About Ink and Ivory Harmony Hoahoa o Roto mo te Whare Noho

Ko te Ink and Ivory Harmony he hoahoa o roto mo tetahi whare noho, tata ki te 73 mita tapawha te rahi, kei New Taipei City, Taiwan. I whakarerekehia te whakatakotoranga mai i te wha ruma moe ki te toru ruma moe, kia nui ake ai te waahi mo ia waahanga. I honoa te ruma takaro ki te ruma kohinga, a, i honoa hoki te ruma karakia ki te ruma whakamahi-maha. Kua whakaritea te mahere mo nga hiahia o naianei me apopo, na te mea tera pea ka noho tahi te whare me nga mema o te whanau i nga ra kei mua. Ka whakaputaina te hoahoa i runga i te takaro Go, me nga tae pango me te ma, me tetahi rama tautohetohe e piko ana kei runga ake i te motu waenganui.

Unique Properties: The project aims to create a design that can accommodate both the current and future needs of the house. Although the owner is the sole occupant at present, the house may be used by partners and family members in the future. To make the space more flexible, the original four bedroom layout was reconfigured into a three bedroom layout, providing more space in each area. The gaming room was combined with the collection room, the worship room was merged with the multifunctional room.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is about 73 square meters.

Production Technology: The master bedroom was designed with dark colors as the focal point. The gray base with dark wood grain not only added depth to the visual space, but also created a comfortable and stable atmosphere for the residents to rest.
Design Challenge: In the combined gaming and collection room, RGB lights were used as the foundation to create a magical gaming atmosphere. Recessed lights with natural light sources were utilized as lighting fixtures in the display cabinets to highlight the colors of the GK figurines, turning them into colorful wall decorations.
Research: The foyer was designed to address the feng shui issues of a narrow space and the through the door brake. The team utilized a skeleton design to reduce the pressure and sense of closure in the space. Additionally, long rainbow glass was used to avoid the feng shui concern of looking directly into the living room upon entering. Mirrors were also placed on the sidewalls to create a broader feeling of space. Various design techniques and material elements were incorporated to add depth to the area.
Inspiration: The design of this project draws inspiration from the rich symbolism and aesthetics of the game of Go, which holds special significance for the owner. The layout takes cues from the points, lines, and surfaces of the Go board, while the dominant color palette reflects the iconic black and white tones of the game. The stunning curved chandelier suspended above the central island serves as a powerful symbol, representing the aspiration to be a dragon in the game of Go and conveying well wishes.
Project Duration: The project was completed in New Taipei City, Taiwan, in October 2024.
Operation Flow: The stunning curved chandelier suspended above the central island serves as a powerful symbol, representing the aspiration to be a dragon in the game of Go and conveying well wishes for the owner's success in both the game and his career.
