Taiwan

The homeowner, a free-spirited artist, has decided to live on the outskirts of a city to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Having grown up in a village surrounded by mountains, rivers and bays, the homeowner hopes to incorporate natural elements into the abode, recreating the carefree good old days of childhood. The darker tones make rooms appear as calm and serene as mountains. To add fascinating design details to the space, the light strips can mimic the starry night sky, and the rounded door frame is like a smooth pebble, infusing the space with a distinctive personality.
After drastically adjusting the outdated layout, a generous visual depth is achieved. The width of the living room is reduced, and the balcony is enlarged to enable the homeowner to plant flowers and plants and enjoy the scenery, while the folding door connects the living room and the balcony to capture abundant light and bring nature closer. A sense of ceremony graces daily life, transforming limited floor space into a haven of unique and cherished rituals that the homeowner adores.
Charcoal grey tiles delineate the entryway. Steady gray shades extend to the kitchen, where the pendant lamp above the dining table and the strip lights on the facade brighten up the space. The warm and mellow scene provided a sense of comfort and reassurance upon returning home. The skin-friendly wood flooring leads to the living room. The TV wall maintains a consistent dark tone and offers ample storage space. A display cabinet and curved elements provide visual breathing space, avoiding the oppressiveness of large volumes.
