Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The cabinets design with the concept of a cross. Restructure and rearrange. By using the partitions between the living room, dining area, and the study room, this design was able to create a spacious and transparent view with the usage of simple colors and materials. This also enables the space to plays a role as a continuously hearty interactive area as well.
Dimensions & Packaging: The space is approximately 96 square feet.
Tags: concept of a cross, religious, harmony of the function, sliding door
Production Technology: The wood gives an image of not but decorations, pure faith; the natural lines and saturation formed by the cement shows a sense of nature and free of burden for an ideal house; the irregular patchwork of the hexagon tiles and the wood flooring shows the joy and pleasure of being free and easy in life.
Design Challenge: The rearrangement of the pipelines. Unlike new houses which have the water inlet valve indoors, old houses tents to have water entry in outdoors. to reroute the pipelines, need to find out the first water entry point in the indoor, but this could be very difficult as the markings on the original building plan might be unclear, hence these has to be found via opening up and searching in the pipelines physically.
Research: The whole area is planned and designed with natural materials. While renovating this 15 years old house, the designer needs to consider about rerouting the heat and cold pipelines, the restrictions of the height and structure, hence, there is no design made on the ceiling; On the other hand, exposed pipes were set on the ceiling for the convenience during reparations, and the pipes are needed to be rearrange and reroute in an ordered way. The common spaces (living room, study room) could draw in a large amount of natural lights with the continuous window effect, resulting in a room full of lights and shadows.
Inspiration: This design implies both the devout faith towards religious and also the ideal plan for home of the tenants. By using the partitions between the living room, dining area, and the study room, this design was able to create a spacious and transparent view with the usage of simple colors and materials. This also enables the space to plays a role as a continuously hearty interactive area as well.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2018 and finished in September 2018 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The main consideration in this design is the ratio of the importance of each role that different elements play in the whole design. From a modest image thinking point of view, the colors, ratio, usage of materials, every element is given its own role and they give off a unique spark when they are combined, and these can be seen in the details, which forms a sustainable spirit in the design.
