Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to connecting living spaces in The Corridor Interior Design creates a seamless flow between rooms - could you elaborate on how this spatial transformation enhances the daily lives of the residents?
With one side facing the road and the other a park, the design team prioritized the homeowner's primary needs by connecting the living room, dining room, and study. This creates an expansive communal space with an open view, alleviating the confinement of the original three-bedroom layout. A corridor by the windows links to the floor-to-ceiling view, allowing sunlight and breezes to flow freely throughout the interior.
The raised floor feature in The Corridor Interior Design serves multiple functions from tea brewing to exercise - what inspired this versatile design element, and how does it reflect modern Japanese living principles?
Inspired by the traditional Japanese engawa, which is typically located on the outer edge of a house, this design places it on the interior side of the window to suit the home’s layout. On sunny days, it can be used as an elevated space for sitting, dining, or enjoying tea.
The Corridor Interior Design demonstrates remarkable attention to air quality management through ceiling-mounted systems - could you share your thought process behind integrating these technical solutions while maintaining aesthetic harmony?
This project is located near a major traffic route in a science park. To prevent polluted air from entering and to improve indoor air quality and comfort, the design team integrated an energy recovery ventilator, air purifier, concealed air conditioning unit, and hidden dehumidifier, all installed in the ceiling of the communal area. High and low ceiling levels were utilized to accommodate these devices and their ductwork. All central control panels are placed in the hallway for convenient access by the homeowner.
