The radial texture of the wooden material makes the large-area storage cabinet seems light and lively, and the open area in the middle of the cabinet provides functional display for the client collection. The overall style is using modern design techniques, smooth space, large storage, and open dining area configuration. Especially the wood materials used in the interior, and echoing the Mountain scenery outside the window.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: After considering the client living needs and the conditions of the house itself, the design team created a large number of storage cabinets to organize the whole space. In order to avoid the tension by the beams in the public space area, a funky TV wall and the storage cabinet for the living room was installed under the beams, thereby improving the defects of the beams and the low height of the old house. Considering the open space concept and the design of the dining and reading area, plus the client books collection, a large area of cabinets has been added in the dining room area to provide more storage.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project uses warm wood elements as the main material, combined with pure bright colors, durable building materials, open style dining area, and large scale storage space, creating a residential space that is full of book fragrance. The design is in accordance to the client living needs, from the wooden shoe chair at the entrance, the linear geometric wall of the living room, and the display cabinet in the reading area. Through the radial wood grain lines, it brings the autumn scene to the public areas.
CHALLENGE: In a limited space, maximizing space for activities has become one of the design priorities. Especially because the client gives the design team freedom to explore the design, so that the design team needs to understand the client habits and living needs. Through intense communication and careful observation, the design team can maximize the use of the site, expand the usable space function, and create an ideal residence suitable for the client and the family. In addition, because the site has been over 20 years old, problems such as tile shedding and wall cracks somehow appeared.
