Old house rebirth

  • With arched window frames, large floor-to-ceiling windows and sloping roofs, the 50-year-old European-style villa greets you.

    The arched window frame is the main point of the flavor of the old house itself which uses a lot of arcs, scattered in various corners with different appearances, continuing the old house’ s life.

    The original sloping ceiling is preserved, and the sloping ceiling lines are outlined with metal iron pieces in order to stretch the spatial scale. Designed lighting is used to create a simple but not monotonous atmosphere.

    The original three rooms are re-designed to an open banquet hall. The six-meter long wood table can accommodate 20 guests. The soft and coordinated but not complicated color matching is both practical and aesthetic. It satisfies the owner’s hospitable character.

    The tactility of the art painted wall changes with the light and shadow under different sunlight and different angles, with the rough texture like natural rock. The stainless steel plate is cold and soft reflects the light outside the window to penetrate with the water ripples, like the waves in the sea of clouds, allowing the indoor and outdoor to merge into one like living in the nature.
