Zen and People
Zen and People is a residential interior design for a 68 square meter home in Taiwan, with three bedrooms, an extra room and a living room. The open plan is calm and guided by a Zen theme combined with modern and industrial elements. Materials such as plaster, spray paint, water-rippled glass, terrazzo, titanium plated metal and dark wood grain veneer share one color tone, while their different reflections create varied visual effects. Open shelving and concealed cabinets reduce the visual volume of the space. A curved ceiling hides the pipes and spreads the light evenly.
Zen and People Residence by Erian Yen, Jimmy Chen was selected as an outstanding illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Zen and People Residence won the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade which rewards outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
