About Vessel of Time 住宅インテリアデザイン
「Vessel of Time（時の器）」は、ピアニストとその3人家族のために手がけた住宅インテリアデザインです。台湾に位置し、延床面積は約231平方メートル。木を纏った玄関は、都市と住まいの内部をやわらかくつなぐ境界となります。背の高いフルート（縦溝）ガラスの扉とシアーカーテンが、日光を穏やかに濾して居住空間へと導きます。ピアノは共有の中心となるコアに据えられ、音楽と読書、そして語らいが交わる場となります。淡い色味の木材、ミネラル調のテクスチャー、刷毛跡を残した特殊塗装が、落ち着いた低彩度の空間を形づくります。オープンプランが各リビングエリアをつなぎ、ゆるやかに流れる日常の時間を支えます。

- Unique Properties
- This project takes time and sound as its spatial genesis, that employs simple materials and the shifting interplay of light and shadow to cultivate a sense of tranquility throughout the space. As time passes, it brings a gentler understanding and deeper appreciation of life. The intention is to create a home that is warm, profound, and elegant—one that encourages a slower, more reflective pace of living. The spatial narrative unfolds through openness, release, and serenity. Under soft, diffused light, the interior immerses itself in gradual transitions, portraying a quiet theater of life where reality and romance subtly intertwine.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The office interior spaces measures about 231 square meters.

- Production Technology
- The design incorporates special paint with brush marks to complement the layers of wood tones, balancing the intensity of the space with structure and color. In this low-saturation ambiance, the colors of life become richer and more vivid, allowing for the delicate appreciation of every moving moment. As time changes, the warmth of light and shadow deepens, and the space immerses in the gradual transitions under soft light, portraying a life theater where reality and romance blend.
- Design Challenge
- Real company is not doing the same thing in the same space, but rather, for this family of three, it means setting up the context through which each can fulfill their own private and shared needs in different corners. Re-spacing is the game-changing idea, as it is all about having fun, creating a new lifestyle for the family to build familial relationships anew.
- Research
- Upon returning home, one enters a wood-wrapped foyer where the city’s noise gently fades. At the center of the living room, the piano is integrated rather than isolated, its music blending with reading, conversation, and shared meals. Light moves softly across timber surfaces from morning to evening, filtered through sheer curtains that create a calm, breathable atmosphere.
Circulation becomes part of daily life instead of a corridor, allowing pauses between music and books. An once-empty bookshelf gradually fills, marking the family’s growth. With light timber and mineral textures as a quiet backdrop, the home lets life, light, and sound take the lead—becoming a vessel shaped by time and memory. - Inspiration
- The aim is for home to be a source of tranquility, providing a refuge from the relentless pace of urban life. The design advocates for an open-plan layout where living areas are interconnected, promoting harmony between spaces and encouraging a sense of freedom and flow within the family. This makes it an ideal place for a modern lifestyle.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2020 and finished in February 2021 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Designed for a pianist and a family of three, this home is defined by light-toned timber and a quiet architectural language. A wood-lined foyer forms a gentle threshold from city to interior, leading to tall fluted glass doors that softly filter daylight into the living space.
The music and living areas share a central core where piano, conversation, and daily rituals converge. Expansive windows and sheer curtains shape the atmosphere through shifting light, while subtle ceiling shifts and axial walls guide the transition from public to private. Rooted in a Wabi-Sabi sensibility, the design embraces simplicity, light, and the passage of time. - Team Members
