About Tranquil Spring Diseño de interiores de apartamento residencial

Tranquil Spring es el interior de un apartamento residencial en la ciudad de Nueva Taipéi, Taiwán. La vivienda, de 124 metros cuadrados, fue renovada para una familia de tres generaciones. Se repararon las filtraciones de agua, se elevó el suelo para corregir su pendiente y se reparó el muro exterior. El techo de la zona del comedor se dividió en tres secciones iguales para integrarse con la viga central, y el espacio bajo la viga se convirtió en almacenamiento. Se emplearon superficies de piedra natural y madera en todo el proyecto. Una cocina semiabierta y la zona de comedor colindan con un estudio y una sala de piano separados por mamparas de vidrio.

Unique Properties
The residential planning and design case was for the renovation of a 20-year-old residence where a family of three generations lived. With respect to home repair, we resolved the water leaking problem, elevated the floor to improve the inclination issue, and mended exterior wall to consolidate foundations of our design.
This case also faced the issue of its beams. To work with the crossbeam at the center of the dining room, the ceiling was separated into three equal sections. The major beam was flattened out and was designed into a groove ceiling to beautify the kitchen-dining area. Space underneath the beam has been designed as storage areas to expand storage capability; prior problems of an old apartment were resolved and turned into new practicality advantages. Semi-open kitchen-dining area was renewed with a wooden space via choice of wooden color tones. The space behind this area was partitioned with glass and designed to work as both a study and a piano room.
Dimensions & Packaging
The property is 124 square meters.

Production Technology
In terms of designing and use of materials, we have utilized large amounts of natural stone patterns and natural wood to emanate the ambiance of living high amidst the mountains. Extracting the sophisticated and tranquil attributes of spring, stone, and wood, the hollow and scattered light shadows accentuate the space mimicking overlapping tree shades, while stone patterns are dispersed throughout to create a minimalist and peaceful reborn old mansion.
Design Challenge
For the overall planning, axes are used as the bases for space partitions. Wooden closets surround and shape the elongated entrance area so direct view of the dining room is blocked and areas of varying functions are set apart.
Research
In addition to its layering visual effect, the pure white double-layered stone surface TV wall further conveys the concept of spring through the use of its refreshing colors. Design of exquisite indirect lighting also brings out the fine patterns of the stones.
Inspiration
The master bedroom stays consistent with the designing concept and has a large surface of natural wooden material for its wall. Inside the elderlies’ bedroom, an accessible bathroom is present, where the floor is made of chiseled stone tile to increase safety and as a precautionary measure for all age groups. The whole project emphasized primarily on people’s everyday use and eliminated unnecessary decorations, as we delved deep into the relationship between human and nature. And by utilizing intricate arrangements of the beams, circling and lingering of flows in space, and the positioning of straight lines and bevel angles, vitalized visual rhythms were introduced to the space.
Project Duration
The project finished on the 4th of June 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
For the overall planning, axes are used as the bases for space partitions. Wooden closets surround and shape the elongated entrance area so direct view of the dining room is blocked and areas of varying functions are set apart. The long corridor of public space outside is the living room, where a large quantity of wooden storage spaces is built as the foundation of vertical surface.
