Ink Black Lightness
Residence for Reason Design
The residential project locates in Taichung, Taiwan. The designer creates a work embellished with contemporary spirit through the use of materials and construction methods. While the ink-black color tone extends to the wood wall and the whole space, a poetic and artistic panoramic view of the space is presented. The designer decreases the lightness of the space; therefore, a dark-color tone dominates the space visually. With subtle decoration, the design brings about a sense of elegance mixing with slight luxury.

Unique Properties
The glance over. Submerging in the space of the shades of ink-black color hue, one sees the color tone extending to the ink-black-wood walls, hence forms the poetic and artistic panoramic view of the space. While decreasing the lightness of the space, dark-color main vision dominates the space visually. With diverse and subtle decoration, the design brings about a sense of elegance mixing with slight luxury.

Production Technology
The project uses special materials such as Senna Siamea, Portuguese Corkwood, and Blue and White Porcelain Marble to give a elegant vibe to the space.
Design Challenge
Technically and aesthetically, the beam on the ceiling is a design challenge to overcome. The curved angle of the ceiling connecting to that of the dining area not only smoothes out the height difference of the beam but also demolishes the sense of oppression. Secondly, a neat open area becomes a challenge when conceptualizing a free space incorporating the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The solution is the vertical black cabinets that can classify all devices, making the area organized.
Project Duration
The project started in Feb. 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
This is a residential project in Taichung, Taiwan. The creation involved numerous interview and communication to generate the elegant and contemporary style.
Research
Echoing the contemporary aesthetics, while the designer demolishes each of the individual divisions in the space, the design forms the sense of openness of the public area. Deliberately, massing is used to define the circulation of the interior space, keeping an undefined flow in the space to allow spatial penetrating and creating a narrative interaction.
Inspiration
The designer explores the internal and external conditions of this design project, responds to the real needs of the occupants, emphasizes the integrity of structure and form, and aesthetics, and pursues the texture of materials and furniture. The designer expects to create a work embellished with contemporary spirit through the use of exquisite materials and authentic construction methods.
