The Depth of Space
Residential for Yu [ i ] Design Studio
To achieve a transparent space depth, the designer applied mirrors to decrease beam-columns between the living room and the dining room; the characteristics of mirrors expanded the visual space even more. The mirrors are extended towards the walls at an L angle that has smoothly formed a scenic view. The wall delivers layers of emotions through hardware, lights, and shadows. Furthermore, the designer applied for Italy-imported special stone plates; the glaze-looking unique grains of the plates are used as the base of the scene while echoing with the paint grains of the ceiling.

Unique Properties
Reorganized the spatial using a T shape as the base of the traffic flow design while combing the progressive light and shadow effects of the north and west natural sunlight. To solve the original roundabout, narrow and multi-compartment situation, consider the demands of the changes of family members and lifestyles and replaced the actual private area with the master bedroom and the secondary bedroom; while hoping to offer the client and pets an expansive and free traffic flow. Based on those needs, the designer designed the ceiling with an open-ended design.

Design Challenge
How to present a more penetrating visual effect in the space is the designer priority consideration and challenge in the space modification. Due to the changes of the client family members, the original three-bedroom cubicle has become a historical memory that needs to be adjusted slightly. Considering the activity habits of the three members of the family members and the two pets, in this case, the designer arranged the original roundabout and separated space as a freer, more penetrating line of life.
Project Duration
The project finished in 2020 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The designer applied a T-shaped spatial design to rearrange the original roundabout and divided space, also used the lightings of the west and north windows to solve dim issues. With the strong and weak layers of lights and shadows, scenery emotions for each area are created. The study that is located at the depths of the structure is not only being used as a scenic view; the designer used both sides of the sliding door that allow users to function more conveniently and freely.
Research
Using a T-shape as the base of public traffic flow planning, the sunlight from both sides of the windows has outlined a progressive space depth. At the same time, the designer applied the open-ended designing method and the cohesion ratio of different materials that combine light and shadow gradients to achieve a smooth and free traffic flow while connecting emotions from both sides. To improve the original low ceiling that caused visual pressure, the designer opened up the ceiling area using oil painting-like special paints as the main body of the structure.
Inspiration
We hope to give new depth meanings to the space, reorganize the plane and redefine the lighting axis; deliver a rich visual sense through different light and shadow angles, and expand the vitality within the low-limit area. Using clear sight to measure space ratio, Yui Designs has reorganized the original spatial that was multi-cut; special paints with changing layers are used at the ceiling dome to create an oil painting visual depth of field. With the sunlight from the north and west, layers of emotions are built up to deliver a free traffic flow and vitality.
