Ink and Ivory Harmony is a residential interior design of about 73 square meters in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The layout was changed from four bedrooms into three bedrooms to give each area more space. The gaming room was combined with the collection room, and the worship room was merged with the multifunctional room. The plan is prepared for present and future needs, as the home may later be shared with family members. The design draws on the game of Go, with black and white tones and a curved chandelier above the central island.
