Residence in the Forest

Residence in the Forest is an interior design for a private apartment. The design creates a modern spatial atmosphere with a balance between dignity and softness. A low-profile and slightly luxurious layout gives the rooms rich and delicate layers. Calm colors and quiet materials capture small changes of light and shadow, so the interior recalls the image of living in a forest. Natural views are linked to the living areas, as if a forest were present inside the home. The design connects nature, space and the resident.

Residence in the Forest Residential Apartment by Shih-Kai Chen was identified as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Residence in the Forest Residential Apartment won the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition which celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
