Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This is a residence that redefines open living by balancing visual flow with clear zoning. Its advantage is the strategic use of dual circulation paths in multiple areas, which breaks traditional single route layouts and makes movement more intuitive and engaging. The design also utilizes diverse materials such as wave pattern stone and herringbone wood flooring to create a rich yet cohesive spatial language. This approach maximizes space and enhances the family's daily interactions.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a 304 sqm residence.

Production Technology: The design employs a strategic approach to layout and materials. The living and dining areas are naturally divided by a shift in floor materials while maintaining visual transparency. The living room's main wall uses CNC processed wave pattern stone to create a continuous, layered focal point without visible seams. The ceiling is outlined with a special golden paint and curved lines. In the master bedroom, the bed wall was repositioned and given a curve to create a sense of psychological enclosure, while incorporating a dual path design for improved flow.
Design Challenge: A key challenge was to design a large, open layout that feels unified yet clearly zoned for different functions. This was addressed by using subtle material transitions on the floor and walls to define areas without requiring physical partitions. Another challenge was managing the strong western sun exposure, which was solved with a multi layered strategy of UV protection and an efficient, concealed air conditioning system.
Research: The project's engineering is defined by its focus on practical solutions for large spaces. To address the strong afternoon sun, the design incorporates UV resistant curtains and heat insulating window film. The concealed air conditioning system in the ceiling uses natural airflow principles for efficient cooling. The selection of high scrub resistance wall fabric ensures easy maintenance and durability in high traffic areas. These engineering choices, combined with sustainable materials like recycled Italian stone, result in a home that is both easy to maintain and environmentally responsible.
Inspiration: The design was motivated by the desire to create a home that is both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing for a family of four. The core idea was to transform a raw unit by using an open layout and dual circulation paths to enhance spatial efficiency and user experience. The design draws inspiration from the materials themselves, using their textures and unique properties to create distinct zones and a layered, flowing aesthetic that elevates daily living.
Project Duration: The project started in 2023 and finished in December 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The dual circulation path is the core interactive element, allowing users to choose their route through multiple entry and exit points, which adds a sense of choice and exploration to daily movement. The open layout connects the living room, dining area, and bar into a single fluid space for family and guests. An integrated voice controlled smart home system allows for easy adjustments to lighting and climate, enhancing the home's adaptability and user comfort.
