Unique Properties

Seeking to evoke the vision of a beautiful life through a minimalist and bright space, this design employs simplicity and open spaces, using natural light to blend the interior with the outdoor environment, creating a poetic living space that blurs the boundaries of everyday life. With a single unit per floor, the design shapes an ideal duplex lifestyle, enhancing the spaciousness and comfort of the area while bringing the natural seascape indoors to elevate the allure of the space. As the sunlight pours in, it illuminates a rich tapestry of home life.

Production Technology

The design rejects overly intricate decorations in favor of sleek, streamlined lines that clearly define each area while maintaining a bright and fresh atmosphere. The use of a single, understated color palette seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. The entrance immediately draws the eye to the spiral staircase, precisely crafted in terms of position, size, and form. The staircase is complemented by a gold hollow railing that adds a touch of refined elegance. Coupled with the sophisticated lines of imported furniture and ambient lighting, the space transforms into a pure and comfortable daily retreat.

Design Challenge

Addressed the vertical beam structure of the duplex, using thoughtful design strategies to soften any visual imbalances. The spiral staircase was carefully designed to serve both as a functional element and as a visual highlight, ensuring that it enhances the overall aesthetic of the space. This approach not only solved the structural challenges but also elevated the interior design to new levels of sophistication.

Project Duration

The project finished in March 2023 in Tainan, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

The concept revolves around the efficient use of space and meticulous attention to detail, employing natural materials and soft color tones to create a cozy and open ambiance. The design emphasizes simplicity and clarity, stripping away superfluous elements to achieve a sleek, harmonious interior. Large windows flood the space with natural light, and a spiral staircase acts as a central feature, connecting the levels of the duplex with a flair of elegance and functionality. The overall effect is one of modern simplicity, where gentle lighting and natural colors create a serene environment for everyday relaxation.

Research

This project involved a raw, unfinished duplex space. The design challenge required a focus on optimizing spatial dimensions, ensuring smooth vertical and horizontal flow within the layout while leveraging the height and structure of the duplex. The aim was to link the interior with the outdoor ocean view, bringing the view inside, enhancing the spaciousness, and creating a minimalist yet elegantly sophisticated modern home of their dreams.

Inspiration

The homeowners desire a minimalist, bright, and comfortable living environment that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces. They seek to connect their home with the surrounding landscape while maximizing natural light to create a spacious view. The goal is to seamlessly blend functional living areas with an elegant, modern touch, capturing the pure essence of everyday life.
