Combining two units into one spacious apartment, this project is designed for three generation family. Due to the symmetrical rectangular layout, the private personal space such as the bedrooms are arranged on both sides, and the public space such as the living room, two kitchen (Chinese/Western style), and dining room, are placed in the center to bond the relationship of the family. The theme of the whole space is "modern orient" and " simplicity ".
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With the owner's collection, traditional oriental elements are presented in a modern design style. The aim is to pass on the traditional culture but simplify unnecessary part, focus on the essential needs, and embrace all cultural differences.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Guests chat and laugh in the spacious living room. In contrast, the tea room is more silent. The wing-shaped chandelier made of metal wire brings light to the tea room. The golden and majestic shrine guards home throughout the day. The wall of the long corridor is a huge artwork. It looks like a Chinese ink wash painting is painted directly across the white wall. Diffusing ink blots and smooth brush stroke are viewed as natural impromptu to express oriental spirit.

It looks like a string instrument that can produce pleasant music. Its graceful curves and its reflections in the mirror soften the entranceway. The oncoming metal grilles are combined with slate bars. Its interesting shape is like a Xylophone with the mellow sound quality and waiting for guests to play a wonderful song.
