Drawing inspiration from waltz and the concepts of circle, the designer tailored the design to fit the residents’ characters: a host who has returned the country after years of living abroad, and a hostess loving playing music. In the Eastern culture, circle is a symbol of completeness, whole, harmony, and also the process of coming together, which is the core value of a family, and is brought through the practice of life. Meanwhile, the common love for music bridges this family value and the lightness and joy in western culture, of which Waltz is the best to represent. The designer creates a space for the family to compose a waltz of life, with a simple rhythmic pattern that echoes in the hearts of the family members.



The rhythm of waltz is transformed into a pattern for life, not only in the common space but also in the bedrooms. The open-plan living room is loosely parted by the beam, with lines of different width on the ceiling creating a triple time pattern. The rectangular common space is the axis of the space, while the black lines stretches out vertically which elongates the sights and visually separates sections of different functions. The large windows introduce natural lights into the space, and the contrast of lights and shadows furthermore form a pathway leading to the private space. Above the piano lounge is a circle with indirect lightings, echoing the circular chandelier in the kitchen. The spatial design has set a relaxing scene for the family to depict a harmonious family portrait.



In addition, the light color and warm lights moderate the stone TV wall, creating an airy sense. The elegant smoky colors and subtle muted blues run through the space, setting calmness. The dark wooden colors on the pathways secures the fluidity while adding dynamics. Longer furniture such as the dining table and the kitchen counter connect sections of the common space, and with the strip lights and the raised ceiling, the streamline conveys various scenery during the day. The well-designed flow spontaneously guides the users into the private space.
