Unique Properties: Curved lines at the entrance set the tone for homecoming, guiding both gaze and steps. A sculpted entry screen creates a calm atmosphere with textured coatings and warm accents of natural wood, terrazzo, iron, and bronze mirrors, resulting in a beautiful material mix.

The uniquely shaped screen integrates an art display, a buffet, and Feng Shui elements, linking the entrance to the living and dining areas while defining functional zones. Soft ceiling lights guide visitors with angled turns, discreetly shielding the living room and framing the lush 12 meter balcony as a vibrant landscape beyond.
Dimensions & Packaging: This project encompasses a total of 106 square meters of indoor space.
The interior layout includes an entryway, living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a dedicated cat room, two bathrooms, and a guest restroom. The outdoor layout features a 12 meter sky garden balcony and two terraces.

Production Technology: This residence embraces northwest sunlight with three-sided lighting, a large balcony, and two terraces. The layout was carefully adjusted, removing partitions and minimizing corridor space. The hallway by the windows allows ample sunlight while reducing external noise, enhancing the cats' security. Each main bedroom has access to the terraces, ensuring everyone enjoys the greenery and views. Feng Shui guided the layout, making every design line functional. The color palette features grays, whites, and earthy tones, creating a unified feel. The owner’s cherished round table at the center invites family gatherings and shared moments.
Design Challenge: Feng Shui and six cats create a harmonious space, blending security and dynamic design. Modern touches enable an engaging flow, bringing emotions and daily life into balance. A warm reddish-brown accent highlights the Feng Shui wealth area, subtly incorporating decor and ancestral items without overwhelming the space. This tone, alongside wood textures and neutral gray and white walls, melds practicality with character. An eco-friendly, cloud-like main light adds softness and dimension, enhancing the home’s layers and inviting a tranquil, cohesive atmosphere.
Research: The floor plan addresses the homeowner's Feng Shui needs, emphasizing visual and directional elements upon entering. The pathway guides from southwest to northeast, leading to the dining table, while buffering societal influences to provide a sense of security at home. The original central hallway has been relocated beside the floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize greenery and natural light, blurring indoor-outdoor boundaries. This design creates an illusion of expanded space by focusing on the balcony view, enhancing the overall openness of the interior.
Inspiration: Bathed in the warmth of the afternoon sun, gentle natural light pours in, where six cats lie lazily in sunlit patches, as if attempting to freeze time within this serene moment. The instant of returning home sheds the clamor, embracing peace.
Paths are drawn for a family of four and six cats to roam freely, merging beauty and connection, creating a harmonious space for a shared life with their feline companions.
Project Duration: The project began in August 2022 and was completed in January 2023 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The design incorporates flexible usage areas, transforming the screen into a tangible form while optimizing the layout of the cat room, hallway, and living room wall to enhance sunlight in common areas. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly with the kitchen, unobstructed by sliding doors that isolate cooking fumes in a Chinese-style kitchen. These doors tuck into the walls for an open sightline, unveiling views of the home. Thoughtfully placed furniture ensures all lines of sight converge, enhancing the warmth and unity of the space.
