About Black Spruce Príomhfheidhm: Dearadh Inmheánach Cónaithe

Téacs Leabhair: Is dearadh inmheánach cónaithe é Black Spruce d'árasán 56.1 méadar cearnach sa Téaiváin le dhá sheomra, seomra suí agus seomra bia. Athchóiríodh an leagan amach chun freastal ar ghnáthaimh laethúla na n-áitritheoirí, agus dá bharr sin aistríodh an seomra staidéir agus cuireadh na píobáin os cionn síleáil an chonaire siúil. Is iad na dathanna dorcha agus an studú maotha atá mar chúlra, curtha i bhfeidhm i mórán sraitheanna chun an dallrú a laghdú. Scarann gloine Moru agus doirse fillte na spásanna óna chéile agus ligeann siad solas agus radhairc tríothu ag an am céanna. Cuireann sonraí miotail, leathair agus gloine feabhas agus mionchruinneas leis an teach beag daingean seo.

Unique Properties
Enveloping: The designer has a unique understanding of residence. She categorizes residential design into macro and micro viewpoints. On the macro level, the residence brings a sense of relaxation to the occupants. Warm dark colors, stucco, special paints, and steel veneer textures create a stress-free atmosphere.
Penetration: The designer created a sense of transparency through the layout and choice of materials. The moru glass and folding doors serve as a boundary and allow for interaction between different areas.
Dimensions & Packaging
The customized project is in a total area of 56.1 square meters apartment with 2 rooms, a living room, and a dining room.
The designer created a sense of openness and comfort in the small space using tactics and spatial planning. Originally a two-bedroom, a living room, and a dining room, it was later adjusted to better suit the client's needs and lifestyle. The designer adjusted the configuration of the study room to a more suitable location, installed the piping and equipment on the ceiling of the walkway, and installed a wall fitting in the center of the layout as the core.

Production Technology
Materials: stucco, moru glass, rusty mikado quartz, tiles, special paint, champagne-colored mosaic, steel-brushed wood veneer, etc.
Stucco is a commonly used material in interior design, with delicate texture, diverse colors, and strong plasticity. The designer used a multi-layer coating to create a matte effect to reduce light reflection and achieve an anti-glare effect. This technique is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces that need to create a comfortable atmosphere, and then match with glossy materials to create depth of field.
Design Challenge
The challenge was the space limitation, especially in the kitchen and dining room. Due to the limited space, the designer had to calculate the dimensions of each piece of equipment, such as the width of the walkway and the size of the refrigerator and stereo, to satisfy the client's hobbies, such as coffee, cooking, music, etc. The designer also had to consider the storage space, ergonomics, and circulation. With so little space available, there was a need to rationalize the space to accommodate all the equipment.
Research
The name of the project is 'Black Spruce'. Black spruce is a common tree species in high-latitude forests. With its hard texture and fragrance, it is often used as a Christmas tree or as a symbol of toughness. The designer developed an exquisite house with both 'enveloping' and 'penetrating' senses. Far from pure white and light colors, the main choice is to use matte stucco with delicate texture, embellishing the home with sophistication and taste under the industrial style.
Inspiration
The client prefers dark colors, which bring a sense of security and stability. In response, the designer used dark colors and avoided the use of white and light colors. Matte stucco was preferred as the background material.
In terms of style, the client likes industrial style but prefers a more refined style, especially focusing on daily details and a sense of ritual. The designer took metal, leather, and glass as embellishments to balance the monochrome color system and through the lighting, furniture matching to enhance the sophistication.
Project Duration
The project finished in February 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
During the initial communication with the client, the designer realized that the client likes the industrial style. However, in the process, the client's understanding of industrial style did not exactly match the common definition of industrial style. Through communication and guidance, the designer was able to provide more precise choices of materials and styles and ultimately found an atmosphere that matched the client's ideal. The client gave positive feedback on the project.
