Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The overall applied the concept of primitive, simple, and lack of complexity, as the primary tonal; ecological materials and wooden elements are used to separate each area. The public area starts from the functional entryway to the round table of the dining room, the kitchen island, and the kitchen area; meanwhile, wooden cabinets are set up to increase functionality and space effect. The living room area is decorated with linear elements; double-wood blocks are continued towards the television wall. As for the private area, the stone floorings are paired to deliver a neat and simple visual sense.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 36-ping residence is equipped with four bedrooms and two living rooms. To make space smoother, the designer created a harmonious traffic flow from the entryway to the living room. At the same time, materials in the same tonal are used in each corner of the house, adding character to all areas. The warm colors of milk tea are applied with linear lightings and yellow furniture to create vividness. Furthermore, the ceiling is designed with a gradient sense to shape a delicate and consistent spatial aesthetic.
Tags: Exquisite space, modern style, milk tea color, homogeneous materials, merged residences.
Production Technology: Stone materials, natural wood veneers, imported wallpapers, special paints, wooden cabinets.
Design Challenge: Small residences merge the space of this project; therefore, creating a clear traffic flow while fulfilling functional needs and comprehensiveness was the critical point of the design. Since there is only one entrance, the designer used colors to create connections between the entryway, the dining room, the kitchen, and the living room, allowing users to transform emotions while entering different areas. Functions redefine the limited space, and its space effect and functionality are increased.
Research: This project is a residence combined with two households; four bedrooms and two living rooms are equipped within the 36-ping space. Because of the spatial comprehensiveness, the designer created a traffic flow that values the clients' lifestyle. Through the smooth traffic flow, the entryway connects the dining room, the kitchen, the living room, and bedrooms harmoniously. At the same time, materials in the same tonal are expanded throughout the space; wooden cabinets, embedded linear lightings, and other ingenuities have created unique characteristics for each area.
Inspiration: This project radiates a beautiful poetic sense within the transparent space that is equipped with natural lightings and a breeze that welcomes clients' simplicity and rustiness. The designer applied ecological colors for the overall space, such as warm wooden materials, rich grains of stones, and the elegant colors of milk tea; a house of four bedrooms and two living rooms is born within the harmonious balance.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2010 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Within the limited space and initial spatial arrangement, fulfilling functional needs while achieving high space effect and delivering aesthetic was the designer primary task. Different materials are used within the four bedrooms and two living rooms as area divisions. At the same time, wooden tonal, stone plates, linear-designed doors, and special paints in the same color tone are expanded throughout the residence to add layers and create consistency. Furthermore, linear lightings are embedded in between the wooden cabinets while pairing with display cabinets made of grey mirrors, an ingenuity that differs from common storage areas.
