About Ink Black Lightness Residence
Ink Black Lightness is a residential interior design in Taichung, Taiwan. The 230 square meter home uses an ink-black color tone that extends across the wooden walls and forms a calm panoramic view. Interior divisions were removed to create an open public area that links the living room, dining room and kitchen. Vertical black cabinets store devices and keep the area organized. A curved ceiling softens the height difference caused by a beam. Senna siamea, Portuguese cork and blue and white porcelain marble give the space an elegant character.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The glance over. Submerging in the space of the shades of ink-black color hue, one sees the color tone extending to the ink-black-wood walls, hence forms the poetic and artistic panoramic view of the space. While decreasing the lightness of the space, dark-color main vision dominates the space visually. With diverse and subtle decoration, the design brings about a sense of elegance mixing with slight luxury.
- Inspiration
- The designer explores the internal and external conditions of this design project, responds to the real needs of the occupants, emphasizes the integrity of structure and form, and aesthetics, and pursues the texture of materials and furniture. The designer expects to create a work embellished with contemporary spirit through the use of exquisite materials and authentic construction methods.
- Research
- Echoing the contemporary aesthetics, while the designer demolishes each of the individual divisions in the space, the design forms the sense of openness of the public area. Deliberately, massing is used to define the circulation of the interior space, keeping an undefined flow in the space to allow spatial penetrating and creating a narrative interaction.
- Challenge
- Technically and aesthetically, the beam on the ceiling is a design challenge to overcome. The curved angle of the ceiling connecting to that of the dining area not only smoothes out the height difference of the beam but also demolishes the sense of oppression. Secondly, a neat open area becomes a challenge when conceptualizing a free space incorporating the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The solution is the vertical black cabinets that can classify all devices, making the area organized.
- Realization and Technology
- The project uses special materials such as Senna Siamea, Portuguese Corkwood, and Blue and White Porcelain Marble to give a elegant vibe to the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- This is a residential project in Taichung, Taiwan. The creation involved numerous interview and communication to generate the elegant and contemporary style.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in Feb. 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- Project Dimensions: 230 square meters. Materials: Senna siamea, Portuguese Organic Cork, Blue and white porcelain marble,
- Keywords
- contemporary, lighting design, elegance, simplicity, panoramic view, the shades of ink-black color, the sense of openness, the dark wooden back wall, intense shades and lights, subtle decoration.
