Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: This design deconstructs a 5 story layout to create vertical transitions and horizontal continuity. By utilizing mirrors, lighting, and landscape stone, fragmented areas are composed into a ritualized entry sequence. The public zone employs a dual wall strategy with a screen and television to refine functionality, while folding doors soften boundaries to extend interaction onto the terrace. Sunken seating and a lounge bar create a seamless indoor outdoor experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a 324 sqm townhouse.

Production Technology: The design team establishes an earth toned palette as the visual axis, using material narration to articulate spatial rhythm. On the first floor, mirrored surfaces in the entry foyer counterbalance the compressive effect of the existing black tiles in the garage, while imported lighting enhances the artistic layering of the space. The stairwell employs splashed ink landscape stone with deep texture to guide vertical circulation.
Design Challenge: In terms of lighting, scene based presets are configured for different situations, allowing required lighting conditions to be activated with a single touch. Automated settings are also introduced for heat insulating curtains, enabling the smart system to respond to outdoor daylight conditions and allowing occupants to enjoy a comfortable indoor environment with ease.
Research: In response to the sensory and physiological needs of a three-generation household, the design emphasizes an inclusive residential experience across all age groups. Clear circulation paths are planned throughout the home to ensure that elderly family members can enjoy equal and safe living conditions within an accommodating environment, while children are provided with spaces that support both exploration and privacy as they grow.
Inspiration: The design begins with reshaping the fundamental dialogue between the residents and the space. Moving away from the framework of a show house, the everyday habits of a three generation family are translated into spatial language, creating a soulful home that responds closely to the needs of each family member.
Project Duration: The project finished in 2025 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The residence features a vertical functional hierarchy. The first two floors merge indoor and outdoor spaces for social interaction through a flexible dual media living room and an integrated kitchen dining layout. The third and fourth floors house private suites including a palette defined master bedroom, personalized children rooms, and an accessible senior suite by the elevator. The top floor serves as a versatile fitness and social hub.
