About Mu House Residential Space
Mu House is a residential interior design created for a family of four in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The original layout offered only four rooms and did not meet the needs of the household. The renovation adds three separate rooms and a multifunctional room, while giving more space to the common areas. Grayish white walls extend through the home to create a calm and elegant atmosphere. The layout follows the river and mountain views and the abundant natural light. Environmentally friendly materials are used for the paints, the walls and the built-in furniture.

- Each detail is crafted to bring out spatial quality and order. The designers professionalism is fully displayed in the arranged layers and color ratio of different materials. Space for a living is a square, and in using geometry as an analogy for life, family means circle.
Between square and circle is a life of struggle and pleasure. The symbols laid out by the designer in the space characterize this work and deliver the blessing to the family. When residents move between different parts of the square, they feel the fullness of their lives because of the love from the family. - Inspiration
