Project Overview
The name of the project, "Buds and Soil", comes from the designer's clever color plan. He uses white as the base and adds low-saturation colors to present a cozy look and reorganizes the layout to effectively utilize every inch of space. The comfort of the space is obvious, as the warm wood and mineral paint blend to form a comfortable space. In terms of functionality, the designer installs different forms of cabinetry to provide storage and adds reflective materials to enhance brightness there was no light. All in all, the designer conveys a diverse visual effect through the aesthetic expression of light and shadow to complement the client's favorite plants.

Project Brief
"The buds sprout from the soil and flourish with the light." The project has a large area of light supplemented by the client's favorite planting as an accent to life. The space sets daylight and color as the main characters, allowing light and shadow to spread naturally. At the same time, the low-saturation paint with mineral coating texture resembles the soil covered by sunlight, and the boundary between the interior and exterior is dissolved through color and light. In this way, the daylight and the vitality of the plants are displayed together in an aesthetically pleasing space. From the foyer, plants and the light echo each other harmoniously in the public area. White, gray, and green present a pure color aesthetic, and the glass and iron make the space not too monotonous. The private area also has low-saturation colors to outline the atmosphere, and leather and grilles to express the subtle dimension.
Project Need
Rhythm from the space
There are many lines in the public area, such as the moru glass in the vista and the grille in the wall, which show the sense of natural movement. The non-formal lines, including the rounded titanium-plated metal, special-shaped chandeliers, and soft leather fixtures, give the open public area a lively rhythm at the same time.
Diverse layers
For the color, the designer takes white and gray as the base. The interaction between gray and white is perfect as if the border between indoors and outdoors is eliminated by daylight and shade. In addition, a layer of low-saturation green is added to the light-colored space, its naturalness and the warmth of the wood grain harmonize the atmosphere and provide a unique look.
Design Challenge
A great designer must have plenty of practical experience and aesthetic sense, but also to communicate with clients, which can be said to be the key to linking the house and family. In the planning of an interior from scratch, the designer provides easy-to-understand answers to the client's concerns, including building materials, layout, color, etc., all of which the designer needs to face and overcome to become a holistic designer.
Sustainability
The project's open plan emphasizes the lighting advantages of the site and makes more efficient use of every inch of space after re-planning. Equally important, the removal of unnecessary partitions enhances lighting. In the corridor, the designer uses glass to bathe the space in the sunlight, allowing family members and plants to thrive in the light. For the building materials, Green Building Materials-certified materials are selected for the project, including system cabinets and paints. System cabinets are one of the most popular materials in the recent interior design market, they are long-lasting, removable, and portable. As for the paint, it is Benjamin paint, which is stain-resistant and can be heat-repaired to keep the surface clean, reducing maintenance costs.
