Private Reception House

Sunday, 5 January 2025

Secret Land

Secret Land is a private reception house in Taiwan, designed as a place for the owner to meet friends, watch ball games and taste wine. The plan is fully open, with the kitchen, living room and dining room set in equal proportions to form a triangular circulation path. Sight lines meet across the three areas, so conversation stays easy from any point. Cast iron is used for the screen, display shelf and display cabinet, and its natural rust gives a raw appearance. A warm wood dining table and an olive green sofa balance the cool gray tones.

Opulence is an office interior that joins an open workspace with a lounge inspired by hotel reception areas. The three-storey space covers 4000 square feet and occupies a renovated thirty-year-old house in Penang, Malaysia. A new indoor staircase connects all three floors. An oval reception desk greets visitors, and a small meeting room behind the desk allows private talks. The ceiling is made of plywood covered with black-plated mirror stainless steel plates. Direct, indirect and recessed lighting modes suit both work and rest.

Tea Edge Cabinet

Rong

Rong is a tea sideboard designed for home use. Rong is made of North American black walnut with a clear wood grain. A double-layer octagonal countertop and herringbone struts divide the functional areas by shape. The cabinet body has grille strip sliding doors that move along a track, so no space is needed in front of the unit. Multiple storage areas keep different tea sets in order. The concave countertop surface and the pressure center placed behind the center of gravity prevent tipping. Simple components allow users to assemble the sideboard themselves.

Guangzhou Serene

Guangzhou Serene is a villa interior design covering an area of 795 square meters. Natural materials such as wood, travertine and leather are combined with low saturation tones of dark grey and brown. Geometric cut outs and lines replace traditional partition walls, giving the open layout a sense of connection between areas. Floor to ceiling windows bring the garden landscape indoors. Instead of a single main light, light sources are distributed across walls, ceilings and furniture, while linear lighting follows the walking route to add depth.
