Regarding Pattern of Nature Interior Residential
Pattern of Nature is a residential interior design covering 198 square meters in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The home has no pillars, and thick beams arranged like a web carry the whole space. The ceiling was lowered and the air conditioning equipment was concealed to balance the height difference and reduce the visual weight of the beams. A horizontal line runs along the main wall, linking the master bedroom, the open kitchen, the guest toilet and the second bedroom. Part of a wall was replaced with translucent glass to bring daylight from three sides into the interior.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- For this project, there is no pillar in the nearly 200 square-meters space, and the structure relies on thick beams like a spider web structure to carry the entire space. Without the constraints of the pillars, it seems that we can divide the space willingly. On the contrary, we must think more carefully about the response of the space and the ceiling, and reduce the pressure caused by the beams through the design.
- Inspiration
- The protagonist in the space is the homeowner’s favorite open kitchen. In addition to being located in the center of the main visual facade, it is also equipped with a "ㄇ"shaped working area and independent air conditioning. The design of folding doors and horizontal sliding windows can be adapted to the needs of the user. The change seems to transparently cover the kitchen into an independent individual. In addition of being open, the outward facade can also be used as a bar counter to gather with friends and enjoy.
- Research
- The homeowner is hospitable and pays attention to the intimacy of the family. It is expected that the larger the public area, the better, while the private area is the opposite. We grab a horizontal line from the whole space to the main beam, and the whole wall runs through the master bedroom, open kitchen, guest toilet and second bedroom from left to right. The clean and complete facade is the visual focus through the warm wood tone base. At the same time, the area of the living room and dining room is enlarged, and the oppressive feeling of the long beam is also hidden.
- Challenge
- The space has the rare advantage of lighting on three sides, while the private areas are evenly divided on both sides of the space. By moderately releasing part of the wall, we changed it to translucent glass to connect the master bedroom and the end of the corridor. The glass draws light into the room, preserving the most precious light and shadow stories in the space.
- Realization and Technology
- Before starting to think about each case, we will communicate according to the needs and preferences of the users, and then we will analyze the space and extend the style. In the layout of the plane, we will think about the scale and proportion at the same time, and deepen the integrity of the space. During the process, we experienced communication and coordination with users, and slowly shaped the space into the most suitable appearance.
- Operation and Interaction
- We hope to continue the meaning of our company's name in Chinese. We give every space a configuration, color tone, texture and temperature that suits them. We hope that every space is unique, warm and pure. The low-saturated color and natural texture, coupled with the appropriate configuration and spatial scale, make the space naturally full of vitality and comfortable feelings.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in November 2019 and finished in November 2020 in New Taipei City,Taiwan.
