The reception counter, crafted from black and white marble with an organic curved shape, symbolizes an eye. Behind it, the staggered wood-grained wall adds dynamic visual interest. A feather crystal chandelier enhances the artistic ambiance. The corridor blends modernity and art, with large abstract paintings and a glass partition connecting the meeting area, creating an open, fluid layout.

Production Technology
The designer used architectural concrete, eco-friendly wood, and marble as the main materials. Architectural concrete provides a rustic, natural, and modern aesthetic with its original texture and color tone. Natural wood brings warmth and intimacy. Marble on the walls and countertops of the living room adds a touch of elegance and luxury to the space. Green building materials are aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly and emphasize the designer's commitment to sustainability and unadorned beauty.
Design Challenge
The venue has a six-meter-high ceiling with multiple columns and beams. The designer adopted a series of innovative solutions. To reduce the visual pressure of the pillars, the designer chose to cover them with materials of the same color as the surroundings to weaken the structure. Moreover, the designer also utilized lighting and shadow effects to subtly conceal the pillars, keeping the space fluid and unified. The scheme demonstrates the designer's meticulous attention to detail and technical mastery.
Project Duration
The project finished in April 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The animal forest theme in the children's playroom has received positive feedback from residents. Parents noted that the large windows enhanced playtime fun, while the vibrant colors sparked their children's creativity. The artistic atmosphere also fosters children's aesthetic development. The owner is highly satisfied with the design, finding it a perfect balance of practicality and artistry. They plan to use this design as a reference for future projects. These responses highlight the designer's creativity and professionalism.
Research
The 'Monochrome Muse' project is a shared space where color and artwork are deeply connected. The designer used a calm gray tone as the base, enhancing the artwork and creating an intellectual, elegant atmosphere. The space, resembling a gallery, features large-scale artworks, offering a visual and spiritual feast. Art elements are integrated throughout, with sculptures resembling eyes, feathers, and teardrops, symbolizing discovery and beauty. The design invites residents to experience new artistic surprises each time they enter.
Inspiration
The site is a residential building with more than 100 households. The designer's motivation is to create a different kind of living experience for the residents. She attempted to break through the framework of conventional shared facilities design and embed art in every corner of the living space. A calm gray tone is used as the base, and its inclusive nature enhances the display of artwork and sets a sensible and elegant atmosphere. The gallery-like corridor displays several large-scale artworks, bringing a visual and spiritual feast to the residents.
