About Bright House Residence
Bright House is a residential interior design for a family apartment in Taichung City, Taiwan. The interior covers about 142 square meters and holds a living room, a dining room, an open kitchen, a reading and lounge area, three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Open planning replaces solid walls, so daylight from two balconies reaches the shared living area. Metal frames and a metal folding screen define each zone. The materials include white stone, titanium-plated metal, light grey veneer and stone-look laminate.

- Research
- For the family who wants to have a slow-living life style, as the design goal is important to make the best use of the advantages of the base and keep the interior spacious. From the corridor to the indoor space, the metal folding screen is used to define the field and it is the first spotlight of the entrance. The folding screen shows that the living room and kitchen dining area are with open style design, letting the family members can interact with each other. Each area is designed to have its own function while complying with the original structure of the building. The reading and lounging area behind the TV wall is also separated by putting up a metal frame, becoming a unique and half-open corner in this house.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from the tight connections between client and his (her) family members. Since they are extremely close to each other, they hope everyone can enjoy all kinds of activities freely in this space. Therefore, the main living room is designed with open space and without physical walls, instead the metallic frames are used to divide the area. In this way, the whole living room can also share the natural light from two balconies.
