Yi Residence-A Family-Friendly Home for Young and Old

This 5-story, 3-generation residence is aptly suited for the family-oriented lifestyle of Chinese culture. Three generations are connected through all floors, yet each keeps its own private space. Each floor shows a distinctive character by mixing and matching various elements and materials to reflect different aesthetics and lifestyles. The whole unit maintains a holistic style while meticulously taking care of each generation’s needs and preferences to enhance adaptability and harmony.
With the theme of modern Zen, the 5-story unit seamlessly integrates a luxurious style for the parents, a peaceful style for the grandparents, and a color-rich, playful environment for the children. There are also enough common areas such as the downstairs sitting and dining area and the upstairs star-gazing/play room for family members to spend time together in, or to enjoy alone—the key to happy living in a multi-generation home.
Color layers and material changes create a smooth traffic flow and enrich the relationship between spaces. Contrary elements, such as East and West, delicate and mottled, and quietness and luxury are blended together in an interpretation of modern Zen.
