Invisible Shadow is a residential interior design for a newly completed house of 148.7 square meters in Taiwan. The theme is grand and modern. A large piece of marble forms the television wall and acts as the centerpiece of the public area. Gray, black and white are applied through special coating, system panels and mirrors to outline rectangular color blocks. Natural light from light-adjusting blinds echoes the wooden couch. An open layout connects the kitchen, dining room and living room to enlarge the long and narrow floor.

- Unique Properties
- The style of this project is the 'grand and modern' style preferred by the client. To put the imagination of both into practice in the living space, the designer used gray, black, and white to outline the rectangular color lumps. In addition, special paints and leather textures are used to emphasize the nature of the stone. Finally, the natural light from the light-adjusting blinds echoes the wooden couch. Furthermore, in response to the narrow layout of the dining, kitchen, and living room on the second floor, the designer adopts an open layout to enlarge the space.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- This project is a 148.7 square meter newly completed house. The theme of 'grand and modern' is prominent in the public area. For this reason, the designer used stone texture, iron shelves, and a solid wood grille for decoration. As for the private area, the style tends to be modern and casual, considering the users' needs for rest and sleep. The intermittent color flash echoes the design of the public area. The leather and brushed metal system panels soften the impression of stone in the public area, creating a quiet space for rest.

- Production Technology
- Material, marble, system board, special coating, metal parts, and solid wood grille. To emphasize the 'grand' atmosphere expected by the client, the designer used a large piece of marble as the TV wall. The stone is the centerpiece of the venue, while gray, black, and white are used for the special paint, system panel, and mirror to soften the dazzling elements and highlight the texture of the marble.
- Design Challenge
- To deal with the disadvantage of the long and narrow space, the designer used an open layout to connect the kitchen, dining room, and living room. And to make the three different areas present a consistent atmosphere, the designer unified the color tone of the space, using gray, black, and white brought by marble, special paint, mirrors, and leather system panels throughout the place. In addition, irregular rectangular color lumps and lines are used to present the visual depth and reshape the space.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in February 2022 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- When the space intuitively presents the aesthetics, the traffic flow also draws people closer. In the design of the public area, the designer blurred the visual boundaries between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The homeowner can taste the food in the living room, the children can do their homework in the dining room, and the family can interact with each other.
- Research
- The designer used a large piece of marble to create the impression of a 'grand', and then extends and set off the theme with a special coating to enrich the visual depth. In addition to the low saturation colors of gray, black, and white, the design also repeatedly uses mirrors, system panels, and wood grilles to outline rectangular color lumps and smooth lines. This design technique is not only repeated on the facade but also on the metal lines and lights on the ceiling. As for the private area, the exquisite design is reduced to the impression of minimalism.
- Inspiration
- Through the interweaving of rectangular color lumps and the harmonious and orderly combination of different materials, the designer set off the natural texture of marble and finally interpreted the modern and grand style. To echo the modern and grand impression of the space, the designer used a large piece of marble in the public area to display a majestic and smooth texture. The straight lines and low saturation coatings are used to soften the cold and sharp edge of the stone and create a modern atmosphere.
