistic effect of framing and simultaneously increase the sense of visual penetration.
Project Duration and Location
The project was completed in July 2021 in Chiayi City, Taiwan.
Specifications
The project is about 396.6 square meters.
