Simple Carrier Residential House

Simple Carrier Residential House is an award-winning residential interior design project that exemplifies sophisticated urban living through its thoughtful integration of natural materials and contemporary aesthetics. Located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, this 228-square-meter dwelling masterfully balances functionality with artistic expression, featuring three bedrooms, one living room, one dining room, three bathrooms, and a dressing room. The design, conceived by Shiming Li, draws inspiration from cave-like structures and employs a carefully curated palette of moderate colors to create a tranquil sanctuary amid urban complexity. The space is distinguished by its innovative use of materials, including marble, wood grain grilles, gray glass, and titanium metal laminate, which collectively create a harmonious interplay of textures and surfaces. Notable architectural elements include curved windows that optimize natural light infiltration, a sophisticated marble TV wall framed by lateral symmetric wooden grilles, and a strategically designed light rail porch connecting the dining areas. The project, completed in January 2022, showcases exceptional attention to detail in its structural solutions, such as the treatment of the living room's structural beam with black mirror finishing to minimize visual impact while maintaining aesthetic sophistication. The design earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its excellence in spatial planning, material selection, and innovative design solutions. The interior's sophisticated balance of cool gray tones with highly saturated soft furnishings and amber lighting creates an environment that successfully merges rationality with sensibility, establishing a contemporary living space that prioritizes both functionality and aesthetic refinement.
