About The Ark of Future Diseño de Interiores Residenciales

El Arca del Futuro es un diseño de interiores para una residencia privada con una superficie de 188 metros cuadrados. La vivienda fue proyectada para una familia joven que recibe visitas con frecuencia. Una distribución semicompartimentada une la cocina, el comedor y la sala de estar en una única zona común abierta. Cuatro dormitorios se sitúan en los extremos de la planta y se orientan hacia vistas al río y a la montaña. Las superficies emplean cemento, madera y piedra en estados próximos a su forma original. Los equipos de conducción de humos y las campanas extractoras trabajan en conjunto para controlar los vapores de la cocción en la cocina abierta.

Production Technology
The designer positioned this space as a carrier of day-to-day life. The sense of existence of the space is minimized through simple spatial structure and lots of blank space. It leaves a free framework for the changing living conditions of the owners, so as to provide more possibilities for the enhancement of the space.
Almost all planes and facades are composed of pure vertical segments. A large number of squares and golden section matrix are used for composition, which is fashionable and full of balanced aesthetic features of "Neoplasticism".
In order to create a simple, natural and bright space atmosphere, the surface of the space uses cement, wood, stone and other building materials which are close to the original state.
The designer rationally uses linear light sources and reflected light sources in different functional spaces in the interior. By expressing the inherent colors, textures and textures of the building materials themselves, a natural atmosphere in the space has been created.
Design Challenge
In this case, the open kitchen provides plenty of social and living functions.
For Chinese kitchens, the disposal of oil fume in cooking is a huge challenge. The designer uses both smoke guiding equipment and range hoods to prevent oil fume from spreading through secondary filtration.
Research
The application of flowing space design concept in a residential project
The processing for lampblack in a Chinese-style open kitchen
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's design concept, the Space of Flows. After a moderate space transformation, the designer connects the kitchen, dining room, and living room into a public activity space with an area of more than 100 square meters. The public area provides decent space for family interaction and gatherings of friends.
The four bedrooms are set on the edge of the public space and facing the river and mountain views to ensure customer's privacy and comfort.
Project Duration
Design Duration: October 2019 to November 2019
Date of Completion: October 2020
Project Address: Yunyan District, Guiyang City, China
Operation Flow
The designer has expanded the kitchen functions by setting up hidden wine cabinets and cigar cabinets in the kitchen area. By setting open leisure areas around the kitchen, the kitchen becomes a restaurant, bar, tearoom and rest hall. The integrated area has also become the main area for family communication and gatherings of relatives and friends. This conversion of kitchen functions makes a fantastic life for residents and closer communication between family members.
