About The River is Everywhere Woonhuisinterieurontwerp
De rivier is overal is een interieurontwerp voor een appartement van 200 vierkante meter in Taipei City. Het ontwerp is geïnspireerd op de nabijgelegen rivier en het thema van een spirituele reis. Het plafond bij de entree werd omgevormd tot een vloeiende, gebogen lijn. Gelaagde openingen in de scheidingswanden van de woonkamer werpen schaduwen die doen denken aan bomen gezien vanaf een rivier. De pleisterwerkoppervlakken zijn met de hand afgewerkt om het open plan een heldere en lichte kwaliteit te geven. Een op maat gemaakte eettafel van marmer en kunststof plaat met een gebogen spiegelpoot staat centraal in de ruimte.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Creating a journey on the river for the flow of space of the owners, Upon entering a 200-square-metre apartment, its living room’s the refined textures that first impress. The ceiling of entry was remodelled to create a sleek curved line, rhythm bores applied on partition walls in the living room were elegantly layered across the space to reflect the shadow of trees, like the scene from the river.
The wooden private space, it seems like a boundary between the rivers and caves warmly exits. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- By hand-craft plaster and specialist trades, the house creates an opportunity to experience the interior as a series of surfaces and textures.
We also hoped that utilising a tactile selection of material would give the space’s open floor plan a clean, brightly quality.
Dominating the centre of space is a bespoke dining counter crafted from marble and plastic sheet inlaid with a curved shape mirror leg where the sculptural object can slightly reflect natural lights and shadow movements. - Design Challenge
- For the realization processes, we always conceive of ourselves as a conceptual and experimental designer with a more minimalist vision for the clients, but from a local social perspective in Taiwan, the design of residence has to use plenty of decorative elements to be magnificent.
We are intending to achieve the aesthetic of design methods and materials reconfigured and adapted to suit the needs of the local culture.
We hope that would be a magical way of process slowly extracts all the essences and aroma of Taiwan. - Research
- Chinese had been developed the Xin Dian area along the river by boat since 1909. Nowadays, the development of the area has been built for river sightseeing and urban community.
The purpose of the research of the site location is to try to find out a connection between the background of the owner, the change of Xin Dian and its impacts through “homospatial thinking”.
We deeply believe that result of creating rivers and time flowing must necessarily become a unique experiment for the inhabitant to develop their own existence in the space. - Inspiration
- Features of geography inspired us to make all of these things happen, such as a river surrounded by the apartment, watercourses surrounded by the location of the site.
The client’s background and story recall the character from the novel “Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse.
Referencing the spiritual journey of self-discovery of the man in the book to the design minimalist language. The most attractive part is he learned and experienced through the river. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2020 in Taipei City and finished in May 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The keyframe is how to convert the invisible concept into the visible objects in the space.
Especially the concept is from a character who has been learned and experienced through the river.
We took the scenes that he saw, the means that he seeking to be free and open to profound in the inner of peace, to transforming the philosophy that we felt from the role in the book into the design processes.
We used the natural materials and form of function objects to complement the apartment’s placid interior.
It is an artful lesson on how to align comfort and simplicity. - Image Credits
