The Design

About Vigorousness Residential House

Vigorousness is a residential interior design of 280 square meters in Taipei, Taiwan. The entrance uses a grid pattern that recalls the image of Chinese arches. Screens and bookcase doors combine traditional Chinese hand woven bamboo with western ironwork. The bamboo sticks are woven with cotton ropes at intervals of 3 millimeters and fixed in frames made of titanium plated stainless steel pipe. Cabinet doors are 2.9 meters high, close to the local floor height of 3 meters, which strengthens the sense of space. Black, white, indigo and blue recall traditional ink landscape painting.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: At the entrance, an image of Chinese arches is created with a grid design.
In the ironwork, delicate humanistic style is exhibited by door screens and bookcase doors, which are made of traditional Chinese hand-made bamboo weaving art combined with western ironwork craftsmanship.
For the space, the doors of cabinets in the room are all 2.9 meters high.
Since the general Taiwan floor height of 3 meters, a strong sense of space is thus created.
Dimensions & Packaging: 280 sqm
Tags: New China，Vigorousness
Production Technology: The bamboo sticks are woven with cotton ropes at intervals of 3 mm. Further, based on the desired size, a titanium-plated stainless steel iron pipe of 2 cm is used as a frame, and the braided bamboo fixed in the frame becomes a screen and a bookcase door. The braided bamboo frame of the screen shows a sense of layering through the geometric stacking. Using the light in the bookcase brings an effect of the Collection of cabinet. The combination of the regeneration of traditional craftsmanship with different materials reflects the traditional Chinese craftsmanship as well as western modernity.
Design Challenge: he image of color and the regeneration of traditional craftsmanship are used to replace the original Chinese style of carved beams and painted rafters, which lacks vitality.
Under the restrictions of the floor height of Taiwan apartment buildings, the magnificent Chinese style is to be reflected.
Inspiration: With more than 5,000 years of history and humanities, the Chinese style has the exquisite and irresistible charm. Abiding by the principle of "emphasis on meaning instead of form," the designer uses the basic colors of Chinese traditional paintings in splash ink landscapes which are the black, white, indigo and blue, as the color of Chinese style elements. Further, the combination with details such as iron pieces and lighting provides the overall space with both Chinese as well as modern sense.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan.
