About The Flow Disseny d'Interiors d'Espais Públics

The Flow és un disseny d'interiors d'espais públics per a les àrees comunes d'un edifici residencial a la ciutat de Taipei, Taiwan. El tema del disseny és l'aigua, utilitzada com a metàfora del temps i del moviment. Un sostre de gelosia de fusta amb formes ondulades corbes s'estén des de l'entrada principal fins al taulell de recepció, i continua a través del saló, la sala de correu i l'aparcament subterrani. Els panells d'acer inoxidable corrugat a les parets del vestíbul de l'ascensor suggereixen ondulacions. Les parets reflectants i les rajoles ceràmiques amb efecte de marbre blanc amplien visualment l'espai. Es van seleccionar la fusta i l'acer inoxidable perquè ambdós materials són reciclables.

Unique Properties: Wood grill ceiling with curved wavy three-dimensional shapes the water flow from the main entrance all the way to the reception desk and continuing through the lounge and mailroom, the ceiling of the underground parking area as well.
Tags: Peng-Hsu Chen, Aesthetic of Space Design Co., Ltd., The Flow, Concept of Public Space
Production Technology: Ripples-looked stainless corrugated panels on the side wall and ceiling of the elevator hall from the second floor and above are another way to portray moving water.
Design Challenge: Due to the limitation of the building width, the designer utilized big panels of fire-rated glass windows and doors to elongate the space and allow people at reception to look over the driveway for security purposes as well.
Research: Just like water is a recyclable resource, Wood and stainless steel are major materials to carry out the design concept which are also 100% recyclable. With environmental sustainability in mind, the designer chose light-colored walls to save energy consumption by requiring less interior lighting, and chose locally designed and produced tiles on all the floorings and walls to reduce the carbon footprint.
Inspiration: The residential building located adjacent to the road was called Imperial Envoy Avenue where the US Ambassador's residence and American Embassy were located. The rhythm of t public facilities space design is based on the idea of water. As the metaphor of time and traffic creates the imagery of transparency and reflection of flow movement.
Project Duration: The project is in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Having reflective finished walls in the social area visually widened the space. White marble effect ceramic wall tiles at the reception, basement transition zone, and elevator hall also give some sense of extension.
