Unique Properties: The designer has chosen natural materials as the foundation of the construction in order to contain the biggest flexibility of the space. With adequate division and cabinets, the space has reached a sense of extension and broadness by modifying the abrupt beams. What more, the designer has adopted the setting of blank doors in the space so that the client can enjoy the consistency of the house by closing them. Nevertheless, by putting the long table in the middle of the kitchen area, the space has manifested a sense of completion and consistency.
Dimensions & Packaging: By the combination of storage cabinets and daily needs, the designer has changed several turning spots in the space into functional domains for storage such as cabinets have been established at the entrance in a grey color tone which has expressed a fresh sense. What more, by setting blank doors with the function of cabinets, refrigerator, and storage space, the designer has created a fresh mood for the construction.

Production Technology: With the great deployment of tinted mirrors, light color wood texture, systematic cabinets, recessed pointing in wood texture, linear lighting, roller blinds, and the inherent nice lighting, the materials in light color have extended perfectly to the ground, walls, and ceiling. Also, by the good match of wood materials, the towering feeling made by the abrupt beams has been diminished. Moreover, the symmetry of the color has corresponded to the simple but elegant style of the house.
Design Challenge: There are quite many huge beams in the case. Therefore, the designer has planned the configuration, lighting, and flow line carefully before constructing. In the living room, by placing the wood cabinets right on the beams and columns as well as modifying the horizontal columns and tube lights with an oblique cut, the pressure and abruptness caused by the beams and columns have been eliminated. It not only improves the space function but also extends the visual perception.
Research: The designer has planned the space to be consistent with the preference of the client, simplicity, and modern style. Also, considering the inner environment of the house, the designer has established the configuration with function and client expectations. The designer has taken advantage of the light of the space, supplemented the space with natural material, fresh color paints, and timber, establishing a delicate configuration and sense of layers. Considering the completion of the space function, the designer has added open storage cabinets on the corners and abrupt beams.
Inspiration: The morning sunlight filter through the window into the room with birds tweeting, breeze blowing softly. The designer has chosen translucent cloth in a light color so as to manifest the feature of characteristic and also establish the building with gentle wood material. Under the inherent condition of nice lighting with the feature of natural material, the space has a charming cultural feeling.
Project Duration: The project finished in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Based on the client daily life, the designer has managed the place with light tone color so as to make the space look fresher. By the splendid match between light veneers, delicate texture of brick walls, and light grey color tone, the space can not only preserve a complete function but also own a sense of harmony. Also, the designer has changed the huge beams and the turning points into storage spaces which not only make the client use the space much more flexibly but also extend the sense of visual perception.
