The Textures of the Space: A Symphony in Design

Chia-Hung Weng's Award-Winning Residence Design

Chia-Hung Weng's "The Textures of the Space" is an exploration of the interplay between light, materials, and space, resulting in a residence design that is as innovative as it is appealing. This design won the prestigious Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017.

The inspiration for "The Textures of the Space" comes from the designer's desire to express the originality of space through the use of black lines and white lights. The result is a living environment that is not only pleasant but also full of character. The combination of black and wood in the furniture adds a touch of humanity to the space, further enhancing its appeal.

The design's unique properties lie in its use of black and straight lines, particularly at the entranceway. This design choice makes the entrance more appealing and creates a composed medium space. The use of black in the main residential space connects it to the entranceway, creating a consistent and attractive area.

The realization of this design was achieved through the use of white paint in the dining room, which connects with the wall cabinet. This connection presents the composed characteristic of the wood furniture, creating a space that is full of home memories. The design covers an area of 330 square meters.

The design's interaction is defined by the transitions among individual spaces. These transitions are made attractive by the delicate application of different shapes of bricks, creating a feeling akin to listening to a symphony in the space. The project was completed in November 2016 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

The underlying research for this design focused on the interaction between materials and lights. The transformation between these two elements is what shows the residential quality and the space characteristics in materials. The main challenge in this design was creating a large area in the main bedroom that would make people feel at ease. This was achieved through the use of wood lines and lively pavements, which brought focus to the bed area.

In conclusion, "The Textures of the Space" is a testament to Chia-Hung Weng's innovative approach to design. By focusing on the interplay between light, materials, and space, Weng has created a residence design that is not only visually appealing but also full of character. This design is a deserving winner of the prestigious Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2017.
