The Design

About Void of Serenity Bahay Tirahan

Dinisenyo bilang isang 100 metro kuwadradong pahingahan para sa isang senior executive sa industriya ng teknolohiya, ang tirahang ito ay nagsisilbing pansamantalang tahanan para sa makabuluhang oras kasama ang pamilya, malayo sa presyon ng buhay lungsod. Ang matte na artistikong mga patong ay inilapat sa buong bahay, kung saan sadyang binawasan ang mga makinang na ibabaw upang mabawasan ang biswal na estimulasyon. Ang mga bukas na living at dining area ay nagpapatibay ng koneksyon, habang ang mga pribadong silid ay yumayakap sa pahinga. Ang mainit at may lente-lenteng ilaw at malambot na mga tekstura ay nagpapalalim sa pakiramdam ng kanlungan, na lumilikha ng espasyo para sa tunay na pagpapahinga at tahimik na pakikipag-usap sa sarili sa gitna ng mabilis na mundo.

Unique Properties: The client, a high pressure tech professional, sought a serene secondary home to escape urban stress. This 100 square meter retreat balances family interaction with personal comfort. A restrained material palette and minimized reflections soften the visual field and reduce noise. The open living and dining plan encourages connection, while secluded sleeping areas ensure deep rest. This home is designed as a sensory refuge, inviting reconnection, mindfulness and slow living.
Dimensions & Packaging: Interior Area: 100 m². Ceiling Height: 3.0 m in the living area, 2.55 m in other public spaces, and 2.8 m in private areas. Layout features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas with a study room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Walls and ceilings throughout are finished with Tacto, an Italian paint brand, creating a refined matte, suede-like texture.

Production Technology: To create a lighter and more efficient lifestyle, we developed the Emotion First smart home system. Based on user observation, it integrates HVAC and lighting, with motion sensor corridor lights adding both function and mood. Night mode shifts to warm light, hearth-like mist, and optimal sleep temperature, cutting energy use by 15 percent. The study merges a bookshelf and folding bed to maximize space and keep flexibility for overnight guests.
Design Challenge: The challenge lay in shaping openness and flow within a compact footprint while deliberately avoiding reflective materials. The design aspired to evoke the ease of a private villa retreat, where calm and intimacy intertwine. Deep hues and matte textures were layered to convey quiet strength, while proportion and scale were finely tuned to transform potential heaviness into a cocoon-like sense of refuge, free from oppression yet rich in serenity.
Research: Stepping into this home feels as if time slows down. We began by observing daily life and conducting in-depth interviews, combining qualitative research to explore how materials, light, and form affect emotions. Matte, natural finishes were chosen to avoid glare, while warm lighting, a glowing hearth, and mist create a serene atmosphere. The design encourages mindfulness, reduces the need for frequent renovations, and turns the home into a sustainable refuge for body and mind.
Inspiration: Architecture holds life and a home preserves intimacy. Soft hues and matte textures quiet the senses, while earthy tones and minimalist design create warmth and calm. Inspired by Lao Tzu's wisdom, natural materials evoke the stillness of a forest, and soft lighting lets silence speak. As one moves through the space, light blooms like stardust. In the bedroom, beige apricot walls and muted grays cradle the mind, and a pendant light gently leads into restful sleep.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2024 and finished in August 2025 in Taichung.
Operation Flow: This home is designed to guide you through a calm journey. As you walk in, soft colors and matte textures quiet your mind. Natural wood and earthy plaster make you feel close to nature. Lights change gently as you move, like stars slowly lighting up the night sky. The bedroom wraps you in soft apricot and gray, helping you slow down and rest.
More than just a place to live, it's a peaceful sanctuary that nourishes the body and allows the senses to rest. We approach design as a quiet art, using a minimalist aesthetic to let the spirit breathe.
