About The Entry

The design of this 156-square-meter model room is centered around the concepts of "Nature, Family, and Modern Aesthetics," aiming to create a space that fosters multi-generational living with a focus on cultural depth and parent-child interaction. The family consists of a university professor, a primary school art teacher, two young children, and retired grandparents. Their requirements include a space that fosters a scholarly atmosphere, encourages family bonding, and accommodates various activities such as reading, cycling, nature exploration, and tea tasting.

The design integrates the hobbies and living habits of each family member, such as the male owner's interest in wine tasting, the female owner’s love of dessert making and artistic aesthetics, and the children’s passion for outdoor activities. Natural materials like stone and warm wood veneer are used to create a calm, quiet mood, reflecting the children’s need for nature exploration and enhancing the family’s warmth. The space embraces a light luxury aesthetic, focusing on high-grade neutral colors, simple shapes, and exquisite materials to create an atmosphere that emphasizes quality rather than opulence.

Each family member has their own personalized space. The boy’s room is themed around cycling, the girl’s room is inspired by nature exploration, and the elder’s room is designed to reflect a peaceful environment for poetry, books, and tea. The master bedroom offers a private retreat. The design also optimizes public spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and family balcony to facilitate parent-child interaction. The balcony is transformed into a multifunctional area with spaces for camping, reading, and family gatherings, ensuring efficient space usage.

This design emphasizes the balance between function, aesthetics, and emotion, offering a modern light luxury living experience while fostering family connection and cultural heritage. The space integrates both natural beauty and humanistic refinement, creating a peaceful and scholarly home environment that reflects the family’s unique lifestyle.
