The studio is located in a storefront with a soaring 6-meter ceiling, adjacent to the National Taiwan Museum of Arts. The original double-height space was bathed in light and nearly flawless, with its only shortcoming being its decade-old age. To infuse the area with renewed energy, the design sought a blank canvas with lightness, cleanliness, and tranquility. The floor maintains its natural earthy gray color, its texture becoming a natural artwork. The sole addition is the suspended Italian travertine screen at the entrance, awakening a sense of renewal like a guide navigating new waters.In the rear, the towering skylight corridor pillars serve as both wall lamps and guides for movement, contributing to the delineation of multiple spatial zones. Interestingly, these pillars are actually structural elements. The space has been revitalized through simple transformation, nurturing not just a personal sense of aesthetics but also giving birth to a new world of contentment for the soul. Sitting on the sofa, gazing at the reflected image of maple leaves outside the door, one can't help but be reminded of poet Du Mu's depiction in "Mountain Trip":"Winding up the rocky path in cold mountain far;Homesteads unveiled in the floating white clouds.Stopped the coach to enjoy the late maple woods;Frosty leaves redder than the February flowers."
