Home Space is a retail interior created for a home appliance brand in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The space covers a floor area of 60 square meters with a height of 2.5 meters. Smart appliances are joined by concealed interfaces, so controls appear only when they are needed. Ambient lighting responds to the time of day and to the presence of visitors. Appliances are placed to support easy reach and a clear flow of movement. Soft tones and hidden lighting form a calm atmosphere. The design keeps the technology quiet and simple to use.

- Production Technology
- 1. Seamless AI integration across appliances with intuitive UX design.
2. Ergonomic appliance placement to optimize user flow and interaction.
3. Ambient lighting mimics circadian rhythm and emotional state.
4. Concealed interfaces reduce visual fatigue and support calmness.
5. Smart zoning adjusts temperature, light, and presence sensing. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was balancing visible design with invisible technology. Users desire simplicity, but AI systems require complex integration. We had to conceal sensors, interfaces, and wiring without compromising usability. The project was located in a busy high-speed rail station, where construction could only take place at night during non-operational hours. Tight schedules and precise coordination between trades added to the complexity.
- Project Duration
- The shop opened in Feb 2025 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- This space works like a quiet assistant. Lights adjust automatically based on time and presence. Appliances turn on gently when you approach. There are no loud signals, only soft responses. The layout makes everything easy to reach, and controls appear only when needed. By hiding the tech and focusing on natural use, the space feels calm, responsive, and deeply human.
- Research
- This user-centered design research aimed to explore emotional comfort in AI-powered smart homes. Methods included user interviews, behavior mapping, and prototype testing. Tools used were digital mood boards, 3D modeling, and interaction simulations. Participants included 12 households aged 30 to 55. Results revealed a need for low-stimulus environments and invisible tech. The findings shaped a calm, intuitive living space with commercial and design impact.
- Inspiration
- The concept was born from a desire to humanize technology. While smart homes are often portrayed as gadget-heavy or cold, this design aims to create a sanctuary where technology disappears into the background, serving rather than showing. Inspiration comes from the flow of data, the softness of daily rituals, and the beauty of stillness.
