Behind the Design

Unique Properties: A dark toned foyer offers a moment of releasing stress upon returning home, while the combination of mirror and glass cabinetry alleviate the sense of confinement. As the sightline follows the trace of the illuminated wall band, a sense of spaciousness is disclosed. The glass curtain wall along the building’s exterior conjoins various living corners, offering abundant daylight.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 148.5 square meter.
Tags: Marbles, brass, walnut, glass, modern, contemporary aesthetics
Production Technology: Spanning the main wall, soft matte beige Italian marble establishes a calm and composed backdrop through its refined cutting details. White curtain sheers diffuse harsh sunlight, soften the glare, and suffuse an undertone of relaxation and tranquility. When lighting meets colors and materials at the right balance, the space reveals a rhythmic sequence of movement and stillness, shadow and light, resonating a warm and artful lifestyle of a family of four.
Design Challenge: Catering to the needs and the independence of growing children, each personal space is cohesively integrated yet distinct from each other, expressing their individual character through daily life.
Research: Probe to a deeper dialogue between materials and color: a brown leather sofa paired with a walnut bookshelf forms the wife’s cozy reading corner. Whereas a charcoal-toned armchair for the husband complements the dark stone steps, which leads to a private retreat hidden behind the stone wall, unfolding alongside the deepening rhythm of the materials.
Inspiration: Aesthetics is an objective discipline, but its appreciation greatly varies across generations and perspectives. This project explores the overarching nature of aesthetics: how a family of four, each with distinct preferences and interests, can share a space that is shaped through subtle details, balanced atmospheres, and emotional resonance. Inspired by the warm simplicity of the homeowners’ art collection, the design investigates the connection between the occupants and the living space, particularly through the color and light.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2025 in Xitun District, Taichung city.
Operation Flow: Alongside the side wall, where a row of dark cabinetry subtly defines the spatial boundaries, and glass cabinet doors reflect fragments of daily life, a series of circle metallic pendants centers the dining area as the heart of the space. Contrasting to the minimal elegance of the main wall, the dining tabletop’s marble veins bloomingly spread out, layering texture and visuality, forming a material interplay composed of multidimensional relationships, rather than a singular combination.
