Winsome Cottage: A Fusion of Elegance and Modernity

Yu Ruei Chen's Award-Winning Residential House Design

The design of the Winsome Cottage is anchored on the concept of a fixed open bookshelf serving as the spatial furnishing. This unique feature transforms the library into the hub of the house, infusing the space with a rich humanistic implication. The designer's choice of printed works as the design notion and focal vision works in harmony with the modern and fashionable tone of the British urban yuppie style, integrating a youthful temperament into the calm and elegant house.

What sets the Winsome Cottage apart is its color scheme concept borrowed from the famous French cigar pavilion. The classical blue, grey, black, and gold hues are employed on the wallpaper, illumination, and desk in the living area and the bedroom. This captivating finishing and furniture configuration create a cozy and elegant atmosphere in the field.

The TV wall surface of the Winsome Cottage is pasted with imported wallpaper, which color-pattern reproduces the identity of the French cigar Pavilion. This not only creates a striking finish but also casts a remarkable tonality in the living area. The desk is made of antibacterial FENIX NTM material, which can revamp scratches merely via hot towel wiping, and the desk support is made of white marble, creating a beauty of compound texture.

Yu Ruei Chen's design is not just about aesthetics but also functionality. The designer has ingeniously chosen furniture with unique lines and shapes, generating delicate and cultured living scenes through well-crafted features. The house fittings are not only novel but also stylish, adding to the overall modern style of the house.

The Winsome Cottage is a 138.84 square meter property located in Kaohsiung. The project started in February 2020 and was completed in June 2020. The design process involved meticulous planning to ensure the wide-open layout as needed, especially considering the two children in the family. The designer also faced the challenge of arranging the furnishing to shape the interior scenery and effectively connect and utilize each domain.

In conclusion, the Winsome Cottage by Yu Ruei Chen is a remarkable example of a residential house design that perfectly blends elegance and modernity. The designer's unique approach to color scheme, space utilization, and furniture selection has resulted in a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and comfortable for the family. This design truly deserves the recognition it has received, and it will undoubtedly inspire other designers in the field.
