The Design

About The Mermaid's Stambeni interijer

Sirena je stambeni interijer stana od 90 četvornih metara na Tajvanu. Prostor je zamišljen kao galerija za vlasnikovu kolekciju, umjesto kao konvencionalan dom. Figura sirene iz nove kolekcije postala je središnja tema, određujući polumonokromatsku paletu i smirenu atmosferu. Klasične profilacije koriste se kao dizajnerski alat. Vertikalne linije čine prostor vizualno višim, a ujedno skrivaju vrata soba i ormare za pohranu. Svakodnevne funkcije su skrivene kako bi se zadržao jednostavan vizualni dojam. Namještaj je odabran kako bi se postigao kontrast između ravnih i zakrivljenih oblika.

Behind the Design

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

Unique Properties: During the design, came a new collection - a little Mermaid. Her serene quality caught me and my mind started to evolve around her. She became the focal point and anchor of the space, the tone of the ambiance, and the source of the semi-monochrome palette.

In the end, the entire space is the extend-dimension of this fantastical creature. She is the soul of this space; the soul that reflect the essence of the elegant lady.
Dimensions & Packaging: The interior space is 90 square-meter.

Production Technology: The classical molding here is used not merely as decoration but more as a design tool. Its vertically stretching quality makes the space appears to be higher than it actually is. It also hides away the doors of rooms and storage cabinets, unified and simplified the visual elements, and create a sense of serenity and calmness for the space.
Design Challenge: The main challenge of this project is about finding balance, mainly between practicality and fantasy, decorative and minimal, classical and modern.
Research: This project is an experiment of utilizing the owner's collection not merely as ornament, but to be the main concept and inspiration of the space. And also, to incorporate the owner's fascination of classical molding into contemporary design.
Inspiration: In the beginning, the owner of this apartment, an elegant and beautiful lady, told me that she would like to live in a place, where its ambiance is ambiguous, less like a home, more like a sanctuary in dream, in which she could be isolated and indulged with her on-going collections in this timeless, sacred space.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2017 in Taiwan and finished in June 2018.
Operation Flow: To respond to the owner's wish to live in a not-home-like place, I conceive the entire space as a gallery of her collections and display of her taste. Daily function and storage are hidden away to create a sense of optimal airy-ness, so the eyes only see the most essentials. Furniture selection focuses on the quality of contrast between straight and curve, thick and thin, light and heavy, as they are displayed sculptural pieces. As for the Mermaid, its elements are used throughout the entire space; the choice of materials, the fabrics, and colors, are all inspired by her.
