Article source: Paradox Studio House of light is a project located at the southern part of Taiwan. A house for client to enjoy the weekend and vacation with family when they get away from city. The natural beauty of this house is its adequate sunlight from three sides opened façade. The project is aiming to create an open, undivided living space to enjoy dinning, reading time with family around. The open living area is where the creation invented the most.
With the intention of creating no extra partition, the expression of certain walls has become primary stage to paint out the accents of this house. Three walls are assigned to create different characters and purpose for each space. The backdrop of the living room is the first sight when people enter the room, Volakas marble with cooper brown titanium strip were selected to paint a little touch of luxury. The beige/brown tone of Volakas marble also brings the warmth to the space and nature diagonal veins of marble, enhances an extensional illusion to widen the room. TV wall is the wall where sunset light hits on, which also gives out a dramatic performance of nature light, therefore, we chose Julux by Shikoku, a Japanese brand mineral paint to create a wall that maintain quiet expression but the texture also able to show the light difference during the day time. Julux is a material to mimic traditional Japanese juraku wall (mixing natural clay, sand, straw and water). With the newly technology, Julux is made with diatomaceous earth, natural sand, clay and straw to help humidity control of the room where the family will spend their time the most. Study is the space where client’s father practice sutra every morning, this room is also the room facing east which gets the most sunlight during the morning time. Onyx shutter is introduced to efficiently control how light enters. Compare to TV wall, the backdrop of study was intend to use a rougher material to emphasize the difference between quite wooden veneer cabinet and rough mineral wall, Mortex from Beal has become the best choice to create the perfect scenario. With the selected materials to capture various nature light moment, we wish to create a space for client to build beautiful memory with their cherished family. Contact Paradox Studio
