Behind the Design

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

Unique Properties: The design emphasizes escape from hustle. The second-floor living room, with full-height windows framing riverside greenery, serves as the visual core. A curved sofa allows flexible seating for conversation and viewing. Glass sliding doors ensure transparency and energy efficiency. Sliding panels conceal the TV, electrical box, and storage, maintaining visual coherence. The mezzanine features a flowing curved ceiling, while a built-in daybed at the entrance creates a transitional lounge, linking dining and living areas and defining three social zones.
Dimensions & Packaging: The residence measures 158.6 square meters across four floors, with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and three bathrooms. While the overall layout was retained, the focus lies on the second-floor social area, integrating functions near the staircase and elevator. The master suite uses sliding doors for privacy-allowing the entire floor to function as an independent, secure retreat when needed. Circulation alternates between openness and concealment, achieving the ideal balance of flexibility and privacy.

Production Technology: The project adopts a warm, earthy palette composed of wood veneer, textile-textured system panels, and low-saturation coatings to create gentle gradation. Large stone surfaces were deliberately avoided to keep the focus on light and curvature. The television wall remains intentionally minimal, serving as a pure white canvas when the sliding panels are closed. Small metal accents and glass doors subtly reflect outdoor greenery, extending visual depth and producing an atmosphere that feels light, elegant, and understated.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge stemmed from immovable structural and mechanical elements, including the electrical box, plumbing, and developer-installed fixtures. If enclosed individually, these elements would have appeared fragmented: therefore, the team replaced the handrail with large sliding doors that visually unify the stair boundary while maintaining full access. Additionally, because the property was originally a show unit, the ceiling could not be fully enclosed. This required repeated calibration between fire safety, structure, and detailing to ensure the curved ceiling.
Research: The design embodies 'stay away from hustle,' using framed scenes where walls and doorways become daily poetry. The second-floor living room captures riverside views through full-height glazing: glass partitions maintain openness while reducing cooling load. Concealed TV doors restore simplicity. Double sliding panels integrate storage and electrical boxes. Wave-like ceilings echo wind and water, expanding rhythm, while the entrance daybed offers a calm pause between movement and stillness.
Inspiration: Located near a riverside, this four-story, 158.6 m2 villa-style show home embodies 'serenity within the city.' Greenery and the flowing rhythm of water are brought indoors, with curved ceilings echoing natural contours. Light and movement ascend through the floors, creating subtle French-inspired romance. Without major structural changes, layered materials and lines cultivate a space that balances livability with contemplative aesthetic appreciation.
Project Duration: The project finished in April 2025 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Visitors praised the flowing curved ceiling for expanding volume and softening indoor-outdoor boundaries. Glass partitions control air-conditioning zones while maintaining openness. The hidden TV wall turns the living room into a conversational lounge focused on the framed landscape. The entrance daybed creates a relaxed receiving corner, easing transitions between entry, rest, and social interaction, enhancing daily comfort and rhythm.
