About XOR Creative Research Bürogestaltung / Innenarchitektur eines Büros

XOR Creative Research ist eine Bürogestaltung in einem taiwanesischen Reihenhaus aus dem Jahr 1972 in der Stadt Taichung. Die Renovierung verbindet die Vergangenheit mit der Gegenwart. Die Fassade ist mit weißen Gitterfenstern verkleidet, während das Innere modern gestaltet ist und zugleich kulturelle Bezüge aufgreift. Eine auf dem Goldenen Schnitt basierende Wendeltreppe hebt sich vor tiefblauen Hintergründen ab. Der ursprüngliche taiwanesische Fliesenboden ist größtenteils erhalten und wird mit Mosaikfliesen, Holzparkett und lokalem Marmor im Fischgrätmuster kombiniert. Falttüren trennen den offenen Besprechungsbereich von der Musterbibliothek.

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 134 square meter.
Tags: Culture, Fusion, Modernize, Twist, Tiling, Spiral Staircase, Linear, Polyline
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.
