About Gather Desain Interior Hunian

Area sosial menempati lantai pertama, sementara suite privat mengisi lantai-lantai atas. Dinding batu setinggi tujuh meter menjadi elemen utama ruang keluarga berplafon ganda. Pita lampu plafon melengkung menghubungkan area keluarga dan ruang makan, sedangkan lampu gantung berbentuk daun ginkgo menandai meja makan. Batu alam dengan urat berwarna biru kehijauan menjadi material utama, dilembutkan oleh panel venir kayu dan furnitur kayu solid. Lapisan dinding mineral asal Jepang membantu mengatur kelembapan.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The seven-meter-high living room TV wall, crafted from large-scale stone panels, anchors the social area and conveys grandeur. Double-height space extends sightlines to courtyard greenery, while curved ceiling light bands link living and dining areas for natural flow. A ginkgo-leaf chandelier symbolizes longevity and unity. Private suites reflect individual tastes yet maintain cohesion through consistent lighting, curves, and proportion, balancing unity and diversity.
Dimensions & Packaging: The five-story residence spans 1,256.2 m2 with nine suites. The first floor hosts social areas-foyer, living, dining, and tea lounge-with separate reception zones to protect family privacy. The second floor contains the primary bedrooms, including a grand master suite integrating living, sleeping, and dressing spaces. The third and fourth floors house private suites for other family members, maintaining independence while unified through coherent circulation.

Production Technology: Stone serves as the main material, with blue-green veins, crystalline striations, and marble inlay creating layered depth. Metal accents are restrained, avoiding ostentation. Walls feature Japanese mineral coatings that regulate moisture while offering subtle texture. Warmth is added through wood veneer panels and solid wood furnishings, balancing the cool precision of minerals with tactile, emotional comfort.
Design Challenge: The project faced asymmetrical structural constraints in the double-height living room, with the TV wall off-center. To resolve this, designers employed an 'offset axis' strategy, aligning the TV and main chandelier to redefine the spatial center. Asymmetrical stone inlays and adjusted cabinetry balanced the volume, turning structural limitations into a deliberate and harmonious design feature.
Research: 'Gather,' a 1,256.2 m2 residence for ten, balances collective cohesion and individual privacy. Modern minimalism blends with refined luxury across generations. A seven-meter marble feature wall anchors the social area, while curved ceilings and lighting guide interaction between living and dining spaces. Private suites are highly customized, and sustainable strategies, including glazing, setbacks, and environmental optimization, ensure adaptability and long-term livability.
Inspiration: For a ten-member extended family, the design prioritizes precision and subtle luxury over overt symbolism. Centered on the theme of 'gather,' the layout balances togetherness and privacy, with careful attention to massing, scale, and circulation. Starting from modern minimalism, refined materials and understated details create a timeless, mature aesthetic that harmonizes generational preferences while supporting natural convergence and independent movement within the shared home.
Project Duration: The project finished in 2025 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: After moving in, the homeowners described the space as 'suited for long stays.' Intuitive zoning and smooth circulation contribute significantly to comfort. Even when all family members return simultaneously, the house never feels crowded. The double-height living-dining area has become the most frequently used domain, accommodating both daily meals and festive gatherings. Abundant daylight and ventilation maintain comfort for extended periods, encouraging family members to linger and interact, an outcome most affirmed by the residents.
