Calm And Repose Residential Building

Calm and Repose Residential Building is an exemplary residential architectural project that embodies modern minimalist design principles, distinguished by its harmonious integration of natural elements and sophisticated material selection. Located in Taiwan, this 430-square-meter residence, designed by Chi Wei Lin and Yu Chih Chang, demonstrates exceptional spatial planning and interior architecture that prioritizes tranquility and connection with the surrounding environment. The design philosophy centers on creating a laid-back ambiance through the thoughtful application of simple and plain textures, effectively blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. The interior features a striking television wall adorned with large stone grain tiles, creating an impressive visual focal point upon entry. The sophisticated material palette includes leather wall mountings in irregular sizes and brushed wood veneers that extend from the floor, masterfully balancing the cold solidity of stone with warmer organic elements. This architectural achievement, recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category in 2020, exemplifies how contemporary residential design can successfully merge functionality with aesthetic refinement. The project's emphasis on natural quality is evident in its creative incorporation of local environmental features, establishing a sustainable and harmonious living environment that transcends mere decorative inclusion of natural elements.
