About Bathing in Coziness Residential Space
Bathing in Coziness is a residential interior design for a 185 square metre home in Taichung, Taiwan. The foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen are opened into one area, and solid wall partitions are reduced. A grid screen divides the foyer, while a low marble wall and the original structural beam define the boundary between the living room and the kitchen. Natural solid wood, veneer and marble keep their original appearance, and the television wall is finished with natural mineral sand coating.

- Unique Properties
- The designer for this project has subverted the design process, where the existing objects are used to think about the presentation techniques of the space, while classical furniture with abundant contours is used as the main visual theme, which is complemented by the mutual stacking of simple and modern frames to create the primary and secondary layers, thereby demonstrating comfortable and carefree home design.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project is 185 square metre.

- Production Technology
- With a breathable house as the eco-friendly concept, solid wall partitions are reduced and replaced with virtual walls, while natural solid wood, veneer and marble etc. are further selected to preserve the original looks of the materials, and the television wall utilized natural mineral sand coating to sculpt the natural texture.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Upon entering indoor, the amber-colored foyer cabinet and dark brown sofa chair transform into the visual focus when accentuated by the pure white marble, while the natural light sprinkling down from outside the French window demonstrates a refreshing and bright indoor spatial ambience.
- Research
- After several communications, the house owner desires for a spacious area without visual blockage, as well as having multiple spatial layers. For this reason, the layout for the foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen are opened up to present a wall-free design concept; the foyer utilized penetrative grid screen for partitioning, offering an illusion between reality and virtuality; the kitchen and living room used marble low wall to form a virtualized wall together with the original structural beam of the building, thereby defining the boundary between the living room and the kitchen.
- Inspiration
- Knowing the sustainable principle, the designer kept the sustainable value for the design, using natural materials with “less is more” design concept, such that there is no unnecessary design, unnecessary manufacturing and unnecessary waste to correct the mistakes from the past while leaving a better environment for the future generations.
