Day and Night is a residential interior design for a house of 165 square meters in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. The interior applies a clear and refined new classical style. Sixty percent of the indoor space was planned by the designer, and forty percent was shaped by the house owner, who selected the lighting fixtures and furniture at the start of the project. Wood flooring extends from the entryway along the living room on the first floor. The staircase railing is decorated with window grill patterns that recall street scenes.
This semi-detached house is updated with a modern tropical concept that emphasises a warm, laid-back, resort-like ambience. Non-structural walls were removed to create an open space layout, which rectified existing lighting and ventilation issues. The addition of a 6-panel glass ceiling skylight at the living room brightens the interior with natural lighting. Furthermore, tall glass panels are installed in the living and dining area to take advantage of the peaceful garden view on top of expanding the interior visually. Cool urban hues and natural materials complete this sophisticated look.
