Versatile and soft Maillard Style, implanting more brown tonality to create a caramel covered visual effect, and light interpretation is the use of yellow light to integrate Maillard Style.

Design Challenge

Before the design of dining area, considering the young age of the owner's children, the need to place cameras to look after the young children, and the owner has the habit of collecting vintage wines, the designer will integrate the line outlet and food preparation storage into the dining cabinet, which is not only convenient to use, but also can keep the table clean, and reserve the glass display space next to provide the owner to display and store wines. Besides, the outer frame of the original cabinet is packed to integrate the overall sense of space. At the same time, the woodworking method is used to make the end of edge more secure. The whole is like the textured mini bar, supplemented by tea mirror and white wooden grille, so that the space line can spread to the kitchen and connect the kitchen space.

Project Duration

The project started in May 2024 and finished in September 2024 in Taiwan.

Operation Flow

The designer extends the fallout area horizontally to lengthen the use scope of vestibule visually. The inside is put into a shoe cabinet, and the outside is used as a vestibule cabinet to strengthen the multiple functions of vestibule. Furthermore, the wooden grille and stone grain of TV wall, as well as the stone brick of the inked landscape painting with sofa back wall of the leather cloth, with the sofa cabinet and drawer of half waist are not only artistic but also have the function of storage, while broadening the vision of sofa back wall, and make the living room look more tidy.

Research

The original house had four rooms, but to accommodate the owner's desire for a larger master bedroom and a dressing room for his wife and two young daughters, the designer reconfigured the layout. The bedroom door was repositioned, and a sliding door was added between the dressing room and the master bedroom, creating a more organized and functional flow. This design ensures an easy transition from dressing room to bedroom while enhancing the mood for sleep. For Feng Shui considerations, the bed was placed against a wall with extended fabric accents and a grey wall panel with silver trim, adding softness to the space.

Inspiration

This case aims to create a durable home environment for the owner and his family, and create a warm living space that can accompany the child's growth. This case is with an area of 88.5 square meters, living members of a family of four, and the owner of the couple relocated due to work, is expected to accompany the growth of two daughters here. The owner hopes to enlarge the efficiency of space use, deal with Feng Shui issues, and create a durable space that can be used conveniently and comfortably.
