This single story residence was renovated with a rational distribution of public and private spaces, in order to meet the needs of the client. A key concept was the installation of a row of double-sided cabinets, which discreetly divided the corridor-shaped entryway from the combined dining and kitchen area. This allowed for a space with plenty of turns, and ample storage for the public area.
Inner Vastness is a residential interior design for a 112.3 square meter home in Taiwan. The layout includes two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, an indoor garden and two bathrooms. An open plan forms the public area, while a curved plan shapes the indoor garden, which echoes the light from the windows. A glass screen separates the garden from the public area. Ventilation and natural light are emphasized, and an exhaust system guides air to all corners. Patio lights supplement the entrance area. Materials include iron, glass and tile.
Wave Rhythm is a residential interior design for an apartment of 132.2 square meters in Taiwan. The home holds three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and three bathrooms. Water is the guiding theme, expressed through rippled wall surfaces, curved cabinetry and smooth lines that lead through the rooms. Materials include artistic coating, wood veneers, wood flooring, stone, ironwork, mineral paint and blue velvet carpets. A light color scheme and enlarged floor-to-ceiling windows increase daylight, while a curved platform with linear lighting below adds warmth.
The Family Bonding is a residential interior design located halfway up a mountain in Chiayi City, Taiwan. The home covers about 396.6 square meters and serves as a retirement residence and a guest house. Black, white, gray and brown tones are combined with stone and wood textures. A curved ceiling rises from the entrance toward the living and dining area to open the view. Flowing marble floor tiles, a dark stone wall with a fireplace, a hidden pull-out cabinet and a kitchen island joined with a fish tank complete the plan.
Life Live is a residential interior design for a pre-owned apartment in Taiwan. The home covers 102.4 square meters on the sixteenth floor and contains three plus one rooms, a living room and a dining room. Open cabinets, grilles and varied ceiling heights create depth and keep the natural light of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Grey tones and wood grain form a mix of Japanese and modern styles. Storage cabinets are placed in every area for the family. The original flooring was polished to reduce the use of new materials.
Gorgeous Tranquility is a residential interior design created for a family of four in Taiwan. The home covers 231.4 square meters and holds four rooms, a living room, a dining room and two bathrooms. Marble in the foyer and on the television wall stays visible from the whole public area. An open plan joins the living room, dining room and kitchen, while ceiling frames mark each zone. Neutral colors, solid wood, titanium plated metal and black mirrors form a calm and understated look. A sliding door allows the study room to open to the public area or remain private.
Magnificence is a residential interior design covering 234 square meters. The original four-bedroom layout was changed to three bedrooms, so the master bedroom became larger. Stone, dark wood grain, beige wallpaper and titanium plated strips give each area a different character. Two stone panels form the entryway screen, and a round ceiling softens the entrance. The master bedroom follows an L-shaped route from the sleeping area to the dressing table and the changing room. The floors are laid in cross-nail and herringbone patterns.
Hotel Home is a residential interior design for a 290 square meter apartment in Kaohsiung. The home was created for a couple and their two sons, who wanted the calm elegance of a hotel without the use of marble. Dark brown glass, wood veneer, stretch fabric, wallpaper, iron pieces and titanium plated metal form the main surfaces. An arched ceiling raises the sense of height and conceals a prominent beam in the dining area, and a change in ceiling level hides the suspended air conditioner. Detachable arched shelves in the game room can later serve as general storage.
Leafing Page is a residential interior design created for a family of three generations. The apartment covers 115.7 square meters and holds three plus one rooms, a living room and a dining room. The original four-room plan was cramped, so the study partition was removed and joined to the public area. Storage cabinets are shaped like large books, and glass sliding doors let daylight pass through. Materials include solid wood veneer, glass, marble slate and ceramic board. Earth tones define the public area, while shades of green mark the private rooms.
Summer Afternoon is an apartment interior design completed in Taiwan. The residence covers 92.5 square meters, with the public area on the ground floor and the private area on the second floor. The living and dining rooms are left without partitions to keep the layout open. Wooden sliding doors and folding windows separate the kitchen, hold back fumes and let daylight pass through. Grey paint, wood veneers, architectural concrete and textured glass form a calm and rustic setting. A light green bedside wall brightens the master bedroom.
For Two is a residential interior design created for two people in Taiwan. The plan removes the traditional living room and the enclosed partitions. The dressing room and the kitchen island act as two centers, and the layout follows two concentric circles that form a circular route between the kitchen, the audio-visual room, the study and the master bedroom. Glass partitions and floor-to-ceiling windows draw light inside and frame the greenery outside. Sliding doors keep privacy, and track lighting under the beams reduces the visual weight of the structure.
Pristine Elegance is a residential interior design for a new apartment of 264.4 square meters in Taiwan. The plan holds two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bar area. One partition was removed to widen the public area, and the former dining area became a second bedroom. A raised floor and indirect lighting mark the bar, which includes a large countertop, a custom wine cabinet, and a small sink. Gray, white, and wood tones are combined with gray mirrors and light strips. A hidden door separates the public and private zones.
