Elegant Residence with a Verdant View

An Exquisite Blend of Nature and Elegance

To enhance the sense of belonging and connect the interiors with the great outdoors, Hsueh Chen Yang, the designer behind this remarkable project, applied large quantities of wood elements and combined various materials, striking a balance in the strong visual contrast and thereby constructing a space with enriched layers.

At the entryway, the L-shaped flow features marble flooring that ties with wood-vein walls. Paired with an impressionist painting as a visual statement, they compose a compact, smart entryway that resembles an art gallery. The common area shares the same combination of wood-vein veneer and intricate-veined marble, decorated with materials such as titanium-plated metal and leather surfaces. Despite the large volume of wall storage cabinetry, enriched, vibrant layers are presented through the use of the same tone but different materials. The cabinetry is unevenly divided with planes and lines, while dehumidifiers are cleverly concealed inside the ceiling.

Next to the entryway is a common area consisting of a living room, a dining room, and a study. Its open-floor plan and large mirrors on the wall serve to expand visual capacity in the space. The wall cabinets with varying depths are laid out to ensure good ventilation, achieving harmony and beauty. Through meticulous pondering and handling of materials, a living space where the public and private sections are separated is made possible—a space free from mutual disturbance. Life and features of the environment are combined, and a mellow vibe in the space characterized by varying layers, diversity, and harmony is created.

Despite the challenges posed by the positions of beams, piping, and wiring, the designers tactfully and accurately transformed the compromised square layout into storage cabinetry, display cabinets, and space for electrical devices. In doing so, these nooks were turned into parts of a whole, not only making the space square and integrated again but also meeting the small family’s needs for display and storage.

Elegant Residence with a Verdant View is a testament to Hsueh Chen Yang's creative vision and attention to detail. By seamlessly blending nature and elegance, this design offers a serene and welcoming home for its occupants. It is no wonder that this project was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2022, recognizing its outstanding and creatively ingenious design that contributes to quality of life improvements.
