Chun Han Lee's Anword International is a retail space design project that breathes new life into a pre-owned house. The design inspiration was drawn from the need to create a magnificent and comfortable atmosphere. The designer achieved this by incorporating simple lines, diamond beveled surfaces, and colorful tiles. The space not only allows visitors to explore the latest tile products in the season but also provides a comfortable area with a sofa for discussions and business meetings.
The unique properties of Anword International lie in its innovative use of space and design elements. The 300m2 old house was transformed into a commercial space where smooth lines were accurately created to allow the integration of colorful tiles from Europe. This innovative and breakthrough design method perfectly displayed the color and lines of the tiles, setting it apart from other designs.
The realization of the design involved the use of classic black and white lines that are never outdated, coupled with the shape of the diamond beveled surface extending to create a magnificent atmosphere for the hall space. The entrance reception was built with a large span of visuals, and a theme wall was planned to show the latest tiles in the season. A comfortable living environment imitating the living room was also created for free discussions between the owner and the guests.
The design process involved careful planning and research. Three major blocks were planned - a practical area of the tile one to one, an arrangement to introduce the most abundant sun surface, and a situation display area to show the tile's situation and interest into life. A multi-functional exhibition area was also created that can be used as a product publication or gallery.
Chun Han Lee's Anword International has received recognition for its innovative design approach. The design was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.

In conclusion, Chun Han Lee's Anword International is a testament to the transformative power of design. It showcases how a pre-owned house can be transformed into a magnificent and comfortable commercial space through innovative design methods. The design not only provides a platform for showcasing the latest tile products but also creates a comfortable environment for discussions and business meetings. It is a shining example of how design can be used to enhance lifestyle and business operations.
