De Between Forest and Light Ornatus Interior Domesticus

Inter Silvam et Lucem est ornatus interior domus privatae quattuor tabulatorum, disposita ad functiones domesticas cum circumiacenti regione coniungendas. Dispositio spatia communia et privata in altitudinem ordinat, ita ut quodque tabulatum certis prospectibus et lucis diurnae condicionibus congruat. Lapis, lignum et vitrum transitiones inter areas definiunt et perspicuitatem moderantur. Lumen indirectum et systemata occultata superficies puras servant. Consilium seriem spatiorum, prospectuum conformationem et lucis moderationem extollit, ut silvestris locus in vitam cotidianam inducatur.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: Between Forest and Light reinterprets vertical residential living as a layered landscape. Each floor offers a distinct relationship with nature through controlled transparency, framed views, and material variation. Curved stone walls, filtered glazing, and integrated lighting soften spatial transitions, creating a continuous yet diverse living experience that evolves from ground to top floor.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Project Type: Private Residence
Location: Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Building Height: 4 stories
Scope: Interior Design
Completion Year: 2021
Notulae: Residential interior, Vertical living, Natural light, Forest view, Material layering
Technologia Productionis: The project integrates custom stone cladding, wood panel systems, and precision glass partitions to achieve seamless transitions between spaces. Indirect lighting, concealed mechanical systems, and bespoke furniture elements are carefully coordinated to maintain visual clarity. Natural materials were selected for durability, aging quality, and their ability to enhance light reflection and spatial depth.
Provocatio Designandi: The primary challenge was designing a vertical residence that maintains spatial coherence while responding to varied programmatic needs across four levels. Another key challenge was balancing openness to the surrounding forest with privacy, environmental comfort, and structural constraints, while ensuring daylight penetration throughout the deep interior spaces.
Investigatio: This project investigates how vertical residential interiors can mediate the relationship between dense natural environments and contemporary domestic living. Through a four-story private residence, the design explores spatial sequencing, material articulation, and daylight modulation as tools to integrate forest landscapes into everyday life. The research focuses on how framed views, controlled transparency, and layered material systems influence occupants’ perception of space, privacy, and environmental continuity. By organizing programs vertically and calibrating light conditions on each level, the project proposes a residential model that balances openness and enclosure while enhancing long-term spatial comfort and sensory engagement with nature.
Inspiratio: The project is inspired by the site’s hillside setting and dense greenery. Rather than treating nature as a backdrop, the design frames forest views as an integral spatial element. Light, shadow, and seasonal changes are incorporated into daily life, allowing residents to experience nature from multiple perspectives across different floors.
Duratio Operis: Design 2020 - 2021
Construction 2021 - 2022
Completion 2022
Cursus Operationis: Daily movement unfolds vertically from public to private spaces. The ground floor connects communal living areas to the garden, while upper levels gradually shift toward more intimate functions. Visual connections between floors and outdoor views guide circulation, allowing residents to experience changing light conditions and forest scenery as part of everyday routines.
