Time of Year

The client, who is nearing retirement, desires a place where he can spend time with nature. Since solid wood resonates most with him, the design team chose to use solid wood in the interior design and furnishings. In addition, the design team also realize the client's ideal tea area and meditation room according to his needs. Finally, by incorporating circular imagery and oriental concepts, the design team has created a Zen-style residence with a modern touch. The entire design combines solid wood and an Oriental Zen impression. The design team uses the warm atmosphere of solid wood to extend the rounded lines, making the image of the space more vivid. It is like living in the ancient wood and dancing with the sun and rain, wandering between heaven and earth. The living room and the tea area are designed with a retracted ceiling to imply the separation of the two sections. The receding sides are rounded with curved corners and indirect lighting. The wood grain texture pours down with the light, enveloping the public space. On the other hand, the walls and floors are painted beige to create a brighter visual effect. The meditation room is specially designed for the needs of the client. The whole room is made of wood, the windows are made of wooden blinds, and the cabinets are also in wood grain. The wood grain on the cabinets is sparse and dense, and the light and shade of the solid wood make the time more tranquil. A cup of tea and a book reveal the relaxing pace of life away from the hustle and bustle.
