Stone Rhyme
Residence for Mikaiyi Design
In the space decorated with stone, each piece of stone collage embellishment is just like nature's painting showing the high quality of life. The designers skillfully took the natural texture of the stone to create a harmonious, stable, and cozy space, which makes people feel like they are in the quiet mountains. The high ceiling and glass doors and windows bring in natural light, weakening the boundaries between the space. The vastness of nature and the coziness of the home are blended in this home.

Unique Properties
The uniqueness of this project lies in the revitalization of the high ceiling and the use of subtle and unique decoration techniques. The marble pattern is matched with the corresponding wall behind the sofa, while the wall next to the staircase is covered with wavy panels to trim the beams and columns. The ceiling, floor, and walls are covered with marbles of different colors and patterns. There are a lot of stone patterns in the social and private areas. The designers arranged the color scheme meticulously. In the open social area, warm neutral colors make the spaciousness unobstructed and warm.

Production Technology
The project makes extensive use of stone, tile, veneer, and sheet. The designers used marble and solid wood veneer combined with bright natural lighting from large floor-to-ceiling windows to shape a spacious and vibrant image. The client's distinctive taste in marble is fully realized. From the floor to the walls and every detail, the materials match the marble achieving consistency and elegance.
Design Challenge
The designers faced two challenges. The first was to remodel the huge false beam in the living room. The false beam, due to its large size, was heavy and oppressive and made the spacious space look especially narrow. The design team precisely considered the structure and removed it to restore the openness of the space. Secondly, the curved design of the staircase.
Project Duration
The project finished in February 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The family of six is very pleased and appreciative of the remodeling of their home, and they especially like the new look of the living room and kitchen. Not only do these areas greatly enhance the living experience, but they also provide great conditions for communication and gathering among family members. In the well-designed and planned kitchen, the addition of a dining table and new induction hub have made everyday life much easier, while successfully establishing this area as the center of family interaction.
Research
Based on the client's preference and desire for stone, the design team applied a subtle and unique design to the ceiling, floor, and walls. By hiding the structure of the beams and covering the spotlight with the stone parquet, the team created an aesthetic that surrounds and flows. The wavy design under the staircase modifies the beams, further emphasizing the depth of the field. Warm neutral colors make the spaciousness unobstructed and warm. In the private area, cool neutrals are preferred for meditation. Wooden panels and grilles in the details weaken the rigidity of the stone.
Inspiration
In response to the client's request, this interior design project is dedicated to deconstructing and reshaping the oppression caused by the high ceiling in the living room. In particular, the removal of a huge false beam that was over-decorated restored the sense of expansiveness of the space. The project emphasizes maximizing natural light. In terms of details, to satisfy the client's pursuit of high-quality life, the team installed an induction hub in the kitchen and placed a dressing table in the master bedroom to enhance practicality and aesthetics.
