Design Details
- Unique Properties
- For the expression of spatial horizons, the house owner requires for a dark color shade, to be the main color tone and used widely for the interior decoration. Most of the spaces decorated with dark shades are easy to be a cold-tone, inflexible, and masculine place. But, the house owner of this project is a lady who loves clean, fluid and elegant style. So the designer makes a great effort to select the shade of lumber, mixes colors and finally turns out an exclusive shade with a warm and soft texture, which is a neutral and gentle color tone that meets with the personality and social status of the owner.
- Inspiration

Under the circumstance, the starting point the designer emphasizes for this project is "Me"; "Me" is the owner of this apartment, the one and the only person owns the complete right to enjoy every equipment and hardware in the space, not my friends or family members who visit my house sometimes.
- Challenge
- For the 270-degree rotating wall construction work, setting up the buried audiovisual pipelines and its smooth use in the coming future are the first priority. The buried pipelines should not be easily damaged under the long-term rotating and use. In addition, the over 20-kg iron-made material used for this rotating wall is another concern; the designer carefully selects the hardware material, which makes the user rotate the wall easily and is soldered firmly on the structure of the house.
