Ink Moon is a residential interior in Taipei, Taiwan, covering about 110 square meters. The palette of black, gray, and white recalls the soft gradations of traditional ink wash painting. Stone-textured panels, matte and titanium-plated metals, and indirect lighting keep the dark space softly luminous. The entryway holds a screen cabinet that combines a visual focal point with storage. Hexagonal floor tiles mark the transition between areas, and a dark wood ceiling anchors the living room. A curved display unit behind the sofa softens the heavy materials.

Production Technology
The entryway is beautifully designed with a screen cabinet that serves as an inviting transitional focal point, seamlessly blending visual interest with practical storage. This space is enhanced by a striking arrangement of stone-textured panels and elegantly curved metal elements, which together create a delightful balance between privacy and openness.
Design Challenge
Notably, this artistic element resonates with the symbolism of the full moon, embodying a sense of satisfaction and harmony. As such, it emerges as the most compelling focal point in the entire space, capturing attention and enhancing the overall ambiance.
Project Duration
The project was finalized in August, 2025, in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
Moreover, the floor is adorned with sophisticated hexagonal tiles in shades of black, white, and gray, which not only add depth to the aesthetic but also clearly delineate the transition between the interior and exterior spaces. As they move into the living room, visitors find a dark wood ceiling that acts as a stunning visual anchor, drawing the eye upward and adding warmth to the environment.
Research
Furthermore, the display storage unit positioned behind the sofa is crafted from rich dark stone and complemented by titanium plated metal, featuring gracefully curved openings. This design choice introduces soft lines that contrast beautifully with the substantial materials, alleviating the bulkiness often associated with heavy structures.
Inspiration
This residential project draws its inspiration from the profound depth of ink and the ethereal glow of moonlight found in Eastern aesthetics. By thoughtfully calibrating light within rich, dark materials, the design effectively addresses the fundamental need for stability and rhythm in urban living environments.
