Mountain Rock．Comfy Home

The home had four rooms before renovation, and the homeowner demanded that the new home be renovated into a subtle American-style residence for two people.



For the design project, the new home had the new layout, whose precise arrangement of space and traffic flow made the exact new home with 3 rooms that the homeowner ever needed. The one room divided into two areas makes the kitchen and dressing room bigger. The active design idea removing the redundant space creates a wider and cozier indoor space.



The designer not only satisfied the homeowner’s needs in the renovation, but also comprehensively took into consideration the health of the entire family. The new air circulation machine maintains the certain air quality in the residence. Furthermore, the entire indoor space was decorated with the low-formaldehyde materials. Even though the F 3 class of low-formaldehyde materials conforms to the standards in Asia, the designer who wanted the entire family to live in a home safer and heathier used the F1 class of low-formaldehyde wood materials, which contribute to a much lower formaldehyde emission.



It is admirable that the designer was very diligent in planning the details of design project. The adhesives normally overlooked by most architects were strictly examined by the designer, who specifically demanded that the wood veneers and their adhesives be low formaldehyde. The eco-friendly latex paints, including the special mineral paint for the TV wall, can decompose formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, which is regularly contained in paints for 9 months, can be completely decomposed in a month. The eco-friendly paints are safe, attractive, healthy, and eco-friendly.



The design team resolutely believed that the logical using of good building materials reduces the damages to nature and lowers the construction costs. The efforts to preserve the gifts from nature make people to live with the environment in a more friendly and sustainable relationship.
