Neutral Line: A Modern and Intelligent Residence

A Balance of Warmth and Technology

The overall design concept of the Neutral Line residence revolves around the idea of future living trends. The client's understanding of these trends inspired the design team to incorporate intelligent technology and separate living and working areas. The use of an overall white color scheme, complemented by cold materials such as metals, creates a balanced and sophisticated space. The integration of intelligence technology enhances the living experience, making it both convenient and efficient.

One of the standout features of the Neutral Line residence is the use of white throughout the space. This choice allows light and shadow to play with the depth of the rooms, creating a sense of spaciousness. Spanish tiles are strategically placed to add warmth and visual interest to the hallway and the large TV wall. The linear design vocabulary neatly divides the living areas, providing a sense of organization and flow. Additionally, a stunning aquarium located in the center of the living area adds a touch of nature and tranquility to the space.

The realization of the Neutral Line design involved careful selection and implementation of materials. The design team utilized white as the main theme, pairing it with neutral and warm tones to create a cozy home environment. Metal hardware covered with Moru glass, wooden veneer, and special Italian paint were used to showcase the texture and elegance of the materials. Spanish ceramic flooring was chosen to enhance the overall visual appeal of the space. The inclusion of a black mirror on the ceiling cleverly conceals the height limitation created by a low beam, resulting in a seamless and harmonious atmosphere.

Integrating smart technology was a key aspect of the Neutral Line project. The design team collaborated with Xiaomi's Smart Technology series to provide a compact and modern living experience. From controlling curtains and lamps to managing home appliances, everything in the residence can be easily operated through Xiaomi's smart system. This integration ensures convenience and safety, even when the occupants are away from home.

The Neutral Line residence was completed in August 2020 in Zhubei City, Taiwan. The design team faced several challenges during the project, including re-planning the layout and circulation to meet the client's needs. The addition of a Feng Shui aquarium design, strategically placed at the center of the public space, further enhanced the project's uniqueness and functionality.

With its warm color palette, interplay of materials, and intelligent technology integration, the Neutral Line residence offers a modern and inviting living space. The design's attention to detail and commitment to creating a harmonious environment make it a standout example of contemporary interior design.
