Ease in the Woods
Residential for WI.Design
Gratings that are used in many ways to hide the private area, the L-shaped sofa that is placed towards the French windows, and the simple decorations have all embodied the Italian Minotii style. The designer hoped to make the views part of the interior and eliminate partition designs; yet, essential requirements are also considered. Therefore, semi-screens are made in particular ways and placed within the space to give flexibility to the future owner of the house.

Production Technology
Ease in the Woods is a model house, which will be shown to many clients after construction. The project is located in a high-function neighborhood and is the first choice for citizens who wish to move into a new environment. The overall emits a relaxing and comfy vibe, while wooden materials are used to outline a warm yet refreshing spatial feeling. The designer spotted the advantages above and placed all kinds of ingenuity throughout the space, not to only meet the requirements of living but also fulfill expectations of users to be living in the space.
Design Challenge
Spaces are made for humans. The designer has been embodying this concept and would always understand the living requirements through conversations as if clothes should be worn to deliver unique characteristics. However, Ease in the Woods is a model house that hasn had a particular owner yet. Hence, creating a design that most people will be fond of was the goal of this project. The designer went through challenges that tested the accuracy of observation and calibration to bring the beautiful views into the interior harmoniously finally.
Project Duration
The project finished in October 2020 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
Ease in the Woods is a construction project containing the highest public area ratio and greenery in Linkou District. It is also located in a quiet neighborhood with streets surrounding it. After people have been fighting and struggling in the city for quite some time, they want to save some quality time for themselves; the designer aimed to create a living environment for these people. A massive number of French windows are set up with situational lightings to deliver a relaxing spatial feeling.
Research
Spatial arrangements and interior designs are inseparable. Within the transparent and expansive space, the designer eliminated partition walls and placed high functional television walls and a kitchen island to increase functionality secretly. This project can almost fulfill expectations from all kinds of clients. It has an unintentional configuration, a relaxing and breathtaking overlooking view, a modern Italian overall style, and most importantly, the heartfelt feeling for users to enjoy everyday life with the ones they love and cherish.
Inspiration
Ease in the Woods is a model house. The designer first evaluated the geographical conditions and natural advantages and concluded to design the space for those starting their retirement life. Hence, a highly functional kitchen and relaxing mahjong area are created. At the same time, since the space is located on a high floor with an overlooking view of the city, the overall interior is set up with semi-screens instead of partitions to give flexibility to users.
