The Design

About Ebb and Flow 주거 공간 인테리어 디자인

에브 앤 플로우는 해안 미학과 도시 구조의 융합을 탐구하기 위해 설계된 주거 공간 인테리어이다. 공간 구성은 파도의 유동성을 표현하기 위해 부드러운 곡선과 층화된 소재를 채택하면서도 기능적 조닝을 유지한다. 깊은 가죽 톤, 앨라배스터 마감재, 티타늄 도금 디테일 간의 대비는 시각적 깊이와 은은한 움직임을 구현한다. 조형적 벽면과 광 반사 표면은 물의 반짝임을 연상시키도록 배치되어 환경의 몰입감을 향상시킨다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Ebb and Flow reinterprets luxury living by harmonizing maritime serenity with contemporary sophistication. The design’s fluid spatial composition mirrors the organic movement of waves, creating a seamless interplay between form, light, and materiality. Contrasting rich textures, reflective metallic accents, and sculptural forms evoke a sense of depth and motion, transforming the space into an immersive and elegantly curated living experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project spans 185 ping (approx. 611 square meters), featuring an open-plan layout that enhances spatial fluidity and natural light integration. Carefully selected materials include deep-toned leather, natural stone, and titanium-plated accents, designed to create depth and contrast. Advanced lighting calculations ensure seamless illumination transitions, while precision-crafted architectural forms enhance movement and spatial harmony.

Production Technology: The living room and master bedroom feature wall is meticulously crafted from CNC-milled solid timber, undergoing a multi-layered skim coating process with sequential hand sanding and micro-polishing to achieve an impeccably smooth matte alabaster finish. This high-precision application ensures uniformity while eliminating surface imperfections.

The dining area’s bespoke architectural paneling integrates recessed, indirect LED cove lighting, engineered through advanced photometric analysis to ensure seamless diffusion and eliminate visible light sources, achieving a sculptural interplay of form and illumination.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge was transforming fluid spatial concepts into tangible design while balancing contemporary urban aesthetics with oceanic symbolism. Internally, extensive research on architectural history and spatial dynamics was needed to refine curved forms for an immersive experience. Externally, CNC-milled wave panels required precise engineering, using 3D scanning, digital modeling, and advanced fabrication techniques to ensure seamless integration and structural integrity.
Research: This project used applied design research to explore how spatial flow and materiality affect perception in luxury living. The goal was to create a space that feels both fluid and calm. Using site analysis, case studies, and light-behavior simulations, we gathered data through 3D modeling and mock-ups. Collaborating with designers, artisans, and future residents, we developed custom prototypes, including on-site hand-applied fabric panels and titanium-plated finishes. These handcrafted elements enhanced emotional comfort and spatial depth, showing how bespoke detailing can elevate luxury and enrich the human experience in real-life environments.
Inspiration: Inspired by Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s seamless convergence of ocean and city, this design reflects the fluid rhythm of coastal landscapes while embracing the sophistication of contemporary urban living. Nestled along the edge of Kaohsiung Harbor, the space translates maritime tranquility into a refined interior experience. By integrating architectural deconstruction, layered materials, and organic movement, the design fosters a seamless dialogue between nature, light, and spatial harmony, elevating luxury living into an immersive art form.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2022 in Kaohsiung and finished in December 2023 near the Kaohsiung Harbor, where the ebb and flow of the tides meet the vibrant pulse of the city. Embraced by mountains, the sea, and the urban skyline, the residence offers a sweeping panorama that seamlessly blends the serenity of nature with the dynamic energy of modern life.
Operation Flow: Surrounded by mountains, the sea, rivers, the harbor, and the city skyline, Ebb and Flow offers a breathtaking panorama where nature and urban energy converge. Positioned in an international port city, its expansive interiors echo the fluidity of the ocean, seamlessly blending contemporary artistry with architectural form. Thoughtfully layered materials and dynamic compositions create a space that feels organic yet refined, where overlapping textures and shifting perspectives reflect the natural rhythm of the landscape.
