Unique Properties
The interior avoids overtly designing and sustains a strong and minimalistic identity. Probing into the science of physics, and mingling with subtraction design approaches, moderate the contradiction between austerity and extravagance, and conclude with artistic and emotional appeals. Meanwhile, the layout aims to form a consecutive dynamic rhythm, planned with artistic and pragmatic intentions, which also includes 2 separate living areas, to provide more flexibility to residents.
Dimensions & Packaging
Construction area 244 square meter.

Minimalism, moment, curvature, arc, polyline, line
Production Technology
With 244 square meter to utilize a family of three, the layout comprises a harmonious proportion of 50% shared area and 50% private rooms. Backdrops in low saturate colors without decorative cladding, the curvy and smooth continuous surfaces slither along walls and area borders, not only indicating spatial identity, but providing both aesthetic and subdivision function. Besides living and dining rooms, a sunroom adjoins the dining island continuously in minimal form, assuring each resident owns an open space to relax.
Design Challenge
Even though the free forms and organic shapes seem effortless, the executions took meticulous calculation and experienced craftsmanship to overcome every joint.
Research
Besides curvatures, the smooth arcs or curves seen from the master bed side, the polygonal curve, aka polyline, delineates the path to the walkin closet. Sharpen the angle, a sequence of line segments extends the consecutive dynamic rhythm, retaining the cohesive design language.
Inspiration
Home is the place we share moments with family. Except being the unit of time, in physics terms, moment refers to the rotational equivalent of linear force. Additionally, the curvature is the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line, or a surface deviates from being a plane. The path of moment defines the shape and explains the topology of this project spatial form, culminating with artistic and emotional appeals.
Project Duration
Completion on November 2021, Taipei city.
Operation Flow
Considering the quality of habitation, this project urges subdivided spaces in a ratio of 50% for public areas and 50% for private bedrooms. The sunroom provides sufficient living spaces, assuring that every family member has an open space for their own, and it is intentionally left as a void space for multiple activities.
