PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residence
INSPIRATION: The client wishes to have a residence filled with wooden elements and extraordinary lighting conditions while being particular about Feng Shui. Hence, the designer combined professional designing skills with the concepts of Feng Shui into the project to create a mix-and-match style of Japanese, modern, and simple. The overall is decorated with white polished tiles to draw the daylight indoors; meanwhile, the walls and cabinets are painted in white to increase transparency and brightness, giving the overall a refreshing yet heartwarming vibe.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To vary the overall, a few touches of light-green colors can also be seen aside from the white main tonal to create vitality. Meanwhile, the mezzanine area with a height of 170 cm is specially designed using white wires, increasing transparency and safety while infusing a refreshing sense into the interior. Moreover, the mezzanine is set up with curtains; when opened, the space can be transformed into a guestroom from a lounge area. The designer has made well use of each space of the residence, giving the users more possibilities and flexibility in the future.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The overall is equipped with a clear traffic flow, outstanding lighting conditions, an expansive spatial feeling, and high functionality with the hands of the designer. The residence is given a new definition of living while providing the users with a heartwarming atmosphere.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: While white polished tiles are mainly used for decoration in this project, the area from the staircase to the mezzanine is paved with laminate flooring. The difference between the two is due to the materials characteristics and the areas conditions. The designer made this decision based on experience and the requirements of the owners to create the perfect living environment.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This residence, which is measured for around 40 pings, contains four bedrooms and three living rooms. Since the overall height is approximately 3.6 meters, the designer created a mezzanine area specially to maximize space effect while giving the owners more flexibility. Meanwhile, the outstanding lighting arrangements have allowed natural daylight to shine into the indoors, giving the owners a refreshing, heartwarming vivid and rustic living environment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Aside from fulfilling the client requirements regarding Feng Shui and creating a sense of transparency by bringing the daylight indoors, the designer has also combined white and light-green colors carefully to inject vitality into the residence. Furthermore, the overall is mainly decorated with white polished tiles to draw sufficient daylight while building a comforting and expansive spatial feeling. The house will be providing a relaxing environment for the family to enjoy their lives in the future.
CHALLENGE: Since the location of the worship hall is carefully decided based on Feng Shui, the overall has to be planned and designed accordingly. For example, iron frames and aluminum-framed sliding doors are specially set up next to the worship hall to prevent smoke and smell from spreading out. This ingenuity was technically and practically challenging for the design team. Yet, in the end, the outcome increases transparency visually and prevents the air quality of the indoor from being affected.
