Luxury Taste: A Symphony of Color in Neoclassical Design

Huang-Shih Chu's Residence Project Marries Function with Elegance

In the heart of a spacious apartment, Huang-Shih Chu crafts a residence that transcends traditional luxury with a bold color palette and seamless functionality, catering to a modern family's lifestyle.

Embracing the neoclassical style, Huang-Shih Chu's "Luxury Taste" project challenges the norm by infusing vibrant hues into the classic color scheme. The 191.7 square meter space has been transformed into a functional yet aesthetically pleasing haven for a family of three. By removing walls, the living area breathes with openness, while Italian tiles demarcate spaces without the need for physical barriers, creating a harmonious blend of form and function.

Distinctive features such as a hidden hallway and a variety of color schemes, including lake blue and mauve, reflect the family's personality and set this design apart. The clever use of space and directionality in the apartment's layout allows for a flexible and rational exploration of family living, showcasing Huang-Shih Chu's commitment to personalized design solutions.

The realization of "Luxury Taste" is a testament to the meticulous selection of materials, from wallpaper to titanium-plated metal and marble. The light tones of the living room contrast with the dark brown tiles of the dining area, while Prussian blue accents and gold paint add a formal touch. The result is a space that is not only visually stunning but also practical and secure.

Technical specifications reveal a thoughtful approach to the occupants' needs. Two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a generous social area are laid out with an emphasis on privacy and functionality. The design team's planning ensures that each space serves its purpose while contributing to the overall theme of the residence.

Interaction with the design begins with a burst of color upon entry, with fresh lake blue setting a vibrant tone. The design team's focus on both aesthetics and functionality is evident in the comfortable scale, detailed layout, and custom cabinetry, ensuring the occupants' comfort in every corner of their home.

The project's success in Taiwan is underpinned by extensive research into the occupants' lifestyle, resulting in a layout that is both intuitive and convenient. The use of color to express personal taste and evoke family emotion is a highlight, with each hue chosen to enhance the elegance and balance of the space.

Overcoming the challenge of innovating within the neo-classical style, Huang-Shih Chu's team has demonstrated a profound understanding of the genre. The integration of color flash and diverse materials has resulted in a unique visual narrative that respects tradition while boldly asserting contemporary flair.

Recognized for its design excellence, "Luxury Taste" has been honored with the Iron A' Design Award in the A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award category for 2024. This accolade celebrates the project's well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, which not only meets professional standards but also contributes positively to the world.
