Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The images of 'wabi-sabi' and 'raw' are fully expressed. The 'wabi-sabi' is embodied in the inlay of open bar shelving and hidden cabinets, which weaken the volume of the space. In this way, the blank space between objects creates a sense of solitude, revealing the concepts of minimalism, low profile, and plainness. The arc design with mineral paint at the turning point presents a natural visual, and the irregular texture of the mineral lacquer is a metaphor for the imperfect aesthetics of Japanese life. As for the ceiling, it is designed with a curved shape.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is a four-story newly completed house. The first floor is the public area, including the garage, balcony, and 46 square meters of living and dining space. The second floor is the private area, which includes a toilet, terrace, bathroom, and 28 square meters of bedroom. The third floor contains the second bedroom and storage space. The fourth floor is a multi-functional space with a toilet, balcony, terrace, staircase, and a 21-square-meter study room.
Tags: Wabi-sabi, raw, arc elements, mineral paint, light color.
Production Technology: Building materials: mineral paint, original color wood floor, grille, mirror, iron parts, white honeycomb blinds, etc. The building materials used in a large area of the space are pure. Because of the minimalist design of the space, the design team took the textures of the materials and added delicate details at the same time. For example, the flooring is made of wood grain with 1/2 tile, staggered tile, and random tile, and the natural lines have an extended visual effect.
Design Challenge: The challenge of this project is the constricted layout, which is a common problem in single-family houses in Taiwan. The rectangular shape of the space limits the route and the planning of the area, so the design team focused on maximizing the light in the light-facing area to allow natural light to fall evenly in the room and leave a wabi-sabi distance between objects. In the end, the design team used the texture of the building materials to present the design in a standardized pattern and used distance planning to mitigate the disadvantages of the site.
Research: The design team used a single color to present the whole space and created details to make the space fit both the empty feeling of wabi-sabi and the pure sense of rawness. The project is presented with a minimum of decoration in terms of materials, layout, and design techniques. The natural texture of the mineral paint is like washed-out skin, and its natural pores are the most beautiful highlight through the reflection of light and material. On the other hand, the warm texture of the wood flooring adds vitality to the light-colored space. The facades are designed with hidden cabinets to eliminate the bulkiness of the volume.
Inspiration: The design team used mineral paint and wood to bring the silent beauty of wabi-sabi into the space, while the arcs allow people to feel the beauty of nature and roundness together. The light color reflects the texture of the mineral paint, and the original wood color retains the purest appearance. The raw texture of the material brings a different look to the space. The design team eliminated the complicated design to present raw imagery and finally used simple lines and layouts to form a pure wabi-sabi impression.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Compared with nothingness, wabi-sabi leaves the purest impression in space. The function is clear at a glance, the facade is not overly decorated, the cabinetry is not complicated, and there is a clear theme in each area. Everywhere one looks, there is a unique beauty, and one can enjoy the quiet beauty of the space away from the hustle and bustle.
