Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The planning of 1423 sqft space started with change of intended house layout. Four areas of spacious living room and dining room, 2 circular flows with the entryway opening to the kitchen, master bedroom and 2 guest bedrooms were divided based on everyday living requisites, with the corridor as axis, height of ceiling and terrace boundary.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1423 square feet
Tags: home, residential, interior, Taiwan, interior design
Production Technology: Area from front door to the entryway was called "first entry", which was also the first circular flow moving line based on daily living needs.

Entering the kitchen from entryway, you would see the huge cooking area. This was what we called "second entry" and the second circular flow. The "third entry" could be found in the living room and dining room.
Design Challenge: In response to the client's desire for light and refreshing aesthetics, only two types of wood were used in the space: white oak and walnut, which, in addition to creating the proportion of visual lightness and heaviness as well as space dividing, it could also present the purity of the space and warmth of nature credited to the natural clouds on the wall produced by the designer's special proportioned mortar.
Research: The original in-line kitchen planned by the builder was changed into open storeroom subject to client's change of layout, which, in addition to sparing enough room for storage but also for spacious kitchen and kitchen island. Another key change was the direction shift of the master bathroom door, which brought the square bedroom and satisfactory dressing room.
Inspiration: The design of public area integrated with concept of three entry courtyard of Chinese traditional buildings, which satisfied the daily life needs of the building through the interior space, bringing in the sense of space dimension and ritual of home.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and finished in June 2022 in HsinChu Taiwan
Operation Flow: The house owners valued rituals of life and interactions with kids, loving the lightness and refreshment brought by Zen. Therefore, we designed and customized the cabinets, laminates and furniture in the public area by ourselves.

There was no traditional standard ceiling in the spacious living room and dining room. With height difference created by the ceilings, space here is more spacious and enlarged, while also allowing light to shine through.

The design broke the impression of a standard living room and left plenty of empty space for flexible future living needs.
