Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The color in the space is taken from the dark wood texture favored by the owner. Through the design, it is transformed into the basic color of the space composed of black, gray and white. Combined with the board and stretched leather fabric, and with local wood texture, it sets off the overall elegant atmosphere, giving a refreshing family space.
- Inspiration
- The old layout allowed the dining room to be hidden in the walkway, the public blocks could not be easily connected by moving lines, and the air conditioning and ventilation were hindered, as well as the uneven distribution of space in each room. By rearranging the pattern, leveling the wall, breaking through the restrictions of beams and columns, enlarging the sense of space, and boldly integrating the dark color of the owner's preference, to create a stable and personal style of home space.
- Research
- The design scheme focuses on the optimization of pattern and the balance of adjusting the proportion of each space, so that the dynamic line and function are then restructured to create a more in line with the use of habits, which is more spacious and perspective of the home environment. For example, the dining area is changed to a smaller dining table according to the house, thus giving more space to the living room vision, and removing the porch compartment to increase the transparency of public area.
- Challenge
- There are many large structural columns and beams in this old house. For example, the living room has structural columns in the porch and TV wall. The former combines mirror shoe cabinet to achieve effective storage and amplification, while the latter breaks through visual limitations by the extension of stone and black door panel.
- Realization and Technology
- By symmetry and extension to enlarge the sense of space, which integrates classical aesthetic consciousness, and with black, gray, white main color rendering crisp modern temperament. The TV wall breaks through the structural beams and columns and visually extends to the whole wall, presenting simplicity and rationality in black and stone. The master bedroom and bathroom also continue this design concept, presenting spatial integrity. The lighting uses box lights, wall lights and indirect light, which can be freely switched with the atmosphere, and the appearance and color can be integrated into the integrity of the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- The entrance porch removes unsuitable compartments, and the shoe cabinet is planned under and on both sides of sleeping bed to facilitate the use of access line. The moving lines in living room, dining room and kitchen are connected, and the kitchen is also shielded from the lampblack through the glass sliding door. The family can enjoy the communication together in public block.The private area is separated from the storage room and connected to the public toilet line for access to cleaning supplies.
