Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project embraces 'togetherness,' blending American-style design for a family of four. A hanging chair in the living room creates a cozy nook for elders and children. A round dining table symbolizes unity, inviting gatherings. The couch area connects with dining, forming a social, open space. Large tiles anchor the design, while metallic accents and black-and-white details add modern refinement. Blue, gray, and wood tones soften the classic American style with a fresh rhythm.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 158.6 sqm duplex centers its social areas on the first floor, where the living room, dining room, kitchen, and a co-reading area converted from a guest room form an open, cohesive space. The rear balcony's tall windows allow abundant sunlight to fill the main gathering zones, enhancing comfort and brightness. Upstairs, the master bedroom, secondary bedroom, and study provide private retreats while maintaining the bright, harmonious atmosphere established downstairs.

Production Technology: The color scheme centers on blue, paired with ICI white walls for a clean, contrasting backdrop. Large tiles and stone provide a solid base, while warm custom solid wood furniture adds inviting texture. Select trims highlight American design, and a leather sofa brings warmth and refinement. This thoughtful mix of materials balances bold eclecticism with a soft, welcoming home atmosphere, letting the family's genuine emotions flow naturally throughout the space.
Design Challenge: A major challenge was convincing the client to embrace vibrant colors and large tiles, such as bold blue in the entryway, carpet, and kitchen. This required careful balance and patient communication to ensure harmony and client confidence. Integrating elements like the hanging chair, round table, and couch into the American-inspired design also needed to address elders and children safely. Guided by the concept of 'togetherness,' the designer crafted a diverse, authentic living experience for the family.
Research: 'Home Quartet' is a duplex inspired by the family's desire for togetherness, addressing care for elders and children. Boldly using blue as the main color, it refreshes Taiwanese home design. Rooted in American style, it features a hanging chair for elders and kids, a round dining table symbolizing family warmth, and an open couch area for natural interaction. Blue contrasts with white walls, large tiles, warm wood furniture, and a leather sofa for a cozy, refined space.
Inspiration: This duplex home was inspired by a family of four's desire for closeness while meeting the needs of a sandwich generation caring for both children and elders. Breaking from typical Taiwanese palettes, the designer boldly used blue as the main color. The space prioritizes interaction and flexibility, offering multifunctional zones that transcend a single style. With thoughtful layout and color play, the design turns daily life into a warm, inclusive, and visually captivating experience.
Project Duration: The project finished in June 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The round table and adjacent couch naturally draw family and friends together, creating a warm, unified space filled with laughter. The rattan hanging chair by the window is a favorite for children's play and offers elders a commanding view, blending playfulness with comfort. The homeowner praised the flexible layout, which dissolves traditional separations of the duplex, allowing elder visits and children's activities to flow freely in an atmosphere of genuine togetherness.
