About Ripple Diseño de interiores para la biblioteca de una escuela

Ripple es un proyecto de diseño interior para la biblioteca de una escuela secundaria de Hong Kong, con una superficie de 2500 pies cuadrados. La intervención renueva una biblioteca deteriorada que los estudiantes apenas utilizaban. Las estanterías curvas y una mesa central circular componen formas superpuestas que evocan las ondas del agua, mientras que los patrones coincidentes del suelo y del techo completan la temática. Se emplean laminado plástico, piedra, Corian, moqueta, baldosas vinílicas y tejidos de absorción acústica, junto con madera de tonos claros y plantas en cada rincón. La disposición en arcos delimita las distintas zonas y hace que el espacio limitado parezca más amplio.

Unique Properties: The project is under direct subsidy scheme secondary school instituted by government; campus has been worn out over 35 years and associated with problems such as low usage rate of library. In view of this, the designer hopes to beautify the premises and refurbish existing library with warm atmosphere, thereby achieving effective passing on of knowledge, inspiring students and develop a better society for the future.

Production Technology: Plastic laminate, Carpet, Vinyl tile, Sound reduction fabric, Stone, Corian
Design Challenge: Most of the libraries floor plans, bookshelves and counters design are relatively simple and straightforward. Nevertheless, in the limited space, the designer boldly takes the arc as core factor, curved bookshelves are used to separate different area, so that students can enjoy the process of finding books. Arc design maximizes the visual space, making the original small and boring library become a lively and dynamic self-directed learning space.
Research: Aesthetic education is rare in Hong Kong. Most of the schools were built by government under mass production; their design and floor plan were based on the sample cases that have been circulating for decades, which made the campus look tedious and similar to each other. We believe that the establishment of aesthetics is needed from an early age. A relaxing and comfortable campus can improve students’ interest in learning, inspire their development and build a better society for the future.
Inspiration: Drops falling onto lake cause ripples, as if people acquire knowledge from books, transform information to inspiration by pondering over and over again, ultimately turn into brilliant interpretation.
Curved bookshelves together with round shaped table in the center of the library become overlapping ripples, coupled with the pattern on floor and ceiling which are corresponding to each other, making the overall decoration consistent and complete.
Project Duration: The project finished in Feb 2020 in Yan Oi Tong Chan Wong Suk Fong Memorial Secondary School, Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: The designer believes that campus is not only a place for learning, but also serves as second home for students. Therefore, a comfortable library is important to give students a sense of belonging. Different level of green are planted in every corner of the library, as if every student is one of a kind with their own expertise. In addition, the light-colored wood elements make the space brighter and closer to nature.
