Interior design studio LGCA DESIGN recently completed the Lin Residence project. It’s minimalistic, calm with amazing flow. This contemporary apartment is located in Taipei, Taiwan. A must see!

Lin Residence by LGCA DESIGN:

“This location is at the area of Tamsui River with good daylight and visible view of the riverside. There are double living rooms, three bathrooms, and large public area. Due to the owner’s past living experience, we took the large single storage room and replaced the castle with the plan to open and clean up the space. The living functionality was the main focus in the public area. The owner hopes the clothes and jewelry could be placed in their own individual spaces.

The designer removed the original wall and changed the scale of the partition wall on the floor plan. The owners wanted us to combine the dressing room and the living room into one area therefore we decided to make the public area to a large rectangular space.

In order to keep the openness of the whole space, the design focused on the penetrability of the space making the view of the riverside and taking advantage of the daylight coming in. The designer changed the original location of the television wall to concentrate on the view from the river bend of the Tamsui River.

The television keeps the line of sight in the living room with L-type window frames. The line of sight faces the end of the sight behind the dressing room that discriminates the privacy by opening and closing the Venetian blinds. Gray is the main color in the whole space complementing the quality of materials used.

From the oblique ceiling of the entrance to the living room, the designer used the big scale concrete tile to deal with the whole facade along to the end of the space. Combining the sofa and the tea table to a display shelf, it is a dividing line of an area.

When talking about the relationship with the space and the owner, the designer mentions a special place for their dog. The dog was considered in the design. When the case was finished, the dog uses the rest area beside the display shelf in the living room.

The presence of the whole space is close to the requirements of the owners. The designer thought the space and balance between specialty design idea and the living style are that of the owner’s. In the end, the designer added their feeling into the whole space. The changes from the original condition of the space and the owner’s needs created the living space with the owner’s style and taste.”
