Leafing Page Residence

Leafing Page Residence is an award-winning residential interior design project that masterfully integrates the metaphorical concepts of book pages and leaves to create a harmonious living space for three generations. Located on the third floor of a contemporary apartment building in Taiwan, this 115.7-square-meter dwelling exemplifies sophisticated spatial planning through its transformation from a conventional four-room layout into a more expansive 3-plus-1 configuration. The design, conceived by Shih-Ping Chen, draws inspiration from the architectural motif of a giant library, incorporating storage elements that visually reference large-scale books throughout the interior. The residence's aesthetic is grounded in a refined earth-tone palette, featuring classical gray and camel hues complemented by verdant accents and thoughtfully placed botanical elements. The materiality of the space showcases an expertly curated selection of solid wood veneer, glass, marble slate, Spanish ceramic board, and imported wallpaper, with particular attention paid to the interplay of natural light and shadow through strategic material placement. The design's innovative approach to storage solutions includes glass sliding doors and carefully oriented wood grain patterns that enhance spatial perception while maintaining functionality. The public areas feature staggered cabinetry arrangements that evoke oversized books, while the private spaces transition to greener tones, symbolizing the family's generational growth. This Bronze A' Design Award-winning project, completed in 2021, demonstrates exceptional achievement in interior space design through its sophisticated balance of aesthetic appeal and practical living requirements, particularly noteworthy for its completion within a demanding two-month construction timeline.
