Production Technology
The design are constructed all indoor walls with a clear water mold coating trowel and used a waterproof wood floor to match, which has both skin affinity and livable temperature. The chose of the dining table are made of imitation stone system board that is aesthetic, practical, and easy to clean.
Design Challenge
The enlarged bathroom has re-built brick wall compartments and strictly waterproofing throughout the area. The classic barn door was installed at the entrance to skillfully transfer the embarrassment of the moving line opening close to the kitchen area. The bathroom was adopted into three-pieces and the instantaneous water heater was placed above the ceiling to actively strive for the optimal utilization of floor efficiency.
Research
The design avoided hard partitioning or adding more screens to the entryway area to naturally include into the public domain. In addition, light media such as glass sliding doors and shading curtains are used on both sides to replace the solid wall.
Inspiration
Because of the limited space, the design avoided excessive redundant or complex line stacking and pure decorative modeling as far as possible. The outline color between the ceiling, ground, and the wall is mainly composed of introverted and low-key dark and light grayscale and light wood color. While reserving the broader field, also maintained the flexibility of replacing furniture software in the future.
Project Duration
The project finished in Jan. 2021 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The whole area is roughly open. And even if the glass door closing, vision, light, and shadow can penetrate. Although the kitchen counter area is small, the cooking functions are pretty complete.

The ceiling was not seal with common flat nails, but instead sprayed the whole zone with a black coating to create a sense of rising height.
