Home as the Presidential Suite

Residential House Design by Ya-Ping Fan and Chi-Fen Yang

The residence is where the owner plans to retire within the next few years and will move to Taipei city from warm southern Taiwan. During several months of design meetings, the owner stayed in the hotel while traveling. What is interesting is that when this work was completed, designers went all the way from floor plan, facade, lighting plan, material selection, color scheme, and so on. Although designers did not set any certain style for the space, but when the case was completed, designers and the owner naturally and unintentionally shaped a boutique residence. Going home is like checking in a presidential suite.

The master bedroom is arranged in the south-facing plan, which is also the position where the sun shines the most in the whole house in winter, meaning the master bedroom is not only warm but also relatively dry. The second room is intended to be a connecting room, which provides privacy and flexibility to connect to the master bedroom. The two-bedroom makes flexible use and good indoor ventilation and air circulation. From the inside of the house to the beautiful scenery outside the window, the owner can enjoy the endless extension view.

The site features continuous window views and natural light, creating flexible use of space, circulation, and visual uninterrupted. The design emphasizes the connection between the inside of the house and the environment outside the building, including sunlight, scenery, and air. The visual field, greenness, and nature are all emphasized in the planning process. The designers also focus on the impact of changes in sunlight and temperature and humidity on daily life when the seasons change.

This 97.5 M2 residential house design project started in September 2020 and was completed in July 2021 in Taipei City, Taiwan. The designers conducted extensive research, meetings, conversations, and observations to deduce and present the comfortable life mode of the owner in the space, rather than defining the space by style. The designers aimed to create a design that prioritizes the user's experience and creates a successful work based on this concept.

This design was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2023. The Iron A' Design Award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. It is respected for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, and contributing to a better world.
