DESIGN NAME: Peach Blossom
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residence
INSPIRATION: The host has stringent requirements for materials and texture. The designer offers bold and innovative suggestions, using "The Peach Blossom Spring" as inspiration for the circulation, while incorporating the peony, as depicted by early Qing dynasty painter Yun Shouping, as the main visual element. Various materials come together to create a unique modern installation art piece. Each large wall is designed like a work of art, transforming the home into a gallery that beautifully showcases the interplay of art and daily life.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspired by 'The Peach Blossom Spring,' the designer envisions each home area as a boat drifting along a river, revealing changing sceneries. The living room features a mountain-shaped ceiling and a peony installation behind the sofa, evoking a vacation-like ambiance. This intricate artwork, crafted from four materials and 70-plus panels, is hand-assembled in 13 layers. Like a Yun Shouping painting, it becomes a cherished heirloom. The dining area boasts a striking wall with thin tiles and gold-leaf sconces, resembling a sun against a night sky, harmonizing beautifully with a nearby Earth painting.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The space features a patchwork and layering approach with diverse materials. The wine cellar combines rugged stone and titanium gold, contrasting raw nature with refined elegance. The master bathroom's sink boasts a gold leaf surface layered with crystal glass, enhancing luxury and giving the home an art gallery feel. A specially designed host's room reflects the homeowner's preferences, with a screen dividing social and private areas at night. Louvered panels replace curtains, while a dark color scheme creates an immersive personal retreat.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in 2021 in Taiwan.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The space incorporates special paint, spray paint, mirrors, fabric, granite, cypress wood, grilles, and engineered hardwood flooring. Various marbles with distinct hues and patterns, combined with imported thin tiles, create a naturally rugged aesthetic. Modern elements like titanium gold contrast raw textures, as seen in the TV wall, where crystalline granite subtly glows under concealed lighting. The bathrooms feature a black-and-white contrast with gold accents, exuding sophistication and grandeur.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The total area of the site is 109 square meters, featuring four bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and two bathrooms.
The residence is specifically designed for retirement living, meticulously planned to accommodate a leisurely and convenient lifestyle. The kitchen has been expanded to provide a more spacious layout and enhanced functionality, making daily cooking easier and more enjoyable. The entrance area includes a dedicated gentleman's room, designed to enjoy cigars, with a separate access route to avoid disrupting family activities.
