Sweet Q House

Residential House Designed by Yi Chun Chung

In order to give the retired couple a comfortable barrier-free living space, the original closed type of three-room is opened up, and then the dining room area can be kept for a large table to unite the heart of the family. The children can be far away from the noisy after work, and go to their parent’s house for chatting, as if back to the good times while they were eating their mom's home-cooked food.

To increase the floor effect and children's activity space, the partitions with fixed walls are abandoned, and sliding doors are used to separate the fields. For example, the room has two-sided sliding doors, which can usually be opened to increase the barrier-free space. If you need to go to bed, slide the door again Closing is both privacy. The bathroom and TV wall also use iron sliding doors, which can hide the bathroom and facilitate entry and exit.

The dimensions of the Sweet Q House are 85 square meters. The design features laminate flooring, Italian paint, terrazzo, grille, and titanium plating. The large floor-to-ceiling daylight brings light into the room, and it is matched with the green bamboo reflection. Reading newspapers in the sunshine is dad's favorite leisure time, and the quiet living room slows down the pace of retirement life.

The project was completed in 2020 and was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2021. The design provides a barrier-free living space for retired couples, removes fixed partition walls to enlarge the aisle, and makes activities more convenient. The living room and dining room can be reached within a few steps. The use of multi-element color adds richness to the day, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the outdoor greenery and daylight into the window, allowing people to enjoy a comfortable and slow life.
