Design Details

Unique Properties
On the left side of the wall, a mottled texture of the paint is used to mimic the effect of rock board, and the stainless steel plate material is connected to show the rough modeling wall, while hiding the electric box seat. The structural columns on both sides of TV wall are covered with wood veneer and stone respectively, and the left side is decorated with arc, combined with a hidden light strip; while the stone on the right side extends the exhibition area.
Inspiration
This case is a renovation of the old house, whose owner is a young couple. The overall space tonality takes the modern humanistic style favored by the owner as the trend, regards the stone material as the inspiration in design, and combines the natural texture of art paint to create the effect of imitation rock slab. Through the simplicity and consistency of the overall shape and the integration of storage function in the corner line making a spacious, enlarged sense of space.
Research
The entrance wall uses mottled texture paint to imitate the natural chisel surface of rock slab effect, and is paired with stainless steel plate material to show the gradual visual beauty. To modify more problems of beams and columns, the white and simple ceiling is combined with curved lines to create a neat and harmonious high and low ceiling, integrating the space and function of public area to achieve visual amplification.
Challenge
The size of rock on the right side of TV wall is large, which cannot be carried into elevator. Therefore, it is cut into four pieces, each weighing about 100 kg, and carried in different times. In the installation method, the rock must be locked on the structural column and ceiling, which is more labor-intensive.
Realization and Technology
In terms of material arrangement, natural texture elements such as rock panels, iron pieces and compressed stones are mainly adopted. Solid wood bark such as walnut and elm is selected, and natural shapes such as mountain grain are used to highlight the modern humanistic home texture. With respect to color plan, the back wall of sofa is based on gray, and the kitchen utensils and hidden doors use milk tea color to create a low-key and warm space atmosphere.
Operation and Interaction
Due to the small size of space and the needs of family members in the future, the public area is regarded as the focus of life, and the living room and kitchen space are integrated with open pattern planning to enhance the interaction frequency and the need for cohesion of emotions among family members. The storage function makes use of the moving line of space turns, concentrated on the facade of the porch to TV wall, so that the spatial scale is extended and enlarged.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in April 2023 and finished in October 2023 in Taiwan.
