Unique Properties: This design project attempts to create a modern spatial atmosphere, obtaining a balance between dignity and mellowness while following the low-profile and slightly luxurious layout, offering abundant and delicate layers, where the conversation between the three aspects of nature, space, and user demonstrates the yearning towards life.
Inspiration: Capturing the tiny variations between light and shadow through conservative colored materials, offering the spatial image of living in the forest, collecting the subtle interactions between space and nature, the close connection between the natural sceneries and the living environment are thereby initiated, as if there were a forest within the house, creating the passionate scenery imprinted in the space.
