Stage

The furnishing work is to create a living space that harmonizes living fabric and dweller’s interest in performing art. Before the design started the design team made extensive research of opera house furnishing styles, and paintings depicting performances. The designer Yang confessed that he was impressed with an oil painting that inspired him. The work showed a nobleman standing in front of stage back dropped by a red screen; this painting provoked the designer’s deployment of color and its flamboyant style. With a vivid Western performance fashion we further inserted some local elements such as a terrazzo floor, and used extensively veneers dyed red. The spatial layout in this unique residence is different from that of a typical plan; the space is divided by skewed walls, some can be seen from one side to the other, and some are solid. The walls dividing the space have non-perpendicular angles and forms polygonal shapes. The material used on the floor follows the layout the precise border except at the portion in front of the kitchen that corrupts the geometrical order.
