"Living in Motion" Apartment Project Earns International Recognition for Flexible, Sustainable Design

YingYing Chen's "Living in Motion" project has been awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the 2025 Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, celebrating its innovative reimagining of apartment living. Completed in August 2024 in Taipei, the 95-square-meter residence challenges traditional layouts by introducing 360-degree rotating lattice doors and concealed sliding panels, enabling seamless transitions between open communal areas and private retreats. Drawing inspiration from Eastern aesthetics, the design incorporates layered materials, lattice motifs, and dynamic lighting to create a harmonious interplay of light, depth, and spatial rhythm.

Unlike conventional apartments, "Living in Motion" prioritizes adaptability and sustainability. The space utilizes low-carbon materials and modular elements, reducing environmental impact while enhancing flexibility. Marble-clad walls, titanium-coated panels, and reflective surfaces are paired with smart lighting systems to amplify both tactile and visual experiences. The design's research-driven approach demonstrates measurable benefits: flexible partitions reduce renovation needs by 40%, low-carbon materials cut emissions by 30%, and efficient spatial zoning boosts energy savings by 20%.

Residents experience a home that evolves with their routines-morning light filters through pivoting lattice doors, casting dynamic shadows, while a concealed bar transforms into a social hub for gatherings. By evening, warm tones and smart lighting foster a tranquil ambiance, supporting both activity and rest. Overcoming technical challenges such as structural integrity for large pivot doors and balancing openness with privacy, the project exemplifies how thoughtful design can create intuitive, enduring, and culturally resonant living environments.
