Project Overview
The name of this project is "Life Live", which means that the project is completed with the growth of the client's children. Given this, the client wanted large storage for the children's belongings. After the design team communicated with the client, the style of the project was defined. The project is decorated with the client's favorite wood grain and some dark color blocks, creating a unique design that mixes Japanese and modern. At the same time, the openwork cabinet makes the space look more delicate. The fresh wood grain with different colors can eliminate shortcomings and amplify the advantages of the space. The dark color of the façade can provide a visual focus for the space, while the light color of the wood grain can solve the oppressive feeling of the beam. This project presents a modern sense of leisure and Japanese freshness, making it a cozy place for a family to live happily.

Project Brief
The project is next to the bank of the river. Enjoying the light autumnal mood and the beauty of the dusk, everything slowly calms down. Parents are their children's starry sky, always shining; children are their parents' sun, and a smile makes all the tiredness disappear. In a mix of Japanese and modern design, this is a place where the family can live happily. With the birth of a child, this project will be a place where he and his family spend many seasons together. The visual presentation of grey tones supports the feeling of reliability and trust, while the clean, rounded curves are soft and powerful. The space is both a warm home and the strongest of havens. The space is filled with the blessings of parents for their children. Storage and functional design can carry the memories of every stage of life. A beautiful and fulfilling home makes for a happy and carefree family.
Project Need
In the modern space, the design team preserved the natural light and scenery of the upper floors with penetrating designs and breaks at visual stops. Penetrative designs can be found in cabinets, grilles, ceiling heights, etc. Cabinets and grilles allow for a depth of field in the environment. In the public area, the grey tone creates a harmonious visual expression by linking the height differences in the space. In this way, the floor-to-ceiling effect is extended and amplified and is complemented by the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Visual breaks can be seen at the interface between the façades. The design team used the difference between the different color blocks to create visual breaks and a theme. For example, the white curved surface of the foyer storage cabinet meets the wood grain grille of the TV wall with a clean edge to create a difference.
Design Challenge
The 16-story building has large and low columns. Plus, the position of the electrical box on the TV wall. These two points had to be properly planned in the layout, otherwise, it would have been a waste of space. The design team took a penetrating design to give the interior a heightened and enlarged feel. Moreover, the storage cabinets are positioned in the electrical box, so that the entrance door can be opened to reveal the penetrating cabinets. Finally, the storage cabinets and the TV wall are aesthetically shaped with a breakpoint to give the space its most natural look.
Sustainability
The design team worked hard to create a clean environment for the client and the baby. They installed floor-to-ceiling windows and took an open plan to retain ventilation and lighting on the higher floor. The project close to the river also allows for the perfect level of humidity and temperature. Instead of ERVs and dehumidifiers, the design team only installed hidden air conditioning to maintain the air quality. Lastly, the building materials used are EEWH-certified, non-toxic, and odorless. The system panels prevent excessive formaldehyde residues from being left in the environment, which can affect human health.
