Unique Timeless: A Harmonious Blend of Function and Aesthetics

Revitalizing a 37-Year-Old Space with Innovative Design Solutions

At the heart of Unique Timeless lies a commitment to creating an uncluttered and light-filled environment. Tzu Cheng Huang's approach involved the strategic use of glass to dissolve barriers in the study area, thereby enhancing the flow of light and the perception of space. The clever integration of storage into the apartment's nooks and crannies further contributes to the space's clean lines and natural style, which is a hallmark of Huang's design philosophy.

The renovation's standout feature is the multifunctional rotating TV wall, which ingeniously serves the living room, dining area, and study. This element not only optimizes the spatial layout but also embodies the unique lifestyle of the homeowners. The use of soft milk tea hues, arc motifs, and seamless flooring materials adds a layer of visual simplicity and meaning to the space.

Unique Timeless's design excellence is rooted in the selection of environmentally friendly materials such as mineral coatings, art cement, rattan, and wood. These choices reflect a dedication to sustainability and health, reducing the environmental impact typically associated with renovation projects. Furthermore, the perforated TV wall and glass study compartment minimize the need for artificial lighting, showcasing Huang's commitment to energy efficiency.

One of the project's major challenges was to maintain a minimalist and stress-free aesthetic while incorporating multiple functionalities. The solution was found in the adaptable TV wall, which, along with context-sensitive lighting that adjusts to music and ambiance, creates a comfortable spatial experience. Hidden storage solutions ensure that functionality does not compromise the visual harmony of the apartment.

The 96 sqm apartment, located in Taiwan, underwent this transformation between November 2022 and March 2023. The result is a space that not only meets the practical needs of its inhabitants but also provides an uplifting and aesthetically pleasing environment. The design's success is underscored by its recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in 2024, a testament to Huang's skill in blending art, science, and technology to enhance quality of life.

SOLE WAKE Design, the creative force behind Unique Timeless, has been duly credited for this innovative approach to residential apartment design. The project's accolade as a Bronze winner in the A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award category in 2024 highlights the design's ingenuity and its contribution to the field of design, setting a benchmark for future projects that seek to harmonize form and function.
