Warm Gift
Residence for Xingshi Design
The project is a fusion of French and Wabi-sabi styles, with a graceful atmosphere created by the circular arcs and spacious routes. The interior is designed for the user experience. Large floor-to-ceiling windows allow for natural light and air circulation, enhancing comfort. Walking through the large foyer and the white curved archway, the floor is scratch-resistant, anti-abrasive, and easy to clean, allowing the dogs to run around as much as they want. They bring warmth and vibrancy to the space, making the interior harmonious.

Unique Properties
Combining the aesthetics of French and Wabi-sabi: This design style emphasizes minimalistic, naturalness, and purity of aesthetics while focusing on simplicity and refinement. Curves are a key feature, giving the space a softer and more fluid look. Huge, curved ceiling: The designer divided the public area into two with an oval shape, which eliminates the disadvantage of the beams in the living room. The concave curves provide a space for the ceiling to extend upward, while the interior is fitted with linear lights and air conditioning vents to form a neat and bright ceiling.

Production Technology
Building materials: mineral paint, slab tiles, woodwork, tawny glass, iron parts, laminate flooring, etc. Pure light brown is the main visual, with the delicate texture of the mineral paint constructing a soft and elegant tone. For pets, the herringbone laminate flooring is paved, which presents a delicate and warm texture. The whole space has a serene and cozy atmosphere like the warm earth so that both pets and people can enjoy their lives.
Design Challenge
There were three challenges during the execution of the project. First, there were large beams in the ceiling. The designer used an elliptical shape in the ceiling to trim the sharp angles. Secondly, the site was leaking, so the foundation work had to be strengthened. Lastly, the client treated pets like family, so the building materials must be scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to clean. With the above solutions, the designer succeeded in creating an aesthetically designed and functional residence.
Project Duration
The project finished in December 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
As a space to serve one person, the designer fully considered the client's needs and lifestyle and flexibly adjusted the layout based on these needs and feedback. For example, the dressing room is connected by two bedrooms, the double routes are created according to the size of the foyer and the TV wall, the open plan of the public area allows pets to run freely, and the master bedroom has a semi-height wall for interaction with pets. The careful arrangement can enhance practicality and convenience, and increase the living quality.
Research
The name of the project, 'Warm Gift', comes from the client's expectations and vision of life. As a home for one person, comfort and convenience are essential. The designer balanced the French style with the Wabi-sabi style according to the client idea. The designer used classic elements such as curves and creamy white to complement the high-floor lighting of the site. Moreover, the client has a beloved pet, so the project chose pet-friendly materials and arranged the layout according to the pet's needs.
Inspiration
The client wanted a soft French style with stone textures as a highlight. However, after understanding the client's needs, the designer provided professional advice and adjustments, defining the theme as a creamy white wabi-sabi style and adding gold elements to the details to shape a sense of luxury. The designer looked for the common ground between French and wabi-sabi styles and took a symmetrical design to illustrate the French style while presenting a sense of serenity in the layout.
