Ka whakamahia te papa rakau ngāwari (plywood) hei hanga i ngā piko māeneene. Ko ngā wāhi rokiroki kua whakaurua e pupuri ana i ngā wāhi noho tahi kia tuwhera tonu, ā, ko te tae kāore i tino kaha e tautoko ana i tētahi āhuatanga marino, ngāwari hoki.

Production Technology: The design employs a multi-phase process combining conceptual development, precise material selection, and advanced woodworking techniques. Flexible plywood is used to create smooth curves, suede-textured paint enhances light diffusion, and handcrafted rattan elements add warmth. These techniques ensure a harmonious yet technically refined space.
Design Challenge: Transforming structural constraints such as protruding beams into design elements was a major challenge. Internally, reconciling historical context with modern minimalism required rethinking spatial relationships. Externally, production limitations and material availability demanded innovative craftsmanship, ultimately unifying the space into a refined and harmonious environment.
Inspiration: Inspired by the home's exceptional ceiling height, natural light, and scenic surroundings, Stay Gold celebrates unadorned living. By stripping away excess, the design reveals the space's intrinsic beauty, using organic textures, fluid curves, and a minimalist palette to craft a serene and reflective atmosphere.
Project Duration: The project began in June 2023 in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and was completed in September 2023. The design and planning phase lasted three months, followed by a four-month construction period. Located in the Zhonglu district, the residence embodies a refined urban retreat, balancing contemporary elegance with timeless warmth.
Operation Flow: Stay Gold invites effortless interaction, guiding movement through gentle curves and natural light. The design transforms daily transitions into engaging experiences, balancing communal openness with intimate private zones. Key moments like entering the foyer or gathering in the living area create a fluid journey that enhances comfort and connectivity.
