The Design

About Gentleness Casa Residencial

El proyecto es una casa residencial de 105 metros cuadrados en Taipéi. El concepto de este proyecto es un abrazo, con el cual el equipo de diseño busca transmitir una sensación de bienvenida al hogar. Por lo tanto, se aplican colores de baja saturación para crear un aspecto sereno y se utiliza parcialmente acero inoxidable chapado en titanio para embellecer el espacio. El diseño en forma de arco no solo reduce el estrés visual sino que también aumenta la seguridad de los miembros de la familia. Por último, el espacio en general está diseñado en tonos claros mediante los cuales el equipo de diseño espera que los miembros de la familia perciban una atmósfera cálida y elegante.

Design Challenge: At the design stage, the design team spends time to integrate the arch shape in three dimensional spaces to create the entire harmony. At the same time, the design idea needs to meet the client’s expectations and requirements.

Research: The overall concept of this project is “hug”, which the design team wants to deliver a feeling of welcoming home. Therefore, the low-saturation color is applied to create a calm look and Titanium-plated stainless steel is partly used to embellish the space. The design of arch shape not only reduces the visual stress but consider the safety of family members.
Inspiration: Feeling that people nowadays are under lots of pressure, the design team hopes to present an imagery of a huge hug to give each family member a feeling of welcoming home. Therefore, the ceilings, walls and corners of the cabinets are designed in arc shape to increase the visual tension and create the imagination.
Project Duration: The project is completed in Feb. 2023 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The public areas the private areas are clearly defined, and the attention is particularly paid on all surfaces and textures which the users may touch.
