A Gentleman Taste

Designing a French Country Style Home with Comfort and Elegance

Inspired by the concept of comfort, Wei-Chi Chien creates a harmonious and elegant French country style home that showcases unique vistas and exquisite details.

Wei-Chi Chien, the renowned designer behind the A Gentleman Taste project, has masterfully combined comfort and elegance in this French country style home. The design focuses on creating a space that exudes a sense of relaxation and sophistication, with careful attention to materials, color tones, and lighting.

The use of soft furnishings plays a crucial role in the design, with each corner of the space presenting a unique style as traffic flows seamlessly between different areas. Delicate installments, such as a carved European style iron tray and a spiral goblet, add a touch of elegance to the vistas. The inclusion of a pendant lamp and a round table under the lamp shaft creates a cozy and intimate setting.

To interpret the comfortable atmosphere of a French country style, Chien incorporates harmonious elements such as curtains, fabrics, and green plants. The space is adorned with jazz blue accents, from cabinets and facades to cushions and coffee tables, creating a consistent spatial rhyme. The overall color combination, with shades of ivory gray and ivory white, presents a fresh and elegant ambiance.

The technical specifications of the design are meticulously planned to ensure a harmonious and symmetrical scene. Chien carefully selects soft furnishings that complement the color tones of each space, creating a harmonious color combination in a dark but light tone. The use of wooden materials adds warmth and texture to the space.

Emphasizing the importance of the soft outfit design, Chien aims to create a consistent and harmonious feeling throughout the space. The delicate layout, combined with carved porcelain, glass utensils, iron trays, and rolling lace curtains, brings out the exquisite textures and adds a touch of stability to the overall design.

The A Gentleman Taste project was completed in August 2020 in Taichung City, Taiwan. Chien's research and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the design. The choice of colors, the inclusion of hanging paintings, and the strategic placement of lamps all contribute to the emotional expression and beauty of the space.

This neo-classical French country style project presented its fair share of challenges. Chien and the design team had to carefully consider the choice of soft outfit design from various perspectives, striking a balance between function and aesthetics. The result is a space that showcases elegance, tranquility, and the clients' personal taste.

With its unique blend of comfort, elegance, and French country style, A Gentleman Taste is a testament to Wei-Chi Chien's exceptional design skills. The project was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2021, recognizing its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature.
