Production Technology
The project was crafted through meticulous traditional carpentry, executed entirely by local artisans. Custom millwork was seamlessly integrated with brushed iron structures, marble cladding, and three-dimensional ceramic tiles. The smart home system utilizes Aqara to control air conditioning (warm/cool), curtains, lighting, projection screen, and environmental modes. It also monitors energy consumption in real-time. The kitchen features premium cabinetry from Italian brand Stosa, selected for its refined finishes and ergonomic functionality.
Design Challenge
The key challenge was sculpting the ceiling to convey symbolic leadership-lowing yet restrained. It required multiple scaled mockups, structural negotiations, and finish tests to find the curve's ideal softness. Meanwhile, integrating full smart systems invisibly, while preserving minimalist purity, was a technical and aesthetic balancing act.
Research
Research focused on spatial emotion and behavioral flow. Interviews and lifestyle observations of the client revealed a desire for quiet strength and low-profile elegance. Light behavior mapping and thermal studies supported the ceiling design, while system logic trees for the smart home defined the user's ideal routines. The result is a space where meaning and automation coexist.
Inspiration
The design was inspired by the client - a woman whose presence is calm yet commanding. At the first site visit, she said, "I do not want a flat ceiling, but nothing too dramatic either." That moment led to the idea of a flowing cloak, translated into a dual-curved ceiling. The entrance features a bold geometric floor, referencing a chessboard as a metaphor for control and elegance. The space merges softness with structure, using materials and smart systems to reflect quiet authority.
Project Duration
The project was carried out from June 2024 to February 2025 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The home responds to the user's presence intuitively. With voice or app control, curtains draw, lights shift to preset scenes, the air adjusts to a comfortable temperature, and the projection screen emerges from the marble wall. Each transition is designed to feel fluid and theatrical, yet discreet-reinforcing the user's control over the atmosphere.
