Production Technology

Creating a sense of harmony entails achieving an impeccable blend of materials, functionality, and technology. This involves the creation of a Smart Home that seamlessly incorporates conventional outlet wall plates. For instance, the under-bed lighting can intelligently illuminate the floor without causing disruptions for others by activating upon detection. Every appliance is thoughtfully positioned, seamlessly integrating into the space. This includes a dual-access refrigerator, capable of opening from both left and right sides, as well as a water dispenser that can automatically boil and chill drinking water.

Design Challenge

As the owner chose to renovate only a portion of the house, ensuring a seamless transition between the new and old sections becomes paramount. By utilizing materials from the original space, the design team has successfully maintained the charm of aged and uneven walls, harmoniously merging the freshly furnished areas with the vintage interior. This approach exemplifies a timeless design ethos.

Project Duration

The project finished in January 2023 in Taiwan.
