Calm and Repose: A Modern Residential Building

Creating a Home Omnipresent with Laid-Back Ambience

A home of natural quality, Calm and Repose, designed by Chi Wei Lin and Yu Chih Chang, combines the features of the local natural environment to sustain creatively. This residential building showcases modern simplicity and decorates the indoor space with materials of simple and plain textures. With its breathtaking views of the surrounding nature, it offers a serene and laid-back ambiance.

The design of Calm and Repose sets it apart from other residential buildings. The use of materials with simple and plain textures creates a sense of modern simplicity throughout the interior space. The house decoration avoids complex designs, allowing the focus to be on the stunning outdoor views. This approach creates a home that is omnipresent with a laid-back ambience, providing a sanctuary from the hectic outside world.

The building materials used in Calm and Repose are carefully chosen to enhance the overall design. The TV wall, adorned with large stone grain tiles, creates a sense of spaciousness as soon as one enters the house. Behind the sofa, the walls are mounted with leathers in irregular sizes, while brushed wood veneers extend from the floor, seamlessly combining the cold solid texture of the stone grain tiles with the warm texture of the leathers and veneers.

Calm and Repose spans an impressive 430 square meters, offering ample space for residents to enjoy and relax in. The design team, consisting of Chi Wei Lin and Yu Chih Chang, meticulously planned and executed every aspect of the project to ensure a harmonious blend of nature and modernity.

This exceptional residential building has been recognized for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2020 in the category of Architecture, Building, and Structure Design. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Calm and Repose stands out for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its residents and contributing to a better world.
