Hidden Elegance with Revealing Aura

Residence Designed by Shu-Fen Li

This modern minimalist mansion in Taipei, Taiwan, showcases a unique blend of warmth, comfort, and meticulousness. Designed by Shu-Fen Li of Da Lotus Interior Design, this space exudes a charming atmosphere that captivates visitors.

The design team at Da Lotus Interior Design drew inspiration from the concept of a beautiful woman with an illusive aura, radiating elegance without excessive adornments. With full trust from the owner, the team aimed to create a warm and comfortable environment through creativity and professional aesthetics.

What sets this design apart is the meticulous attention to detail and the delicate texture within the materials used. The combination of warm timber and crisp masonry materials creates a visually striking contrast that embodies the desired warmth and comfort. Every corner, decorative item, and overall spatial ambiance reflects the purity and soulful humility of the design.

The realization of this design involved a curated display of simplicity and style. The entryway features fabric-covered walls, complemented by marbles, glazed glass, and metalwork. The visual fusion of bright, minimal, natural, and warm elements creates a captivating visual experience, akin to a dazzling jewelry box.

Da Lotus Interior Design is known for its advocated aesthetics of texture and technically sound material deployment strategies. The entrance is celebrated with marble mosaic tiles and hidden storage cabinets, while the dining area boasts warm wooden flooring and carefully selected designer furniture. Thin marble cabinet drawers and a ceiling light strip contribute to the delicate, light, and simple visual display.

The design team successfully infused earth colors and natural timber patterns into the space, creating a harmonious blend with modern Italian furniture. This approach ensures wide acceptance and a timeless appeal.

This modern minimalist mansion project started in January 2017 and was completed in October 2017. The design team faced the challenge of an open-ended design brief without specific styling or inhabitants to design for. However, their previous collaborations with the client allowed for a smooth construction process.

This design has been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2019. This prestigious award celebrates designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

With its hidden elegance and revealing aura, this residence designed by Shu-Fen Li is a testament to the power of meticulous design and the seamless fusion of materials. It offers a warm and comfortable space that captivates with its charm and attention to detail.
