Twilight Mist

by Ego Design

Project Description

Twilight Mist captures the moment after sunset when a golden haze settles over a room. In a compact apartment in Taichung, the design pursues quiet luxury through refined materials rather than added ornament. A single color family of grey, beige and gold moves across different surfaces, each with its own texture.
Rounded wall edges run from the entry into the living room, softening the circulation and giving the small plan a sense of flow. The living room is anchored by large-format tiles with ink-splash grey and gold veining, laid seamlessly on the TV wall and book-matched on the wall behind the sofa, so the two ends of the room answer each other. A recessed double-layer ceiling conceals linear lighting for glare-free illumination.
In the open dining and kitchen area, a white sintered-stone table extends from the island beneath a sculptural gold pendant that carries the gold veining up to the ceiling. The master bedroom turns to soft pink: a pink large-format tile headboard wall, vertical-ribbed tiles and gold metallic-lacquered timber trims glow under concealed lighting. An L-shaped dressing room with white wooden shutters completes a small home that lives generously.
