Located in Taichung, the project is a home a mother prepared for her son鈥檚 future married life. Since the number of occupants will change with life stages, the designer took 鈥渇lexibility and transformation鈥 as the main theme, allowing the space to expand and adapt as life evolves. The owner, calm and composed by nature, prefers clean lines and rational color tones. Therefore, the overall concept is built around the duality of 鈥渂oundary and fusion鈥濃 boundary represents the demarcation of living zones, while fusion symbolizes the connection of emotions. In this way, the home can freely shift between the present and the future.

The design centers on the theme of flexibility, embedding adaptive thinking into its structural logic. The original layout had dense beams and columns; the designer softened these by using layered ceilings and indirect lighting, turning awkward structures into a rhythmic composition. The TV wall in the living room became the focal point of the entire space: a semi-height fixed structure crafted in lightweight metal, balancing lightness and stability. With open proportions and a symmetrical axis, both visual flow and movement remain flexible. When lifestyle needs change in the future, the TV can be relocated to the study wall, allowing for multiple compositions of daily living.

Where light turns a corner, the view changes as well. The study and living room are connected by a moru glass sliding door that filters light while maintaining privacy, an iconic symbol of 鈥淏oundary and Fusion.鈥 When family visits, the door fully opens, letting light and air flow freely; when alone, closing it restores tranquility. The act of opening and closing thus becomes not only a functional change but a dialogue of living moods.
