About Aurora Dance Disseny d'Interiors Residencial

Aurora Dance és un disseny d'interiors residencial per a una llar compartida per persones i gats. L'apartament té una superfície real de 159 metres quadrats i inclou dues habitacions, dos banys i una sala multifuncional. L'acer inoxidable massís, el metall xapat en titani, la fusta fosca i la pedra es combinen amb superfícies de veta de fusta que suavitzen la sensació freda del metall. Els tons negres i grisos segueixen els colors del pelatge dels gats, i petites coves i racons s'adapten als seus hàbits. S'utilitzen cuir resistent als esgarrapades i metall que no es taca. Una il·luminació regulable i electrodomèstics intel·ligents completen l'espai.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: To achieve visual integration and structural stability, the design team used many metal techniques for the cabinet. Starting from the dismantling of the wall, the design team added C-shaped steel panels inside the wall to ensure that the large cabinets would not be deformed by external gravity or gravity. Reinforced the steel panels into the steel structure, then sealed them up layer by layer with metal panels, calcium silicate panels, and wood panels. The glass of the collection cabinet was modified three to four times to achieve a zero-error fit with the cabinet.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is a new house on the 15th floor with a 281.7 square meter entitlement area and a 159 square meter actual area. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a multi-functional room with excellent functions. The design team chose solid stainless steel, titanium-plated metal, dark wood, and stone to match. Meanwhile, the special paint is Japanese Cement paint, which has minerals that can absorb moisture and deodorize, as well as its irregular pattern that can give the space a more layered and three-dimensional feeling.

Production Technology: Furniture selection as a starting point because not everyone can describe their most desired style. The design team finally deduced the client favorite style through the different features of the imported furniture. (Aurora Dance) starts from a B&B sofa, the design team constructs the atmosphere of the space from the characteristics of the sofa chosen by the client. The design team not only met the client needs but also considered the possibility of a move. The design team invited the client to choose furniture, and furnishings could take with the client became part of the sustainability concept.
Design Challenge: To display the perfect side of the cabinet and to make the 3mm solid stainless-steel structure more compatible, the design team disassembled the wall, reinforced them with metal layers, and sealed them with wood. The glass of the corner showcase is also tightly fitted, and the hinges are perfectly hidden. The desk also uses the metal cladding method. In addition, considering the length of the desk, the stainless steel may be warped. Therefore, the design team reinforced the structure of the table to achieve a minimalist sense of space.
Research: A large amount of metal reflects a cold texture under the light, enhancing the atmosphere with smart appliances and adjustable lighting. This is a perfect home for both cats and humans, with caves and corners often seen in the space, giving cats great privacy. The gray and black color also echoes the cat fur. The design team was familiar with the client's needs and ideas and integrated the client's preferences to achieve the proportions between metal, light, and shadow. The color, material, and shape complement each other, highlighting the unique and extraordinary taste of life.
Inspiration: This project is a space for cats and humans. That is the reason why it is so important to consider both the habits of the cats and the personalities of the client. The design team understood the client style preferences during the communication process; therefore, the theme was set as technology, metal, and light and shadow. Used a lot of solid stainless steel and titanium-plated metal and used wood grain material to balance the cold feeling of metal. Meanwhile, the colors are black and gray according to the cat coat color, and many caves and corners are created to suit the cat's habits.
Project Duration: The project finished in February 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: As a place for cats and humans, the design team combined the living habits of both to complete the project. The materials used are scratch-resistant leather and non-staining metal suitable for cats, and the one-piece cabinet makes the interior vision smoother and adds a texture under the light and shadow, making people feel like walking in the light and shadow of emptiness. In addition, this project uses imported classic furniture, focusing on the relationship between people and space. The design team uses simple design elements to create a design that will stand out over time.
