Birds Flying High Residential Interior

Birds Flying High Residential Interior is an innovative residential refurbishment project completed in 2019 in Taipei City, Taiwan, that masterfully integrates feng shui principles with contemporary design elements to create a nurturing living environment. The 149-square-meter space, featuring a ceiling height of 3.15 meters, demonstrates exceptional attention to sustainable living and adaptable design solutions. The project's conceptual foundation draws inspiration from the Chinese character HSIANG (meaning flying high), which is reflected throughout the interior through wing-like curved elements and aviation-themed motifs. The design incorporates sophisticated indirect illumination systems, carefully selected materials, and flexible furnishing solutions that accommodate the growing needs of young residents. Notable design elements include zero VOC paint applications from the 2019 color trend palette, anti-dust mite curtains, and detachable, repairable furniture pieces that maximize spatial efficiency. The interior layout underwent significant restructuring, including innovative solutions for pipeline rearrangement and the transformation of a centrally located guest restroom into a children's bedroom. The design successfully addresses architectural challenges through creative solutions, such as the redesign of a low support beam into an arched silhouette that reduces visual pressure. The project, which won a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, showcases a thoughtful balance between functional requirements and aesthetic appeal, featuring a home cinema system, broadened doorways for enhanced circulation, and strategic implementation of linear lighting tracks for intuitive wayfinding. The interior's design philosophy emphasizes long-term sustainability and adaptability, while incorporating traditional feng shui principles to optimize the space's energy flow and promote prosperity, particularly in areas designated for learning and personal growth.
