Childlike Vividness: A Playful and Practical Family Residence

Yi Ting Liao's Award-Winning Design Merges Fun with Functionality

In an innovative blend of childlike charm and Scandinavian simplicity, Yi Ting Liao crafts a residence that caters to a family's love for fitness and fun. This design, awarded the Iron A' Design Award, showcases a unique approach to living spaces that are both playful and practical.

The apartment, designed to accommodate a family of four, is a testament to the power of thoughtful design. The couple, enthusiasts of outdoor sports, desired a home that would not only support their active lifestyle but also foster parent-child interactions. Liao's design achieves this by incorporating exercise areas within the living spaces, ensuring that fitness is an accessible and integrated part of daily life. The residence is a canvas of bright colors and clever storage solutions, reflecting the family's dynamic lifestyle and love for Scandinavian aesthetics.

What sets this residence apart is its vibrant design, which infuses every corner with a sense of playfulness. Fitness equipment, strategically placed by windows, is transformed into colorful focal points rather than mere functional items. The walls feature recessed lighting that, when illuminated, mimics a starry sky, adding to the dreamlike ambiance. A whimsically shaped cabinet greets guests in the foyer, further enhancing the home's unique character.

The design's realization relied on eco-friendly materials such as system panels, wood veneers, and non-toxic latex paints, ensuring that the environment is as healthy as it is aesthetically pleasing. The color palette, dominated by warm hues against a pure white base, not only creates a lively atmosphere but also maximizes the effect of natural light, resulting in a space that feels open and inviting.

Spanning 128.9 square meters, the apartment includes four rooms, a living room, a dining area, and two bathrooms, all remodeled to align with the family's preferences. The social area boasts ample storage for sports equipment and an open-plan dining room with an island, offering flexibility for various activities. The private quarters are equally well-considered, with a master bedroom featuring an en-suite bath and a dressing area with extensive wardrobe storage.

The design's functionality extends beyond aesthetics, with practical considerations such as enhanced storage capacity and an island kitchen equipped with imported appliances for the culinary-inclined couple. The designer's meticulous planning ensures that the space not only meets the family's current needs but is also adaptable for future requirements.

Yi Ting Liao's Childlike Vividness project overcame technical challenges, including custom appliance sizing and complex piping configurations, to ensure a comfortable and fresh indoor environment. The result is a home where nature's gifts of sunlight and breeze are celebrated, and where every family member can pursue their passions, from fitness to imaginative play. This design not only provides a delightful living space but also stands as a testament to the harmonious integration of design, functionality, and environmental consciousness.
