Pure White Moments

Located in Taoyuan, the project benefits from excellent natural lighting and generous ceiling height. The designer therefore adopted “Pure White Moments” as the central theme, introducing subtle rugged elements within a minimalist and pristine palette. This approach reflects the homeowner’s personality while preserving the gentle character of family life.

The design strategy centers on the addition of a mezzanine platform, allowing the original double-height space to extend into a multifunctional level where work, social gatherings, and relaxation can shift freely within the same environment. White serves as the dominant tone throughout the interior, while layered materials introduce texture and warmth within the minimalist composition.

The most distinctive feature of the space lies in the staircase and mezzanine structure. The designer introduced metal mesh into the interior, using it as both the staircase screen and mezzanine railing. Commonly found in outdoor or industrial environments, the material was finished with white powder coating, transforming it into a lightweight yet characterful interior element.

The metal mesh maintains visual permeability while adding a crisp industrial accent, allowing a subtle ruggedness to emerge within the pure white environment.

The staircase itself integrates multiple functions. The first step is designed as a storage compartment, maximizing the use of limited floor space, while the area beneath the stairs becomes an entryway seating zone and storage cabinet, naturally forming the entrance circulation.

The handrail is crafted from curved steel tubing, introducing a soft visual line within the predominantly straight geometry of the white interior, preventing the space from appearing overly rigid.

Additionally, within the L-shaped structure connecting the staircase and television wall, the designer embedded lighting elements. At night, the structure glows softly, and the light extends toward the steel countertop beneath the TV wall, creating a continuous and refined linear order throughout the space.
