MUJI Style designed by TWM Design

The client just returned from Japan and prefers the Japanese style. Given this, the design team took wood grain and white for the material and color tone, supplemented by a design approach of equal density. The entire space is well planned to restore the comfortable scale, making the interior comfortable and functional, and balanced. Under the harmonious visual effect, the Japanese house of MUJI style is realized.

● Beveled design at the entrance.

The design team planned a lot of cabinets on the right side of the foyer and created a storage room in the back with a deformed space. Considering that the storage room is square with sharp corners that affect the visual and traffic flow, the design team took a beveled shape to trim the storage room in the overflow area between the entrance and the public area. The smooth shape of the storage room facilitates visual guidance behind the entrance door, achieving both aesthetics and functionality.

● The wall storage cabinet behind the sofa.

The client has a large collection of books, so the design team planned a wall behind the sofa for storage. The cabinets are rectangularly arranged according to the MUJI style. Since too neat a rectangle would be slightly dull, the cabinets are placed in a staggered matrix and combined with modern elements and Japanese white wood grain to form a variety of visual effects. In addition to aesthetics, the client can also store books according to their size, allowing for more flexible use of the cabinets.

Building materials: iron parts, diatomaceous earth, system cabinets, laminate flooring, glass, cavity boards, eco-friendly latex paint, etc.

Instead of paint or stone, the client wanted to present the TV wall with a distinctive building material. To provide visual comfort, the design team used light-colored diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is a natural and environmentally friendly building material that is highly absorbent and can regulate moisture and inhibit mold. In addition, it has pores that can absorb indoor odors such as formaldehyde and has air-purifying properties.

The site has four rooms, a living room, and a dining room. The total area of the interior design is 82.6 square meters, including a living room, dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom.

The dining room did not have storage space. The design team reduced the size of the guest room to create a cabinet so that the dining room area can have better functionality. Furthermore, the dining area is still visually consistent because the cabinetry is built into the wall.

CHALLENGE

The design team spent a lot of time and effort in planning the ceilings. The building is a super tall building with more than 16 floors, with many beams. In the end, the design team lowered the ceiling height in the dining room and installed ductwork within a range that is acceptable to the client. As a result, the living room has an excellent ceiling height to maximize the lighting area.
