About Spirit of Stillness Konsepsyon Enteryè Apatman

Spirit of Stillness se yon konsepsyon enteryè apatman ki kouvri 120 mèt kare nan vil Taipei, Taiwan. Konsepsyon an konbine filozofi oryantal ak yon estetik modèn pou kreye yon espas kalm nan mitan yon vil okipe. Yon apwòch an twa pati bay menm valè a travay, lwazi ak repo. Mi prensipal la fèt ak fragman wòch resikle, epi mi atistik la fini ak penti italyen ki respekte anviwònman an. Yon estrikti metal kache sipòte yon eskilti Bodhisattva ki peze 30 kilogram. Limyè natirèl, eklerasyon LED ki ekonomize enèji, materyèl izolasyon tèmik ak plant ki pirifye lè a amelyore konfò a.

Thermal insulating materials improve ventilation while hidden metal elements give support to the Bodhisattva sculpture. Throughout the production process, rigorous sustainability standards were followed to ensure environmental compatibility.
Design Challenge: The most significant challenge was balancing opposing elements such as Eastern and Western aesthetics, sustainability, and luxury, along with tradition and innovation. Regulatory constraints regarding sustainable materials presented logistical challenges, and maintaining aesthetic integrity required attention to every detail. Overcoming these challenges necessitated meticulous planning, extensive research, and the harmonization of various factors to achieve a cohesive final design.

Traditional elements are merged with modern aesthetics, creating a dialogue between the past and present, realized through meticulous research and planning.
Project Duration: This project commenced its design phase in March 2023 and concluded in August 2023. It is situated in Taipei City, Taiwan.
