A Well-Made Home

The project situated in the downtown of Taichung, is a sample house specifically constructed for buyers searching for a new dwelling in the place of their old one. To highlight such advantages as a wide façade, ample natural light and neat layout, its spatial use and ease of movement have been meticulously worked on, blending elements from nature to shape an eye-catching, ideal living space. The focal point of the living room is lowered and the entire space looks comfy as a result of the seemingly buoyant composition of the TV wall, which is framed with stone-vein material, combining marble, iron parts, woodwork to define the space in a refined way and working perfectly with storage space. In this open-plan space, the L-shaped sofa imported from Italy serves to separate cleverly the living room and the dining room. Reflected by ample sunlight, it embodies a beauty of natural luster. In the dining room, the wall of three-dimensional carved leather is a visual pop-out. It is made the way a brand-name, limited-edition luxury is custom made—from creating a design, having it sewn digitally in a factory, to having a craftsman carve the patterns by hand. Tough, firm bridle leather bears a specifically made family emblem. When it is paired with pure-white translucent acrylic boards and fine lighting, rich three-dimensional variations of light and shadow are presented. The white marble dining table with curved corners adds even more delicacy to the space. Unlike regular residences, a sample house has to take into consideration such needs as sales, appearance, and practicality. Eco-friendly building materials are specifically selected, such as super abrasion-resistant floors, non-toxic latex paints, ready-made boards, and so on. To create powerful visual impact, a variety of materials are collaged, which is a great challenge. It is very challenging, for example, to make soft leather stiff in a space 3.6 meters in height by means of leather-carving techniques. In sum, innovative use of varied materials creates unique and enriched shades in the cordial color palette. An ideal living space is fully simulated, thereby making functionality and sensual experience close to perfect.
