Leaves Shadow Residence is an award-winning residential interior design project located in Zhubei City, Taiwan, exemplifying sophisticated minimalist design principles through its masterful integration of light, shadow, and natural elements. The 168-square-meter residence, designed by Heng Hsin Huang and Chia Li Chiang, demonstrates exceptional spatial planning across three bedrooms, living room, dining room, and two bathrooms, where the interplay of natural and artificial lighting creates a unique atmospheric experience. The design philosophy centers on creating an inward-looking sanctuary, employing a light beige color scheme and warm timber materials that harmoniously complement the integrated greenery, establishing a serene and natural ambiance. The project's distinctive approach to lighting design transforms functional elements into space-making features, with meticulously calculated fixture locations, heights, and angles that generate dynamic shadow plays throughout the interior. Despite site limitations regarding natural light availability, the designers successfully orchestrated a sophisticated lighting scheme that enhances spatial perception and user experience. The project's material palette includes timber veneer, imported metal accessories, metal formwork, and scratch-resistant flooring, all carefully selected to support the overall design narrative. The designers addressed structural challenges by utilizing line and axis alignment to create visual consistency while minimizing renovation costs, particularly in areas with existing partition walls and columns. This thoughtful approach to interior architecture earned the project a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, recognizing its excellence in spatial design and innovative lighting solutions. The residence stands as a testament to contemporary residential design where functionality meets aesthetic refinement, creating a living environment that balances minimalist principles with rich experiential qualities.
