The Meaning of Happiness

A Residential House Design by Yi Chun Chung

Featuring an "art-filled home," the designer creates artistic main walls at different end views. The pale turquoise rattan cabinets break free of the usual earth-tone palette, while the stone tiles with waterfall-like patterns bring out a sense of dynamic, rendering a flowing groove. The stone tiles, rattan doors, and wood introduce natural energy, while metal materials dot about the space to add exquisite details, creating an elegant high-end residential look.

The entryway storage room has multiple functions like screening, storing, and guiding the moving line. The band of lighting helps define the main moving line, while the nonparallel U-shaped design creates a gradually widening, brightening curved path with an enlarged sense of space.

Breaking the limitation of the long narrow layout, the living and dining room are reversed, and the direction of the living room is rearranged, thus enlarging the kitchen and living room space. The large vertical surfaces integrate functions and conceal doors, extending the space depth.

A winding entrance leads to the open living space, rendering a pleasant surprising moving flow through its lighting, color palette, and curved lines. The irregular rounded shapes inject energy into the space, while the light colors and the curved ceiling bring a sense of flow. To shorten the hallway and expand the common areas, the designer designs an open-plan layout that facilitates family interaction with the study, living, and dining room all located in one connected space.

The project was finished in 2021 and was awarded Bronze in the A' Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design Award in 2022. The design showcases outstanding creativity and ingenuity, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. It contributes to quality of life improvements, making the world a better place.
