The project "Defy" embodies a bold residential design concept that aims to defy the conventions of traditional living spaces. It seeks to create a living space that is flexible, diverse, and uniquely tailored to the homeowners' needs. The open design concept encourages unrestricted use of the public area while introducing a versatile dining table in the kitchen area that serves both dining and office purposes, accommodating the dynamic needs of the dwellers. Furthermore, installing distinctive furniture encourages a lifestyle transformation, inspiring homeowners to reshape and redefine their living spaces according to their preferences. 



The central concept of this residential design is to encourage the homeowner to see life from a new perspective. To achieve this, the team intentionally created open spaces with shelves to display the homeowner's life, with the hope of stimulating their imagination and turning their ordinary daily life into an experimental art piece. Additionally, the project emphasizes workspace flexibility by combining various functions into one, allowing the homeowner to adjust the space according to their needs at any time, maximizing efficiency.



The design incorporates rich, hand-stained wood veneer and dark stone to evoke a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. The decision to keep the walls white allows the homeowner to easily change wall decorations, fostering a sense of creativity and personalization within the home. To maintain a clean and pure spatial tone, the team seamlessly integrated the doors and wall surfaces throughout the entire room. This choice, combined with the use of simple lines, frameless design, screen curtains, and wooden blinds, greatly enhances the overall transparency and openness of the space.



 In order to create a more comfortable living space, the team conducted various living scenarios to meet the homeowner's needs at the early stage of the design process. They planned the following: installation of multiple open shelves and white space on the walls to increase the diversity of space and images; combining the study with work and rest to meet the homeowner's changing needs; installing a multi-functional table in the dining and kitchen area to increase space efficiency.
