Mobius-Band Dream

Peny Hsieh Interiors as Architects

On one piece of paper, the pencil is working, leaving traces on both sides of it. It is a place, the Mobius Band, where emotion and love are mingled together. It looks like a medium containing with temperature, a place where the owner projects his expectation toward home, casting a prospective-self under various scenarios. The shape symbolizes the image of “Dream Coming True.”

In the script of the whole scene, the owner is the mother of a modern girl and the space user is the dynamic and romantic daughter. Together with the designer who is an artist, they lead the scenes of the play respectively; they are strong but soft; and there is a lot of humor in the pure heart, bold and delicate at the same time, which gives the space a vivid character. The curved lines, components, innovative materials, and techniques used everywhere in the room are rich in the artist's complex of beauty from a distance and from a close perspective. A wine tasting room is hidden within a curved entrance; it is a secret headquarter designed for the owner and his friends.

In an arc shape, a cave hidden-place is created; a public area for the gathering purpose with family and friends is created in the back of the wine tasting room. The owner hopes that each piece of furniture has an emotional connection with himself, so he chooses each piece carefully. In the end, while he has to concentrate his mind on his works, he needs to come to the study room. The rounded-open cabinet makes the study room agreeable without losing its function. It is a space to settle oneself down.

Born out of everyday life, blending the disorder and harmony together. The flowing curves are used to break the existing three-dimensional quadrant. No matter how space is defined, it is always a three-dimensional composition of points, lines and surfaces. In addition to the vertical and the horizontal, the large-scale curved elements are added to allow the harmonious score to open a new chapter of chorus and variation.
