The designer creates a home for the clients based on their preferences and also decorates the space with the conception of blessing
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Uses black and white curved columns to symbolize the "harmony of mountain and water" in the entrance. Black represents mountain and white is water, the two colors just like Yin and Yang in Chinese culture. The black mountain is made of wood and painted with black bronze lacquer, while the white is made of wave gradient with lighting strips to express the image of water. The two circles of the ceiling are formed into an eight-character, one circle with twelve lights to represent the four seasons of the year, and the other with eight lights to represent the Chinese character (fortune).
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: To suit the preferences of the clients, the designer uses color blocks and volatile curves in the space. The designer uses a curved TV wall to cut out the audio-visual room and the living room to create a unique vision, echo the theme, and enhance the radio effect of the audio-visual room. The glass on the two sides of the curved wall is chamfered and cut with 2.4cm and 0.8cm to present a crystal look, with the reflection of light to enhance the atmosphere. In addition, there are many wave-like designs in the space to symbolize water, such as water-ripple wood flooring and wave-like cabinets.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The designer focuses on creating a comfortable, calm, and elegant atmosphere. The designer uses dark colors in the public area with the luster of stone and metal to create an elegant and tasteful residence. The private area is designed in the clients favorite style. The man's side is designed in brown and gray tones with classical molding and a comfortable bedroom, creating a European classical style. The woman's side is painted in mint green and equipped with a sliding door where paintings can be collected behind it, making it seem like a European palace.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This project is a 214-square-meter, 25-year-old house on the 7th floor. It has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an audio-visual room. Last but not least, the window view is the National Palace Museum. The building materials are natural, such as the mountain in the wall of the living room and limestone in the dining room. In the audio-visual room, the designer uses wood flooring with water ripples to integrate the image of mountains and water into the interior space.
TAGS: Large house, National Palace Museum, Shanshui, Rabbit, Middle East.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The ultimate goal of the designer is to create the clients dream home. This project combines classical European style, oriental landscape imagery, and the clients memories in the Middle East. The golden mountain imagery on the living room wall echoes the view of the National Palace Museum surrounded by mountains outside the window, and the curved TV wall with diamond-cut glass is bright and elegant.
CHALLENGE: The building is 25 years old and has a low ceiling height. To meet the clients requirement, 14 air conditioners, lighting, built-in audio, and fire sprinkler are installed inside the house, resulting in many restrictions on the installation of piping and ceilings. In addition to the strict restrictions of the building, the foundation work is time-consuming. Fortunately, the ceiling not only satisfies the clients but also matches the main design.
