LeafyLife began with a single intent: let the family’s love of plants become the daily fabric of the home. For this family of four, an affection for plants became the entry point of the design — three deliberate steps, moving from outside in and from large to small. First the site: a rare pocket in central Taipei held in deep canopy. Second the unit: chosen for an unusual 20-ping landscaped terrace. Third the interior itself: a dedicated grow room, and a kitchen-island bench for tending plants.

The three choices reinforce one another. The outdoors lets the interior breathe; the floor height aligns with the canopy, so the treetops extend the terrace, the terrace becomes a daylight zone for the indoor plants, and that zone in turn complements the dedicated grow room. From this logic, two purpose-built mechanisms were introduced — both designed to open the view as widely as possible, in dialogue with the floor-to-ceiling windows. The first: a movable dining table. Mortise-and-tenon joinery and industrial rubber casters let the 3.6-meter table glide into position as a plant-tending bench. Its mirror-metal legs reflect their surroundings and all but dissolve into the green. The second: a rotating low cabinet for the projector. The laser projector swings out for film nights, paired with a screen tucked into the curtain box. The rest of the time, the largest screen is the field of green outside.

This project marks another register for MuseumismSeries — the first time greenery has been introduced into the series’ deeply quiet atmosphere, asking nature and stillness to settle into one another.
