Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Black and white colors create a strong and dramatic contrast. There is an excellent use of color palette in a minimalist design to help present a simple and neat vibe. Clean lines and a clear view build up a space with stripped down simplicity. The earth tone furniture, bright pieces, and warmth and glow of wood give the cold space a lively and warm undertone.
Dimensions & Packaging: In the space of 148 square meters, there are three bedrooms, one living room, one dining room, two bathrooms, one kitchen, one dressing room and the storeroom.
Tags: Interior Design, Residential, Black, White, Minimalist Design
Production Technology: Aluminum frame glass, modeling puzzle, imported wallpaper, system cabinet, wooden grille, baking varnish, stone
Design Challenge: In the long and narrow space, the cabinet between the dining room and the living room is wrapped with a wooden grille as a screen in order to create good feng shui, and it is extended outward to the bedroom door to bring beauty and privacy to the space.
Research: The rhythm of the grille’s curved surface leads the way to the living room. The main TV wall is made of composite materials, with white veneer over the ink background. The sharp TV edges are trimmed in the alcove, so that the TV borders are hidden and merge with the main wall. The lower level of the ink colored TV cabinet is extended horizontally to support the main wall.
Inspiration: The colorless scheme of black and white conveys a pure perception of space. Black has a sense of weight and adds stability and calmness to the environment. White, on the other hand, has a feeling of lightness and breathability. White harmonizes the space and divides it into blocks in an orderly manner. Neutral gray wooden flooring combines the contrasts between black and white colors to build a harmonious living scene.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2021 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Upon opening the door, the open floor concept easily brings outdoor light into the room, while the platform at the entrance is used as a shoe stool in line with the shoe cabinet. The large storage closet can meet all the potential needs. On the linear vista wall, a semi circular shape is deliberately hollowed out to form a platform. Floral arrangements can be placed inside to add warmth to welcome residents home.
The wooden flooring extends upward to the wall behind the sofa. The middle section of the retracted platform can be used for storing items at hand. Followed by the floor to ceiling white cabinet, the conflict between black and white is soften with the matching of different materials.
The half height bar defines the dining room and kitchen. Glass folding doors block smoke while maintaining a transparent view. The sideboard continues to stick to the white tone, and the facade is made of gray stone material that adds a luxurious texture.
The master bedroom continues the tone of the public domain. A silvery white fabric headboard on the bedside wall provides a skin friendly feel. A higher proportion of gray creates a comfortable and cozy sleeping atmosphere.
