Slow Dance: A Warm and Contemporary Residential Apartment

Creating a Sculptural Home with Yii Design

Within the 225 square meter apartment, Yii Design has carefully crafted a space that revolves around the dining room, serving as the axis of the home. The design incorporates cold, square elements such as stone and iron to emphasize the modern style, while balancing it with soft furnishings and bright colors to maintain a warm and inviting atmosphere.

One of the standout features of this design is the sculptural dining area. Yii Design has created a spatial object that not only serves as a storage container but also becomes the core and focal point of the home. This angular iron piece, integrated with stone and woodworks, partially open and partially solid, adds a unique and artistic touch to the space. The metal part also doubles as a support for flower vases or photo frames, while the embedded sliding-shelf-door in the middle provides additional storage in the dining room.

The use of natural stones, iron works, dyed natural wood veneer, AICA panels, striped glass, laminate hard plastic sheets, and laminate flooring showcases the meticulous attention to detail and the realization of the designer's vision.

Despite the challenges of working with existing flooring and walls in the public area, Yii Design has successfully transformed the space into a modern oasis without losing the warmth of a home. The combination of gray stones, iron works, and woodworks harmonizes the black and white modern elements, creating a unique spatial choreography that is both visually striking and functional.

Completed in July 2020 in New Taipei City, this residential apartment designed by Yii Design has received recognition for its excellence. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2021 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, showcasing innovation, practicality, and integration of industry best practices.

Through their thoughtful and innovative approach, Yii Design has created a residential apartment that not only reflects the personalities of the owners but also provides a comfortable and stylish living space. With its unique sculptural dining area and harmonious blend of modern and warm elements, Slow Dance stands as a testament to Yii Design's expertise in creating exceptional living environments.
