Mure Et Musc is an apartment interior design completed in Taiwan. The 92.5 square meter home contains three rooms, a living room, a dining room and two bathrooms. The layout was altered to join the dining and piano areas into one multi-functional space, while a room partition was removed to create storage. A wide entrance adds further storage capacity. The television wall is finished with pore-textured diatomaceous earth. Crossroad brick tiles, wood veneer and glass soften the dark industrial palette, and RGB lighting adds depth.

- Unique Properties
- The expansive entrance enhances storage functionality while setting a dynamic tone for the space. A large TV wall, covered in pore-textured diatomaceous earth, creates a unique visual effect as light and shadow shift. The high and low ceiling design, along with RGB lighting, adds depth and vitality to the entrance. Dark base colors reflect the owner's strong, individualistic personality, while crossroad brick reflections and the warmth of diatomaceous earth provide texture. Wood veneer and glass further enrich the industrial style, softening the overall atmosphere.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The 92.5 square meter apartment has 3 rooms, a living room, a dining room, and 2 bathrooms. The designer made significant and extensive changes. The main changes included removing a room's partition and converting it into a storage space to better accommodate the number of occupants. The dining room and piano area were enlarged to become one multi-functional area. The foyer's organizer was also extended to increase storage capacity. The designers achieved the perfect balance between open plan and practical living.

- Production Technology
- Diatomaceous earth, crossroad bricks, wood veneer, and glass create unique textures and styles. The color scheme is a subtle transition of blacks, grays, and light colors. The pure colors come from the natural tones of the materials themselves. The black is presented by the ironwork and railway tiles. The gray is softly transitioned through diatomaceous earth. The lighter colors are brightened by glass and wood-grained flooring. This layering keeps the aesthetic of the space simple and refined.
- Design Challenge
- The designer faced the challenge of balancing aesthetics, and functionality and maintaining good neighborly relations before the owner moved in. During construction, the noise and movement were inevitable, potentially drawing attention from surrounding residents. To avoid negative perceptions, the designer ensured all construction activities were legal and compliant. Additionally, open communication with neighbors was key, clearly outlining the construction schedule and scope to prevent misunderstandings and maintain positive relationships with the community.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in March 2024 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The color palette and style of this well-designed space perfectly reflect the personality of the occupant. The dark color palette with RGB lighting enriches the layer and creates an unforgettable impression. Adequate storage allows the occupant to have numerous items without feeling overwhelmed, ensuring practicality and aesthetics. Overall, the design meets the aesthetic needs of the occupant and fulfills her functional needs in daily life.
- Research
- The 'Mure Et Musc' project blends strength with softness, inspired by the female owner's love for industrial style. She sought a deep, cold industrial aesthetic while desiring warmth and comfort in her home. The designer expertly integrated her bold personality with warm colors, balancing hard industrial elements. Diatomaceous earth adds natural texture, enhancing style and practicality. The spacious entrance enhances storage, while RGB lighting creates dynamic layers of light and shadow. Crossroad brick tiles, wood veneer, and glass reflect the owner's warm, introverted qualities.
- Inspiration

The project incorporates the owner's strong personality and unique taste. Warm colors balance the cold industrial elements, and then diatomaceous earth is introduced to create a stylish and practical living space. Hardness and softness are interwoven to create a unique and sophisticated living scene.
