Happiness

Residence for SHISHAN

Uroomage took a minimalist style to create different imagery for each space. For color, the design team used white and gray to create a refreshing and minimalistic look and to shape a serene and comfortable atmosphere. Faced with the disadvantage of short beams, the design team used curves and light to embellish the minimalist style. The flooring, cabinets, and lines are weaved in the space with moderate white space, conveying the true meaning of minimalist style that makes people relax. On the other side, the warm-colored bedroom gives people a sense of relief.

Unique Properties

In the public area, the huge pillars are eliminated by simplifying the design and enlarging the entrance. The curved corners of the turning corridor create a sense of ritual of coming home. In addition, many storage rooms are added to meet the storage needs of a family of four. To encourage children to go out of their rooms and to increase interaction among family members, the client wanted a spacious living room. The design team combined the TV wall with the closet in the children's room, with a double-sided cabinet to eliminate the wall needed for a partition to achieve revitalized storage and functionality.

Production Technology

The space is based on white and gray, with a special coating of beige as the overlay to present the elegant style in the public area. The curved ceiling is covered by gray special paint and the wooden flooring is warm, creating a harmonious aesthetic. On the next side, the suspended TV wall enhances the transparency and injects a touch of warmth into the space. The dining and kitchen areas continue the same elements, incorporating natural stone, wood veneer, and ironwork to form a wonderful highlight on the facade.

Design Challenge

The open plan of the public area is defined only by curved surfaces and light. The foyer, living room, dining room, and storage room are connected to create better spatial continuity and visual amplification, while the circulation is guided by materials and design techniques. At the same time, the design team set up storage in the same area to avoid the compression of space by scattered cabinets. In the private area, the bedroom is in a restrained design. The design team wrapped the beams with a sloped ceiling and embedded light boxes in the ceiling instead of chandeliers or track lights.

Project Duration

The project finished in August 2022 in Taiwan.

Operation Flow

Despite the square layout of the site, the beams and columns are quite large, so the interior has a strong sense of oppression. To solve the structural disadvantage, the design team used curved trim on the walls of the storage room, and the lighting to lighten the space visually. The kitchen is divided into sections according to the open plan. The sliding glass door brings in light from the balcony and creates a bright glass box-like effect. While mom and dad cook, the kids play and watch TV in the living room, which is a cozy daily life for this family.

Research

The project focuses on 'people' and took a minimalist style with various materials to showcase delicate textures and colors under the daylight. The minimalistic residence has a unique view and lighting due to its height. The interior features open and interconnected traffic flow. The entrance is paved with stone-patterned tiles and decorated with natural stone on the walls. At the same time, the design team removed unnecessary walls to create a more spacious scale that embodies minimalism and grandeur. The curves, simple lines, and diverse material combinations enrich the look.

Inspiration

The site is a new 138.8 square meter apartment in Taoyuan, the happy home of a doctor and a nurse. During the discussion, the design team felt that they respected each other's freedom and spiritual independence. The director of Uroomage, Jazmin Lin, therefore applied curves, minimalistic lines, and a variety of materials to create a spacious and grand residence. The restrained and elegant style allows the residents to become the protagonist in the space.
