Press Kit

Unique Properties

The project renovates a 30-year-old, 148.76 m2 residence in Xinzhuang for a family of four. Preserving the spirit of the client's former home, the designer reimagined its Baroque-inspired drama into understated luxury. The new design fuses the grounded textures of twilight with the glowing warmth of sunset. Named Twilight Elegance, it symbolizes the intersection of styles and organic fluidity, reflecting how a home gently adapts to and embraces the daily lives of its residents.

Dimensions & Packaging

The 148.76 m2 home was reconfigured into three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and one bathroom. At its core, a kitchen island anchors the design, linking four concealed doors to bedrooms and dressing areas to create fluid circulation. The master suite features dual-aspect lighting and a private walk-in closet, while children's spaces revolve around the island, with open areas for free movement and even indoor cycling. The result is a transparent, cohesive layout that balances social and private zones.

Production Technology

The palette is defined by neutral, cool-leaning dark tones, harmonized through carefully planned lighting to regulate mood. Materials include stone, large porcelain slabs, dark wood veneer, and artistic paint. Marble-patterned floor tiles extend a hotel-like sense of luxury, while wood veneer wraps around beams and ceilings to establish visual continuity. A consistent 3000K light temperature stabilizes the overall mood, creating layered expressions of restraint and elegance.

Design Challenge

Upon demolition, the residence required a full overhaul of wiring, voltage, and pipelines. The designer continually adapted to on-site conditions, extending the timeline and raising technical demands. Large beams cutting through the space added complexity, requiring a balance between coherence and structure. They were resolved by wrapping in wood veneer and linking to cabinetry. Though no leakage or wall damage was found, the depth of work marked the project as a technically demanding medium- to large-scale renovation.

Project Duration

The project finished in April 2024 in Taiwan.

Operation Flow

Since completion, the family of four frequently invites the designer to revisit, reflecting their satisfaction with the space. Children ride bikes and play freely indoors, even a small basketball hoop has been installed, demonstrating the generosity of space and efficiency of circulation. The island and foyer serve as the welcoming heart of the home, doubling as the family's most active social hub, whether for festive decorations or daily meals. Functionality is fully met, yet the design also maintains a distinct character, one that both parents and their children love.
