About Ink Moon Residence
Ink Moon is a residential interior in Taipei, Taiwan, covering about 110 square meters. The palette of black, gray, and white recalls the soft gradations of traditional ink wash painting. Stone-textured panels, matte and titanium-plated metals, and indirect lighting keep the dark space softly luminous. The entryway holds a screen cabinet that combines a visual focal point with storage. Hexagonal floor tiles mark the transition between areas, and a dark wood ceiling anchors the living room. A curved display unit behind the sofa softens the heavy materials.

- Moreover, the floor is adorned with sophisticated hexagonal tiles in shades of black, white, and gray, which not only add depth to the aesthetic but also clearly delineate the transition between the interior and exterior spaces. As they move into the living room, visitors find a dark wood ceiling that acts as a stunning visual anchor, drawing the eye upward and adding warmth to the environment.
