The project forms the living environment to interact with its inhabitants and echoes their way of living. By rearranging the space distribution, an intermediary corridor is created to function as the neutral space and the junction where the lives and different personalities of the family member engage. In this project, residents’ personal characters are the key to the design and profoundly embedded in the space, resonating with the main design philosophy of this project. Therefore, this residence reflects the lifestyle by incorporating the way of living into interior.

Ya Chieh Lin, born with strong appreciation of art, beauty and elegant lifestyle, developed her design sensibility over the interest in art and travel where she found her main sources of inspiration throughout the world. After completing a Bachelor of Interior Design with first class honour in Taiwan, she lived and studied in London for her postgraduate degree of Interior and Spatial Design at Chelsea College of Arts and Design, University of the Arts London. Ya Chieh became a lecturer of Interior Design Department, Chung Yuan Christian University since 2010 and established Urban Shelter Interiors Ltd. in 2017. Urban Shelter provides a platform which overcomes the limitation of geographical boundary, culture and style. It enables Ya Chieh to bring her knowledge, interest and passion for interior design to people who are in search of a harmonious urban shelter in the bustling cities.

Urban Shelter creates and develops all forms of functional spaces in the environment. Not only paying attention to ensure the details, humane aspects, and the construction execution woven into to each other seamlessly, everything is also considered and planned down to the last subtle detail across all aspects of the projects. Urban Shelter specialize in the interior design of residential, educational, commercial and office projects with extensive experience over a broad range of disciplines. It is our goal to inject the innovative design idea into the internal living space and compose the surrounding in which people can relax and integrate harmoniously.
