Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This space has applied wooden tonal as its central theme. Materials with different wood grains are piled up along with white marble stones; the natural grains of the woods and the marble have created a profound and exquisite spatial atmosphere. In this square-shaped non-decorated house, each area is secretly divided through materials of vertical and axis. A smooth yet transparent traffic flow is created through the designer use of an appropriate amount of glass materials; meanwhile, the materials have also created a visual extension for the space.
- Inspiration
- This project is a non-decorated house. The overall applied wooden materials with warm characteristics as the main tonal while combing natural lightings; the dark and light grains of the materials have created a unique and peaceful atmosphere. At the same time, an expansive and smooth traffic flow is designed to allow the client children to have fun in the space freely; low furniture arrangements are also applied to create an unbound living experience for both adults and kids.
- Research
- The designer has selected materials and elements in line with performance according to each area, such as the waterproof and stain-resistant kitchen countertops, the low furniture selection, and the wooden tones that soften the beam-column; different materials have co-existed to add layers to the space. At the same time, vertical and horizontal linear materials are used within the open-end spatial; the other materials have secretly divided each area to give the owner a more transparent and expansive traffic flow.
- Challenge
- An existing beam-column is built above the television wall; therefore, the designer has softened the sense of towering by the segmentation of rough wooden materials; linear lightings in light yellow are also embedded to let out users focus, creating a more expansive and transparent spatial feeling. At the same time, different materials in the same color tones, the arrangement of the semi-open-end, and the glass facades have also given clarity to the residence; this project has broken through traditional interior designs and has created the balance between each area secretly and harmoniously.
- Realization and Technology
- Marbles, artificial stones, painted copper plates, karaya veneer, painted solid veneer plates, laminated wooden floorings.
- Operation and Interaction
- The client has paid more attention to the usability of the kid. The designer preserved an expansive hallway in the public area, selected a lower sofa, a television cabinet, and preserved a kid room to allow the toddler to have fun without limitations in residence. According to the client needs, the kid room can also be adjusted into a lounge or a playroom. The overall has applied the same tonal; with the warm touches of the wooden materials, the transformations between each area are more peaceful, accessible, and low-key.
