DESIGN NAME: Zen
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Interior
INSPIRATION: The owner is a convinced Buddhist. Born in Taiwan, he studied in the U.S. and then moved to Japan to stay few years. In order to look after his 80 years old mother, he decided to come back to the hometown with his wife and cute mixed-blood twins. Inspired by the owner’s unusual background and religious belief, the theme of Zen and the mix-and-match color pallet became the focus. The harmonious flow and neutral wallpaper contributed to the uniqueness. The final outcome is as special as this family, diverse and vibrant.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Movable partitions are designed to distinguish three different functionalities including living room, kitchen and home Budda hall. When worshipping Buddha, the special-made sliding door separates space and avoids disturbing. The doors can also be used to keep the smoke of cooking away. All the possibilities are based on the need of the owner.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This space builds up a new lifestyle. With no shoe cabinet, closet and no television in the living room, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful for your mind. Shoe cabinet is replaced by storage room in order to increase the capacity. In addition, closet is updated to walk-in style while books collection enriches knowledge than TV programs. The utilization of teak and wall paper demonstrates a fresh eastern look. The beautiful and unique shoji paper from Japan is used as curtains in the lounge area which also functions as air purifying.
