About Concavity and Convexity Enteryè Sant Resepsyon

Konkavite ak Konveksite se yon sant resepsyon de-etaj ki sitiye nan Taoyuan, Taiwan. Enteryè a konbine liy klasik ak materyo modèn. Panno griyaj galvanize yo itilize kòm ekran ak kòm plafon toutotou eskalye yo. Griyaj la kite limyè pase atravè li, konsa limyè ak lonbraj deplase sou mi blan senp yo. Yon koridò ak reyi nwa ak blan ansanm ak miwa nwa kreye yon efè vizyèl ki sanble ak yon tinèl. Plafon an fòme pa yon kolaj eskilte asimetrik olye de yon aranjman simetrik. Konsepsyon an te enspire pa penti Pierre Soulages yo.

Unique Properties
The interior is designed with modern elements to interpret the classical style, bringing galvanized mesh panels into the space as screens and ceilings between staircases. The mesh panel has a penetrating characteristic to bring in light, so that the space can form natural ripples and dance with light and shadow. This design creates an artistic and stylish appearance through the use of contradictory elements.
Dimensions & Packaging
Construction began in February 2021 and was completed in June 2021.
The total square footage is 1170 square meters. Located in Taoyuan, Taiwan, the two-story reception center includes a meeting area, audio visual room, exhibition area, VIP ROOM, pantry and lounge.

Production Technology
The concept of the corridor comes from Pierre Soulages paintings, using black and white stripes and black mirrors to create a visual interlacing effect, like a time tunnel. Through the mirror effect, light and different materials blending with each other, enlarging the depth of field and bringing spaciousness. The design of the ceiling is different from the common symmetrical approach, and is illustrated by asymmetrical collage carvings, allowing the classical to be presented in a modern form.
Design Challenge
This is not a newly built project, but a retrofit of the original building. Corrugated sheet and galvanized mesh panels are the symbol of inexpensive materials in Taiwan, often used in factories and countryside bungalows. In this case, the designer has taken a common, mundane material and elevated its value with the use of color palette, structure and classical elements to make it both modern and technological.
Research
In Pierre Soulages paintings, the squeegee is used to create strong color blocks and stripes on the paint. The texture becomes the visual focal point, and the presence of light is felt in the concavity and convexity of the paint. Therefore, this project is based on the development of a classical and modern space, full of texture and the flow of light and shadow.
Inspiration
Inspired by the abstract painter Pierre Soulages, the design explores the changing relationship between black, line and light through Pierre Soulages powerful and textured style of painting. The designer uses light as a design element, and through the reflection and interplay of colors and spatial textures, a sense of natural rhythm is derived from the space.
Project Duration
This project is built in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The designer installed galvanized mesh panels and metallic water ripple glass panels in the staircase, open the sense of space through the large vertical window openings. With a large amount of light and plain white walls, the designer let the expression of the space change with the weather and time of day.
