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 has been identified as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Zen and People Residence received 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, meritocratic, just and fair design accolade that celebrates superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
