About XOR Creative Research Office Interior Design

Ang XOR Creative Research usa ka disenyo sa sulod sa opisina nga nahimutang sa usa ka Taiwanese nga terraced house nga gitukod sa 1972 sa siyudad sa Taichung. Ang pag-renobar naghiusa sa nangaging panahon uban sa presenteng era. Ang facade gitabonan sa puti nga lattice windows, samtang ang sulod moderno apan adunay kultural nga mga reperensya. Usa ka spiral staircase nga gibase sa golden ratio nagbarug batok sa lawom nga asul nga background. Ang orihinal nga Taiwanese tile flooring kadaghanan gipreserbar ug gikombina sa mosaic tiles, wood parquet, ug lokal nga marmol nga giporma sa herringbone array. Ang mga folding doors nagbulag sa bukas nga meeting area ug sa swatch library.

Unique Properties
XOR creative research is where creativity sprouts via design. To renovate old buildings in order to revitalize local community has been a concerned topic in recent years. This project, the building itself is an old traditional Taiwanese terraced house, built in 1972, located at Taichung city. Nearby community, dubbed by Teachers New Village, although it is close to downtown area, has been neglected by nowadays generation, due to aging population.

Production Technology
At the ground floor, the spiral staircase built on golden ratio attracts attentions. The staircase implies a symbolic and composed statement to the space, and inhabitants can observe spatial movement on each step. Deep blue backdrops set off the long-narrow plan, conveying a minimalist comparison with bygones. To preserve most building structure, the slope ceiling encompasses vernacular wooden truss framework underneath. A chamfer floor mirror echoes to poly-lines near ceiling, reflecting lush from backyard to indoors. The exposed masonry of brick wall, a remembrance our colonial influence from Japan in the past.
Design Challenge
To eliminate stereotypes to retro elements. Select our indigenous materials on the flooring: white marble from Hualien city, and emerald marble from Taitung city. Deconstructing natural stones and mismatching nowadays tiles, and retro bronze metals on flooring, comes up with a progressive herringbone array, giving a modern newness.
Research
To reminisce about traditional material technique in 1970's, authentic Taiwanese tile flooring is mostly preserved. Inspiration of ‘material paradox,’ flooring combine geometrical mosaic tiles and wood parquet to create a ‘tapestry’ effect. Flooring pairs with terrazzo table top, stimulating an intriguing connection between old/classic and new/contemporary creativity.
Inspiration
The building is an old indigenous Taiwanese terraced house at Taichung city, built in 1972. Aiming to revitalize a traditional building, we regard this project is a fusion between the past and new era, and take concepts of "twist" and "new born" instead of reborn or rebirth. The facade, cladded with white lattice window, showcases modernized interior of cultural undertones.
Project Duration
Started from September 2018 and finished in March 2019.
Taichung city, Taiwan
Operation Flow
At the stairway, wall covered with bold geometric patterns and framed by gilded metal, as a prelude to workplace upstairs. Demolish old interval walls to allow natural lights and street scenes to be seen. Open-concept meeting area and swatch library are compartmentalized by folding doors. Inhabitants are free to be involved in each or both areas.
