About Cave Residential House
Cave is a residential interior design for a home of 152 square meters in Tainan City, Taiwan. The layout follows the owners' lifestyle and their interest in flower arrangement, wine tasting and art. Curved walls and arcs replace square rooms, and extensive paint in gray shades links the flowing lines. Diffused light gives the calm feeling of exploring a cave. Natural teak and other woodwork add warmth to the furniture and corridors. A tea room with a shoji door and rush tatami occupies the most secluded corner. The result is a quiet setting for relaxation and creativity.
About Lucia Yao and Vader Wu
We founded Stable DaDa in 2018, with one of the co-founders majoring in Fashion Design, and the other in Visual Communication Design. Later, we discovered a strong passion for the field of interior design and architecture. In our daily lives, we often find ourselves thinking, “What would I want my house to look like?” and “How can we improve this design?” When looking at a space, we contemplate what kind of ambiance we’d like to create. Through continuous research, observation, and imagination, our minds are filled with countless ideas about space. One day, I said to my husband, “Enough! Having so many ideas and not being able to bring them to life is frustrating.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Instead of a typical layout, the house is designed and tailored based on the house owners' lifestyle and aesthetics. A unique home is created by bringing flower arrangements, wine tasting, and art to life. Without the constraints of a square frame, the coatings, arcs, curves, and halos add a gallery-like serenity. By surrounding oneself with artworks, a space that promotes relaxation and creativity is created.
- Inspiration
- A cave is the most primitive human architecture. To return to the essence, extensive paint in gray shades connects the flowing and winding curves. The design tries to give residents the feeling of exploring a cave. The diffused light creates an intangible connection in the subdued environment. To bring warmth and simplicity to the space, modest woodworks decorate the furniture pieces and corridors. The meditative tea room is bathed in "shadows" and "serene". Shoji door softly filters light into space, reflecting the beauty subtly and implicitly in the antique furnishings.
- Research
- The base of the kitchen island is covered with paint and metal-like materials. Along with the above metal pendants, these materials create contrasts aesthetically. A wall divides the public and private spheres. Behind the pair of double doors is the wonderland for the houseowners. Wood and rattan furniture pieces embody the elegant aesthetics of "less is more". Without decorative materials, the extensive paint in the bedroom creates a tranquil atmosphere, bringing purity back to life.
- Challenge
- A tea room is located in the most secluded corner of the house, bringing in the spirit of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. A whole new look is created by incorporating shoji door, tatami, transom, head jamb, etc. With a fresh mind, a journey of self-reflection is initiated by turning to the authentic textures that emphasize the inner nature.
- Realization and Technology
- Natural teak, stainless steel titanium-plated metal, iron parts, Changhong glass, paradise, super wear-resistant wooden floor, Japanese spruce solid wood, Malaysian teak, natural rush tatami, coral soil, far infrared solid wood floor
- Operation and Interaction
- Upon opening the door, a three-dimensional circular vista is carved out in the painted wall. The faint light accentuates the hostess's flower arrangements, and gradually relaxes the mind in a less saturated environment. The curved surface guides the traffic flow, blurring the fields through the invisible borders as well as extending the vision. In the public space, the 3-meter long table in the center offers multiple functions. It is the perfect place for the homeowner to entertain guests. The neighboring couch continues the curved shape. Above it is a ripple-like circle. It echoes the circle image and also serves as a scent diffuser, creating the best experiences for all the senses.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project is finished in January 2023 in Tainan City, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- In the space of 152 square meters, there are an entrance, one living room, one dining room, one kitchen, one bedrooms, one tea room and three bathrooms.
