Chasing Light
Chasing Light is the interior design of a three-floor single family house in Taiwan. The house is over 40 years old and has a long and narrow layout with poor lighting and ventilation. The renovation places the main living areas where natural daylight reaches, and the unlit middle part of the second floor holds a bathroom and storage. A transparent corrugated plate forms a semi-open roof on the third floor. Glass, perforated iron panels and light-colored surfaces spread daylight across each level. A built-in garage on the first floor solves a long-standing parking problem.
Chasing Light Residence by Yu-Nan Hou was selected as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Chasing Light Residence earned the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design award which rewards excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
