At first glance, the walls and corners appear simple and silent, genuinely, every detail is meticulously planned and thought out. The design process breaks away from the rigid procedure of simply solving problems and instead is driven by a singular idea: HOW TO TELL A COMPELLING STORY WITH THE SPACE.

Finding ways to create a light and airy feel that expands the visual space is key to designing a small residence. Using lighter and a consistent color palette can help enlarge the room, while matching it through to the low beam can draw the eyes to travel continuously to the ceiling, making the room appear more spacious. The spaces are reorganized in distinct styles by incorporating various forms, curved shapes, wood, grilles, and paint. Considering the needs of residents, light, and moving flow, the layout changed from the original three-room into a more open-spacious one to enhance the shared space ratio. The master bedroom and guest bedroom are intentionally arranged diagonally to avoid interfering with each other. Meanwhile, the kitchen becomes the center of the warm gathering, while everyone can enjoy their own living scenery.

This residence features a modern style that embraces neatness and simplicity. Natural light is filtered through the mix and match of materials with an unobstructed layout. Reflective surfaces like mirrors, gray glass, and metallic materials enhance the play of light and contribute to a harmonious atmosphere. The interplay between the cool, grayscale fair-faced concrete and the warm wood creates a natural and rustic texture that adds to the home’s cozy ambiance. In this residence, time seems to slow down, offering a peaceful refuge for homeowners to enjoy life in their own unique way.
