Design Challenge: The use of special Inkiostro Bianco material for the dining room walls brought a whole new challenge. In visual aspect, the designer had to find balance between the scale, proportion and the space to make the mural feel like it is extending. During this process the designer simulated results for quite a few times before finally finding the above-mentioned balance. According to the designer, this is a rare, fun experience.
Research: This residence is located in the city center with the view of a wide park and greenness. The clients are elegant and with good taste of aesthetics, the inspiration of interior design is based on these traits of theirs. The whole room floor is laid with warm-colored wood, bringing the warmness and secure feelings to this home. The materials used such as titanium-plated metal and glass brings the delicate and exquisite feelings, and the Inkiostro Bianco mural presents the posh taste for arts.

In this open style public area, with the sandblasted glass, the TV wall and existing structure divide the space into different units with different functions; the storage space is either with suspending design, different materials of doors, or combined with display shelves, bringing changes and multi-layered difference.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the cats of clients. The designer was inspired by the elegance of cats, their traits of liking to stay in every cozy corner, and their great sense of balance. The layout of space is corresponded with the activities that the clients like, such as reading, music and art appreciation, divided into several areas. By using different colors, materials and furniture each area is with its own atmosphere but the image as a whole is still consistent.
Project Duration: The project was completed in March, 2018 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Since the original layout of the house did not meet the requirements of the clients, therefore one of the rooms was released to remodify as dressing room of the main bedroom. In this way, the space is more practical, and now there is an open style study room after the physical wall got removed.
