Communication among nuclear family is a complex but immediate problem due to the small number of family members and the diverse daily schedule of modern society. Because family members have to live together every day, so they must consider and coordinate mutually in communication to avoid estranging by over indifference. With the ambient environment and sensible space technology mentioned above in place, the aim of this study is to explore the possible calm interface. While with nuclear family context in mind, how to build such interface and its implication to the family communication is the problem. For building up an interface using plant-as-media, this study is using the property of plant phototropism. According the above concept, we build up the wall-formed plant interface and two perceptible family spaces practically. Starting with studying on family communication, and this research implements an ambient environment (Spatial Ambient environment, SAM) utilizing sensible space technology and calm interface.
