Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The location of this work faces the long riverbank and has a great view of mountains and rivers, during the day and at night. The natural light inspires the designer to arrange the space in this way. From common areas to private space, and from shelves, decoration to furniture, all the design reveals a constant pattern of careful balance and mellow roundness that recreates our spatial sense.
Dimensions & Packaging: The interior area of this project is about 132 square feet.
Tags: grayish white, natural light, space allocation, renovation, environmentally friendly construction materials
Production Technology: To have a place that is warm and cozy for people to relax after daily hustle and bustle is something to anticipate for everyone. In building the dream house for the busy family, aside from redesigning the space, the designer pays attention to the materials. For the residents health and to practice the idea of sustainability, environmentally friendly construction materials are used for paints, walls, and system furniture.
Design Challenge: The main challenge of this design is to make good use of scenery and natural light to create a sense of boundless horizon in the limited space. To that effect, the designer chooses the hue of grayish white for the wall of the entire house to create an atmosphere of comfort and elegance. From common areas to private space, and from shelves, decoration to furniture, all the design reveals a constant pattern of careful balance and mellow roundness that recreates our spatial sense.
Research: Each detail is crafted to bring out spatial quality and order. The designers professionalism is fully displayed in the arranged layers and color ratio of different materials. Space for a living is a square, and in using geometry as an analogy for life, family means circle.
Between square and circle is a life of struggle and pleasure. The symbols laid out by the designer in the space characterize this work and deliver the blessing to the family. When residents move between different parts of the square, they feel the fullness of their lives because of the love from the family.
Inspiration: The family that owns this property is a family of four. The original design only has four individual rooms and falls short of what they need. The designer adds three additional separate rooms and a multifunctional room when allocating more space to common areas. And this apartment faces the long riverbank and has a great view of mountains and rivers, also possess plenty of natural light which inspired the designer to arrange the space in this way.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
