Pleats of Light

Located in Taichung, Pleats of Light is a 122㎡ residence designed for homeowners seeking a serene, low-saturation lifestyle. Grounded in a deep gray palette, the home balances contemporary character with warmth through stone, warm wood veneer, and arched metallic details.

The core concept, "Gathering Light Through Pleats," uses linear lighting as stitching that shapes and folds the dark-toned backdrop. Rather than creating enclosure, dark tones serve as a dynamic canvas where light and shadow interplay, highlighting rich material textures and creating fluid visual rhythm.

Space efficiency is maximized through a reconfigured layout. Part of a redundant room expands the public zone, while the master suite integrates a walk-in closet via a semi-height partition. This maintains functional separation without sacrificing light or sightlines. Through restrained material selection and concealed storage, Pleats of Light offers a tranquil, refined living environment built for long-term comfort.
