Cloister: Redefining Residential Spaces

Jia Ru Chen's award-winning project, "Cloister," reimagines residential design by transforming a narrow space into a multilayered, light-filled residence. The concept draws inspiration from the idea of a cloister, utilizing reflective materials such as mirrors and glasses on floors, ceilings, and walls to create an illusion of heightened space. Completed in October 2021, this 149-square-meter project in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, seamlessly combines two individual spaces to accommodate a three-generation family.

The design features transparent and translucent elements, allowing natural light to flow through the space, creating an ever-changing effect reminiscent of a cloister. The marble TV wall divides the common area while maintaining an open-floor plan, and the use of reflective and glass materials enhances the sense of space and connectivity. The project also prioritizes eco-friendly materials, including low-formaldehyde emission veneers and sustainable building materials, contributing to a sustainable and elegant atmosphere.

Recognized for its innovative approach, "Cloister" was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2022 for its outstanding and creatively ingenious design that authentically combines experience and resourcefulness. Jia Ru Chen's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to technical professionalism and service excellence have set a new standard for residential design, earning accolades and recognition in the industry.
