Pure Essences
Pure Essences is an interior design project for an architecture firm in Tainan, Taiwan. The building volumes are gradually recessed, creating balconies that receive ample sunlight for the working areas. Fair-faced concrete and grey slate are used on the exterior and inside, giving a consistent and low-key appearance that matches the surrounding environment. Stone pavers with grass between them improve the water retention of the soil. A small pool and a tree help moderate the temperature. The layout provides smooth circulation and open views toward the garden.
Pure Essences Architects Studio by Chong-Yi Chen has been selected as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Pure Essences Architects Studio received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design recognition program that celebrates outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
