DESIGN NAME: Immaculate Illumination
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Interior Design
INSPIRATION: The inspirations for this design project were the power of illumination, the simple attractiveness of minimalism, and the functional use of space. The designer experimented to see the effects of combining these various components and how they impact the living environment and perception of space and aesthetics. Careful choice of materials, furnishings, and accessories magnified the combined power of light and visual perception to enhance and expand the residential space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project uniquely takes advantage of the building’s orientation and surroundings to maximize the natural light that shines in from every direction. Natural illumination combines with modern minimalism and a simple colorway to create a soothing, elegant living environment for its residents. Modern art adds contemporary style, light stone tiles expand space, fluted glass allows light yet privacy, and black and white set simple elegance. This cycles consistently all throughout the residence.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The key step of the project was in the planning. The designer communicated and constantly followed up with the client to ensure that the design would exceed all expectations. From the types of materials and room layouts to lighting effects and construction, the designer fine-tuned each minute detail to specifications. Adjustments increased storage and adapted use of space. More importantly, changes focused on maximizing illumination to brighten and enhance the simple elegance of the home.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was completed in November 2021 in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: White, black, and light shades of gray serve as the main colorway for simple elegance. Large, light-colored, stone tiles cover the floors, walls, and stairs to open up visual perception of space. Use of space is multi-functional, such as the giant wooden block on the second floor serving as a divider, as a design centerpiece, and as a display cabinet. Similarly, obstructed space beneath the stairway becomes extra storage space, and the top floor can be a laundry room or additional rest area.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The residence is a brand new three-story building. The residence has a total floor area of 297.5 square meters.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: One big challenge was the configuration of the stairway. To maximize space efficiency, the designer created a guest bathroom underneath the 1st floor stairs and designated the smallest space for storage. Adjusting the layout of the 2nd floor avoids direct, blinding sunlight. The areas for the bathrooms were narrower. To widen and enhance the space, the designer chose large, light gray stone tiles for the floors and walls and fluted glass for transmission of light without sacrificing privacy.
