About Ohv Flat Taisbeanaidh

Tha am pròiseact seo a’ nochdadh flat taisbeanaidh condo trì-seòmar-cadail iongantach, air a dhealbhadh gu faiceallach gus a bhith na eisimpleir de dhachaigh air leth freagarrach airson teaghlach de cheathrar. Air a dhealbhadh gu sònraichte aig àm Covid-19, nuair a thàinig amannan fada aig an taigh gu bhith àbhaisteach, tha an àros a’ tabhann àrainneachd a neartaicheas ceanglaichean teaghlaich fhad ‘s a bheir e cothrom gu leòr do gach ball obair, cluich agus fàs leotha fhèin. Tro atharrachaidhean cruth ro-innleachdail, tha an aonad a-nis a’ nochdadh raointean farsaing fosgailte, gu h-èifeachdach a’ lasachadh faireachdainn sam bith de “fiabhras cabin”; a dh’ fhaodadh èirigh bho bhith a’ fuireach fada a-staigh.

Production Technology: Though customised, all the built-in carpentry was designed to be cost-efficient. Materials chosen are readily available in the local market and design details are easily fabricated without any special equipment needed. They are also durable and withstand the wear and tear that a family with children would put the apartment through. For example, high-pressure laminates are used instead of veneer. As far as possible, and where it does not affect the design intent, the existing finishes and fittings were retained. This helps to keep the interior as sustainable as possible with minimal wastage generated.
Research: We referred to a survey conducted by Sekisui House Human Life R&D Institute on the effects of staying at home during the pandemic for insights which helped in our design.

Our design includes solutions to 5 points suggested in the study to improve happiness at home. Coexistence and balance to reduce the burden of housework on women; ideas to easily create an office space at home; using greenery to reduce stress; simple ways to create personal space; multiple learning areas for children’s learning.
Inspiration: As a showflat, the project had to be highly functional and aspirational for prospective buyers to envision their lives in the space. Family life was at the core of all the decisions and was used as the point of departure for design exploration. Japanese and Scandinavian influences are used for their calming effects on the space. Located above a bustling neighbourhood, it helps to bring a certain peace to emphasize the fact that home should be, first and foremost, a place to unwind and relax.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2020 during the pandemic and was completed in October 2021. The project is located in Singapore.
Operation Flow: The apartment layout was changed to include open spaces to reduce "cabin fever" from being home for long periods. Family-friendly features throughout the unit include a raised platform that both segments the spaces and brings the child and taller parent closer, and see-through walls that allow parents to watch children. Quiet places were included for adults to take a break and for children to develop independently. These include a coffee bar in the kitchen and cosy alcoves for children to play.
