Calm Black
Calm Black is a residential interior design for a 99 square meter home with three rooms in New Taipei City. Black, grey and white form the base tones, combined with concrete, iron, titanium plated metal, marble and cultured stone. The original enclosed kitchen was opened and a bar counter links the kitchen with the living room, dining area and study. A raised floor, a low quartz stone wall, a concrete wall and an arch structure above the dining table divide the public area without blocking it. Curved ceiling lines soften the exposed beams.
Calm Black Residence by Yuan Qi Lu has been identified as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Calm Black Residence received the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design competition which celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
