I have a home of 20 different colors
I’m an engineer
Working in a development department
Is very stressful
When I return home from work
And be welcomed into my colorful apartment
I can loosen up
At the end of 2012
I bought this apartment near Zhubei station (Hsinchu)
The apartment is 170 square meters in total
And I would imagine
My first home
How would I want it to be
This was the first time that we received a 25-page long powerpoint from a client
In which she visualized her dream house
And presented it in a comprehensive way
This house has won this year’s Red Dot Award
And iF Design Award
During the discussion
We envisioned a big public area
We remolded the house, from three bedrooms and two living rooms
To one bedroom and two living rooms
With three multipurpose rooms
The living room is toned with pink
Pink is a color that embraces all colors
And the furniture is of various colors that the client likes
Such as green
Purple
Pink and orange
The most challenging part is the living room ceiling
There are 8 colors
We invited an artist from France
To paint the ceiling
It took two, three months to finish
My favorite color is orange
So my kitchen is orange
The main bedroom is purple
And the main bathroom
Is shaded with pinks
The multipurpose room utilizes the concept of Yayoi Kusama
These colorful dots
Technically
Are even harder to realize than the living room ceiling
The size of each dot, and the distance between them
Were carefully calculated in advance
The guest room is a place for relaxation
To create a quiet atmosphere
We make it a light-green Washitsu
The first furniture in my home
Is the work of a Denmark designer whom I like a lot
The egg chair
And that is just a start
I have gradually hoarded many pieces of work
Of contemporary artists
In my house
Such as Takashi Murakami’s art prints
Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitomo NARA
And some classic furniture that I like
They are all mixed together in great harmony
This Peko-Chan is one of my collections
It has movable hands, feet and head
Sometimes I buy new stuff or something fun
I would let it hold it for me
And take a picture
It feels like company
I live with my partner
And we have had several parties here
There is enough space
For at least 20 persons
Today is a champagne-themed party
The house is an arena
Where I can have fun with my family and friends
In the future
This is what really matters
