This interior design planning project is a residence with a total living area of approximately 350 square meters. The layout of the home is quite neat and proportionately balanced. Because the client's preference of style is not limited, and the client takes the livability, comfort, functionality, and the human touch of the house seriously, the designer has put much emphasis on planning an interactive, flexible, and textured shared living space.
Peach Blossom Future Villa is a group of 56 single family houses set in a mountain scenic area in Anji, Zhejiang, China. The design follows the idea of uniting heaven, earth and humanity. Inspired by the traditional Chinese stilt house, each villa rests on three steel columns, which limit changes to the steep terrain and give a light appearance. Large glass walls form the enclosure and stress the horizontal extension, so the houses appear as glass boxes floating within the alpine landscape. Steel, glass and board finish concrete weather gracefully on the site.

Sunlight is a residential interior design for a three-bedroom home with two living areas. The layout allows a family of four to share an open public space and still keep private rooms. The living room, study and kitchen are connected, and furniture volumes define each function and guide a circular flow. A Nordic palette of grey, white and wood grain echoes the surrounding farmland, sea and city views. White paint forms the base, while wood grain on walls and ceiling softens an exposed beam. The master bedroom adds blue, and the children's rooms use pink, grey and blue.
This design represents a clever interplay of architecture and psychology, where the panoramic seascape takes center stage, supported by a design that respects both the need for open, transformative space and the reassuring embrace of defined living areas. The balcony with its Jacuzzi and swing chair becomes an intermediary space, blending indoors with the outside, and highlighting structural safety as a key aspect of the installation.
The project is the fusion of two buildings, an abandoned one from the 70's with the building from the current era and the element that was designed to unite them is the pool. It is a project that has two main uses, the 1st as a residence for a family of 5 members, the 2nd as an art museum, with wide areas and high walls to receive more than 300 people. The design copies the back mountain shape, the city's iconic mountain. Only 3 finishes with light tones are used in the project to make the spaces shine through the natural light that is projected on the walls, floors and ceilings.
SoTai 3c is a residential interior design for an apartment of 152.7 square meters in Taiwan. The layout includes three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, an open center island kitchen, two bathrooms and a balcony. The style is based on neoclassical architecture, with musical and playful elements and integrated artworks. Creamy gray and warm white tones unify the rooms. A wall of amethyst white jade marble frames a white piano in the living room. A hidden door separates the public area from the private bedrooms.
The project is a commercial endeavor where maintaining cost was crucial. However, an ideal proposal that balances economic considerations and embraces the open seascape, lightweight structure, and rustic beauty was realized. The design involved modifying an approximately 100 square meters indoor area by removing a partition wall to capture an invaluable view. The entrance features a raised platform with a wash and sand function. It's connected by stairs to different bedrooms and the entryway, leading to a semi-outdoor Jacuzzi on the balcony, which forms the core of the design.
Idyllic Forest Living is a residential interior design in Taichung, Taiwan. The 157 square meter home follows passive house principles to limit energy use. Green materials are applied, such as low formaldehyde cabinets, non-toxic latex paint and water-saving bathroom fixtures. The color palette combines gray with vivid tones, and the living and dining rooms feature marble. Two television walls carry a cement texture finish that changes color under different lighting. The study also serves as a guest room, and the dining table extends when needed.
Luminous Minimalism is a residential interior design for a 76 square meter home in Taipei. The layout follows minimalist principles and feng shui, arranging multi-functional zones that support both social gatherings and private retreat. Linear lighting with adjustable scenes shapes the dining area, while a curved television wall acts as a focal point and holds hidden storage. Textured wood floors add warmth, and specialized plaster walls moderate humidity. Metal fixtures and a neutral color scheme complete the calm interior.
The Chen home transformed the old building into a modern house, using hollow bricks, squeezed stones and gray aluminum grilles to create a transparent and private house. Indoors, wood veneer, earth-colored tiles, paints and other local materials are used, which are environmentally friendly and show regional characteristics. The design line is simple, presenting the desire for real life, and creating a warm and personalized living space, Reflect the exquisiteness of life from simplicity and comfort.
Taking objects as subjects, spatial arrangement is translated into a treasure chest of memories, capturing the passages of history and melding them into the future. Study serves as centerpiece of public space, with semi open corner ports on both sides. Two materials are adopted to produce an opaque and slightly secluded character of the study. A wooden sliding door encloses an extensive collection of bookcases between its opening and closing, enabling viewpoints to travel back and forth between the public areas.
The idea was to maximise the corner lot building plinth using rounded corners or rounded edges, the filleted streamlined form in response to the tropics, designated programmes and its neighbourhood. Viewing the building from the street level, a staggered filleted mass was elevated vigorously from its surrounding. The palettes of materials combined the white, black, and grey curved solid planes with touches of timber and transparency of glasses, streamlining a form which is manly standing out within its neighbourhood.
