Unique Properties: In this six story standalone house, the first floor serves as a communal area for bonding and hosting guests, while the second to fourth floors include private bedrooms, offering tranquility. The fifth floor houses an audiovisual room paired with a bar, while the sixth floor is dedicated to a home office. The strategic allocation of vertical space and the creation of a seamless flow not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home but also its livability. The layout separates social and quiet areas, enhancing privacy and comfort. Soft colors create a neutral and serene base. Beyond mere illumination, natural light serves to highlight the natural textures and materials present in the decor, including wood and stone. Its interplay of light and shadow adds depth and visual intrigue to the environment, enhancing its overall appeal. Subtle metal details and reflective surfaces add layers of sophistication, contributing to a design that is both elegant and luxurious.
Dimensions & Packaging: In a 224 square meters space, there is a living room, dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms, and an audiovisual room paired with a bar.

Design Challenge: The serene gray palette extends into the bedroom, where refined paint textures and warm wood hues create a comfortable and relaxing retreat. Gray-tinted mirrors soften the presence of the low beams, reducing their visual weight while adding depth and dimension to the space. In the audiovisual room, expansive coated surfaces create a grounded and immersive atmosphere. LED strip lights guide the eye and introduce a sense of movement. Twinkling lights resemble countless stars scattered across the night sky, imbuing the quiet space with a rich and evocative ambiance.
Research: To realize the homeowner’s longing for a connection with nature, wood and stone textures form the foundation, exuding a sense of tranquility. Metal and mirrored surfaces not only reflect light but also create visual interest and dimension. In the communal area, breathing space between pieces can create a sense of openness and calm. Soft, curved edges enhance this serene ambiance, evoking a relaxed sense of sophistication. The area beneath the staircase and the semi-height TV wall are designed with restraint, allowing the space to breathe while maintaining an understated elegance.
Inspiration: Drawing inspiration from the interplay of light, shadow, and materials, the design artfully balances functionality with a sense of humanistic warmth. Through the interplay of contrasting materials and the layering of gentle curves, the design establishes a harmonious foundation. The use of consistent patterns and linear elements creates a sense of flow. Here, the home transcends its role as a mere living space — it becomes a true reflection of the lifestyle and dreams.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2024 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: To alleviate visual stress, lighten structural presence, and create symmetry, the interior strikes a delicate balance between openness and enclosure. The result is a spatial composition that is grand yet nuanced. The ceiling features interwoven grilles forming wave-like patterns, subtly delineating the living and dining areas while maintaining visual openness and continuity. A floating staircase, illuminated by LED strip lights, reduces the visual weight of the structure, lending an air of lightness and refined minimalism. The staircases inside and outside the house mirror each other in a symmetrical composition, revealing a hidden sense of order. The half-height TV wall and the extension of materials create a seamless visual flow, enhancing the overall coherence of the space.
