About Luminous Serenity 住宅室內設計

「靜謐之光」係一個位於台灣高雄嘅住宅室內設計項目。呢間公寓係為一位年輕醫科學生打造嘅寧靜居所。設計秉承侘寂（wabi-sabi）哲學，選用石材、木材同灰泥等天然物料。日光透過木質百葉窗滲入室內，令光影隨住一日嘅時間推移而變化。設計採用環保灰泥、漂流木、樹皮飾面同無縫地板，喺原有基礎上鋪設以減少浪費。透過最少嘅拆卸工程保留原有間隔，而開放式廚房中島就將客廳同飯廳連繫起嚟。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The design unfolds around three themes, Light and Shadow, Calm, and Return. Daylight flows through timber louvers like a living rhythm, while tactile materials such as stone, wood, and plaster form a grounded palette. The space becomes a vessel of healing, where light, texture, and emotion converge into a restorative narrative.
Dimensions & Packaging: Minimal demolition preserves the original layout while improving flow. An open kitchen island connects living and dining areas; the study integrates double-sided bookshelves for a medical library. Diverse lighting, pendants, track, and strips, allows flexible scenarios, enhancing comfort and resonance with daily life.

Production Technology: Eco friendly specialty plasters, driftwood, and tree bark veneer are combined with PANDOMO seamless flooring, minimizing waste through direct application on the existing base. This mix of natural and sustainable finishes balances rawness with refinement, showcasing craftsmanship while supporting durability and environmental responsibility.
Design Challenge: The challenge lay in creating a sanctuary within a standard apartment while minimizing demolition. By layering textures, integrating sustainable materials, and orchestrating light as a dynamic element, the design transcends visual style, becoming a restorative environment that endures both emotionally and environmentally.
Research: The project investigates how wabi sabi aesthetics can be adapted to contemporary urban living. Through material reuse, low carbon processes, and nuanced light control, it explores a holistic balance between sustainability and emotional wellbeing, proposing a design model where aesthetics, ecology, and human needs align.
Inspiration: Inspired by the philosophy of wabi sabi, the residence transforms urban living into a meditative retreat. Stripping away excess and embracing natural elements, it was created as a sanctuary for the client’s daughter embarking on her medical studies, offering a place of calm, reflection, and emotional grounding.
Project Duration: The project, located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was completed in November 2024 after an 8 month duration.
Operation Flow: Spatial fluidity fosters interaction: the kitchen island anchors gatherings, while open sightlines link the public zones. Timber louvers let light shift throughout the day, enriching spatial expressions. Each space, study, bedrooms, living areas, balances functionality with mood, encouraging wellbeing and meaningful daily rituals.
