Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This design focuses on the communal areas of the home. We utilize spatial partitioning to differentiate the entryway, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The furniture layout is thoughtfully arranged, emphasizing practicality while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 750cm x Depth 750cm x Height 310cm
Tags: Minimalism , Interaction , Efficiency , Design , Modern
Production Technology: Originally, many partitions made the space feel cramped. We improved efficiency by removing and relocating walls, allowing for better utilization of the area. We also chose environmentally friendly building materials to create a living-friendly environment.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in this design is simplification—how to refine unnecessary decorative elements to make the space appear more minimalist. Achieving this requires careful consideration of each element's purpose and impact on the overall aesthetic. By focusing on clean lines, neutral colors, and functional furniture, we can create an environment that feels open and inviting. The goal is to eliminate visual clutter while maintaining a sense of warmth and comfort, ensuring that the space is not only beautiful but also practical for everyday living. This approach allows for a harmonious balance between form and function.
Research: The way people interact within a space can be altered through the design of partitions, changing the patterns of activities they engage in at home. Thoughtful partition design not only affects physical movement but also influences social interactions and the overall atmosphere. By creating distinct areas for various functions, such as work, relaxation, and socializing, we can enhance comfort and functionality. Ultimately, this approach fosters a more harmonious living environment that caters to the diverse needs of its inhabitants, promoting a balanced lifestyle.
Inspiration: This design is inspired by the outdoors, emphasizing nature and comfort. Large windows allow ample sunlight to fill the space, creating a bright and transparent atmosphere. Neutral tones and flowing lines bring a sense of tranquility, while the overall layout balances practicality and aesthetics. Natural materials and delicate details make the space not just a living environment, but a sanctuary for the soul.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2025 in New Taipei city.
Operation Flow: We transformed the original small room into a shared space, connecting the living room and kitchen to create an open layout. The area is divided by a TV wall and an island, which also expanded the activity space within the home.
