Purrfect for Two

Residence for Shih-shih Interior Design Co., Ltd.

This case is initially a 40 square meters living space with one side 60cm lower. This small space is divided into two by the difference of height. Thus, the designer tries to make a good use of the situation, arranging two stores on the sunken side, creating a comfortable living space customized for an owner and a cat. A wavy flow meandering as the axis of the space prevents lines from forming too many corners. Through a great skill applying various materials and techniques, the designer strikes a great balance between functions and aesthetics in the space.

Production Technology

While dark grey is set as the main tone of the public area, coating, wood flooring, glass bricks, and plaster, these materials, build the texture of the whole space. Some dark pink items and paints decorate the private area, making the mature and restrained personality shine with an elegant charisma. Two French windows introduce enough natural lights, while the embedded streamlined lights brighten up specific areas.

Design Challenge

The flow of the space goes smoothly from one floor to another. Through a great skill applying various materials and techniques, the designer strikes a great balance between functions and aesthetics in the space.

Project Duration

The project finished in January 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

The curve-lined big sofa between the wall and the staircases allows one to enjoy the sunlight at the corner. While the big-size design offers spaces for friends and family to gather together and chat, it can also serve as a bed for the guest when one visits.

Research

Titanium plating scratch-resistance surface of the steel material covers the wall of the kitchen. Horizontal continuous design creates a smooth flow, while a palette of darker colors deepen the spatial perception.The kitchen desktop and TV cabinets are connected to each other. With the same material used on the wall and continuous steel shelving extending till the windows, these two functional areas are combined as a whole.

Inspiration

Considering the need of the cat, the staircases are lower and a hole on the wall near the entrance is designed for it. Not influencing the comfort in the public space, the designer maximizes the smoothness of the flow and size of the storage rooms, creating a sense of security of the owner's wish.
