Gentle Expression: A Modern and Natural Residential Space

Integrating Nature and Simplicity in Home Design

The essence of home doesn't have to be decorated with gorgeous ornaments; a simple style is able to bring out the true essence of human life. Chia Mien Chang, the renowned designer, aims to convey the life philosophy of low-key fashion through the combination of eco-friendliness, nature, and culture in the hustle and bustle of the city.

Chia Mien Chang's design, named "Gentle Expression," stands out with its integration of natural and simple elements. By combining precise layout techniques and carefully chosen building materials, the residential space exudes a modern aura while maintaining a sense of tranquility.

Filled with modern lines and cold elements such as metal and glass, the space is balanced with the warmth of wood to adjust the color temperature. Different areas are distinguished through the use of various materials, creating a sense of both rigidity and softness.

The project covers an area of 201 square meters, providing ample space for comfortable living.

Hidden doors installed on the columns in the living room enhance the transparency and openness of the space. The walls covered with veneers echo the overall style, achieving a harmonious visual appeal that further emphasizes the ideal of greenery.

The delicate sense of layers in the pure and warm wood tones creates a real-life style that reflects the spirit of the design. The use of plants, natural lighting, and other natural elements allows the homeowners and their children to immerse themselves in a pure environment, presenting the idea of an eco-lifestyle.

With a brand-new perspective on interpreting life, the design embodies a cozy sentiment, supplemented by culture and art. The life philosophy is hidden in the details, enriching the layers and intertwining fashionable taste with a sense of vacation. The result is an exclusive and unique charisma that exudes a modern yet gentle style.

The "Gentle Expression" project was completed in December 2020 in Taichung, Taiwan. The meticulous research and creative problem-solving that went into the design are evident in every aspect of the space.

Chia Mien Chang's exceptional design has been recognized with the Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2021. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The "Gentle Expression" design stands out for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings while contributing to a better world.
