Van der Vein: A Luxurious Blend of Marble and Stainless

An Eclectic Extravaganza of Natural Marble Paneling

Taichung city, Taiwan

The Van der Vein residential house, designed by Hsin-Ting Weng and Shih-Ting Hsu, is a stunning example of modern luxury. Combining minimalism with eclectic novelty, this design offers a new approach to living in style. The inspiration for Van der Vein came from the desire to create a space that embraces the beauty of natural materials while incorporating innovative design elements.

One of the standout features of Van der Vein is the metamorphosis of marble wall paneling. The white Cherokee marble wall in the dining area is arranged in a chevron pattern, creating a visually striking focal point. In contrast, the square-deboss patterned wall behind the living room sofa adds an eclectic touch. Grigio carnico marble is meticulously arranged in a linear pattern from the entrance to the TV wall, showcasing the innate elegance of rock veins. A hidden stainless steel door is seamlessly integrated among the marble slabs, adding a touch of minimalist luxury.

The use of color-gilded titanium stainless steel trims throughout the space adds a shimmering luster, elevating the ambiance to new heights of lavishness. The combination of classic timeless marble and innovative stainless elements creates exceptional contrasts, emphasizing the undertones of luxury vibes.

With an open-concept floor plan and abundant natural light, Van der Vein offers a welcoming and sunlit environment. During the day, the marble walls serve as visual distinctions and provide a magnificent backdrop for the carefully curated arrangements. As dusk settles, the sunset shines through the sheer curtains, enveloping the space in a golden shimmering atmosphere, accentuating the natural beauty of the rock veins and quartz.

Spanning 131 square meters, Van der Vein is a testament to the creative vision and technical expertise of Hsin-Ting Weng and Shih-Ting Hsu. Their meticulous attention to detail and innovative use of materials make this design truly unique.

Van der Vein was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2018. This prestigious accolade recognizes designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and technical skill, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Van der Vein is a testament to the power of design to transform spaces and create a harmonious blend of luxury and serenity. With its eclectic extravaganza of natural marble paneling and innovative stainless steel trims, this residential house is a true masterpiece.
