Reflection: A Luxurious and Modern Contemporary ResidenceUnleashing the Power of Mirrors and Marble
With marble immensely applied throughout the whole space, Poyu Chen expands the living space through mirrors and reflective materials that visually open up to another whole new world. This modern contemporary living space is designed based on the client's needs, with an open-plan layout where natural lights travel freely in between. The customized closet functions both for display and storage, leaving footnotes of owner's special taste.
Entering from the entrance, one can see the black-and-white veins of the stone flooring and dark-colored wooden cabinets which set up a luxurious and grandiose tone in the ambience. Not limited by the building's structure, the designer dismantles the kitchen partition to extend the common area in an open-plan layout for better ventilation. The modernity created by achromatic black, gray, white colors delineates the space, turning textures into its protagonists.
In order to expand spatial perception, a great number of gray mirrors and marbles are applied, which also contribute to a sense of neatness. The glow echoing between the mirrors and the marble illuminates the grandiose layout in the living space.
The light grey TV wall in the living room contrasts with the dark-colored ceiling and flooring. The mirror material applied on the ceiling elevates the space with its multilayered effect. The private spaces, on the other hand, are designed consistently with the common area's style. The lighting design and textures applied add some warm atmosphere to the modern contemporary ambience. The movable closet is customized to meet the client's need, solving the problem of spatial limitation. This design not only offers sufficient storage room but improves the flexibility in daily life.
The tinted glass and metallic textures, in addition, decorate the closets, turning them into a private collection room that exhibits one's aesthetic taste second to none.
This project, located in New Taipei City, was finished in February 2021. Spanning 123 square meters, it showcases the seamless integration of art, architecture, and design. The Reflection residence has been recognized for its outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
