The metal grille room divider beside the entrance is an attempt by the designers to strike a balance between transparency and concealment, inspired by an extraordinary chair purchased by the clients. The chair seems like an artwork that is rich in grid expression. With similar elements in the home decoration, the designers anticipate integrating consistent and beautiful expression elements in the residence.

Design Challenge: When dealing with the space proposals with the clients, the designers understand the abstract feeling of the female clients when it comes to home expression. With the multilayer shoe storage, they create a cloakroom like a mysterious collection place. The team anticipates space can maintain the spacious vision of the side corridor while adding the functions with the partition plan. Thus, the team adopts a specific size arrangement and glass sliding doors to design an appropriate layout, creating the most desirable cloakroom for the female clients that every woman wants.
Research: The original floor materials have high quality, and the craftsmanship is precise and solid. Thus, the team adopts the method of processing and color-changing to adjust the color expression of the floor. Not only does it retain the most precious and rare decoration parts of the old residence, but it also gives vitality to the reddish and outdated floors through re-dyeing. In order to retain the spaciousness in the residence with large square meters, the team adopts the light space tone with the flashing light gray color on the preface of the art wall, and they rearrange the study partition wall. Replaced the wall with iron frames and glass.
Inspiration: An aged residence owned by the clients is renovated and modified by the design team. Through the renovation, the new appearance of the space is energetic and expanded. Because the space is full of family memories, some of the materials used in the original house have good quality, the advantage of square layout and moderate lighting, the designers adopt subtractive design thinking. With specific and implicit methods, they retain and modify some parts, creating a modern home atmosphere and relaxing comfort in the project.
Project Duration: The construction was completed in Taipei Xinyi District in August 2020.
Operation Flow: In the private area, the team plans an appropriate private area for each bedroom, and it is equipped with an exclusive dressing room, as well as its own bathroom, so family members have a comfortable and moderate private space.
