Foothill Residence
“Drive away from the hustle and bustle of the city and head straight to the suburb hill. The car window views whizzing by turn from gray to green, soothing the mind. The residence stands by the green forests with the chirping of cicadas, greeting the owner with lush green window views. The ever-changing shimmering light and leaf shadows are reflected on the mirror. It is as if the blurred landscapes were at your fingertips. The home is immersed in countless mountain views.

The residence is a piece of simple and elegant modern art. The completely pure low-key colors and the materials of glass, mirror, and metal are used to reflect the lush green mountains and forests. The window views bring joy to life.
The black mirror at the entrance reflects the branches outside the window. The natural end view is connected to the broad open public area. The living room combined with the kitchen island is a manifestation of the leisurely and orderly life. The double-sided sofa is like an island in a calm gray tone. It is such an enjoyment to sit casually and gaze at the tree views rarely seen in the city.
On the other side of the living room is a curtain wall. The shimmering light passing through the pure white delicate gauze curtain slowly and softly brightens the daily views of the residence. The curtain is embellished with the delicate frame, and the warm light with the ethereal feeling is full of vitality. Like thin and translucent canvas, the light curtain lessens the weight of the TV wall.
The black island is the core of the home to look at the distant views. With the multiple functions such as light meals, coffee, working, reading and meal preparation, it is also connected to the stir-fry kitchen behind the Moru glass. The vertical and horizontal neat style embellishes the spatial lexicon of the micro-architectural structure and contains some fortitude in quietness. The light gray Pandomo floor is paved seamlessly in the entire space.
At the end of the public area, there are three large sliding doors made of slate bricks. The rusty veins on the native wall compose the natural texture. Open the sliding door and enter the private area of the bedroom. The gray-white wood grilles of the headboard on the main wall of the master bedroom make the well-proportioned design. The slightly wrinkled curtains hidden by the wall together with the orderly grilles reflect the natural window views.
The rhythm of life swings between order and disorder. With the good use of the four sliding doors in the private area, the walk-in closet as the axis connected to the master bedroom, multifunctional room, walk-in closet, and master bathroom creates the orderly circular flow among the four areas to reduce disturbance. When the male owner works or rests in the multi-functional room, disturbance can be avoided through the separation of the space when the female owner gets up and moves from the master bedroom to the bathroom to freshen up. A comfortable and smooth sense of different areas is thus interpreted.
Both dark gray stone tiles and slate tiles are used in the master bathroom. The natural veins match the forest window views. The double washbasin made of artificial stone is made in one piece. The seamless design makes it easy to clean. The mirror cabinet and wall lamp add the modern urban texture. The multi-functional room makes good use of the design of elevated couches. The warm wooden colors cover the ceiling, floor, and wall and extend the simple, harmonious, and leisurely atmosphere. There is plenty of storage space in the bottom of the couches, which makes full use of various possibilities of the space.
The home space by the foothill is surrounded by an abundance of lush forests. The residence has become a modern simple gallery displaying the natural window views that change with day and night. People living in the city can slow down and look within their heart. The readable light and shadow contained in pure white is where simplicity and nature meet. Here life is different from other places. Enjoy relaxation, simplicity, and seclusion in the modern city.
