Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Lights travel and reflect in the shape of an oval, getting close to infinity ultimately. Circle and arc feature as the main elements of the space. With a precise spatial arrangement, the designer gets to establish a great flow and abundant layers of the atmosphere. The use of a circle not only becomes the main element corresponding to the features of the space, it also symbolizes unity and wholeness of a family.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 112 square meter.
Tags: Interior, Circle, Oval, Minimalism, Natural
Production Technology: The curved lines of the architectural structure contribute to a fluid flow of the space, echoing with the use of the circle, producing a delightful vibe. The recessed circle of the ceiling with embedded lighting gently separates the public space into living and dining rooms. As wooden walls connect to the floor, natural patterns of wood grain makes the whole space much more elegant and comfortable.
Design Challenge: The main purpose of the interior design wishes to offer a healthy and safe indoor space, creating a livable daily environment for users. In addition, with the use of better architectural elements, materials, skills, and a wise design, the living quality is therefore elevated. By reducing the elimination rate of items and materials, one can also achieve the goal of sustainability by cherishing what is greatly designed.
Research: The irregular shape of the dining table connects the kitchen and the living room, transitioning from a perfect full circle to a regular square shape. With multiple ovals forming into the ceiling lamp, it highlights the changeover of the space's features. The use of cool colors such as dark blue and white contrasts with the soft wooden tone, making the kitchen look neat and clean.
Inspiration: Applying natural textures of the materials to embody the quality of the space, the minimalist aesthetic without over-decorating the space shows the ingenuity of the designer. Focusing on the user of the space, the designer creates a living experience that resonates with all the residents.
Project Duration: The project finished in February 2021 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Operation Flow: The floor-to-ceiling window introduces a great amount of sunlight in the open public space, resulting in a much spacious and luminous atmosphere. The panoramic view of the window brings in natural elements and city landscape, becoming the best scenery at home whether during daylight or nighttime.
