About Port Kay Vakans

Port se yon kay vakans ki gen 201.6 mèt kare nan Kaohsiung, Taiwan, ak yon vi sou pò a. Yo te chanje plan orijinal la ki te gen de chanm pou fè li vin twa chanm, konsa fanmi ak zanmi ka rete alèz. Yon amwa sèvi kòm mi ant de chanm yo, sa ki ekonomize espas, ajoute plas pou sere bagay epi diminye transmisyon son. Espas pou viv la ofri twa kote pou moun reyini: yon zòn sofa, yon tab manje ak yon ba ki plase nan de pwent opoze. Yon ton nwa, yon plafon ak griy ak yon miwa nwa anba pout la diminye pwa vizyèl pout ki ba yo, pandan fòm koube yo adousi enteryè a.

Production Technology: The owners have considered the structural problems such as low beam lines and large beams and columns. Therefore, the practice of not capping the roof is adopted, and the top surface is decorated with grille and flat nail ceiling, which avoids further compression of the height of the house while beautifying. Moreover, it starts from the color, to use the black color with retraction function, and then installs a black mirror at the bottom of the beam.
Design Challenge: The living room is designed with black tone and iron elements. Although it achieves the effect of hiding the roof beam and focusing the sight on the window scenery and furniture, it also creates a cool texture virtually. In order to avoid the space atmosphere is too hard and cold, the arc shape is appropriately added in the decoration, so as to play the role of softening the overall environment and adding a soft atmosphere.
Research: To meet the accommodation needs of a family of four members, one bedroom is divided into two bedrooms to achieve the purpose of increasing a bedroom. However, the engineering method of using bricks to form the compartment is abandoned, but using the wardrobe as a room wall, which avoids adding a new wall to compress the bedroom area, and just like adding a sound insulation equipment because of the hanging clothes in the wardrobe, while providing storage spaces for two bedrooms, with better effect of blocking the sound transmission.
Inspiration: In everyone's heart, there is a port for freedom, just like ship enters port. The house is located in the bay area of Kaohsiung, with a panoramic view of the Kaohsiung Harbor. The decoration not only creates a high-level luxurious black tone and the basic life quality and functions, but also highlights the beautiful scenery of sea and sky outside the window. The detail of construction method matches this case very well, which is the focus of the design.
Project Duration: The project took 7 months and was finished in May 2024 in Kaohsiung.
Operation Flow: In addition to being a holiday home, there is also the need to entertain relatives and friends. Therefore, by observing the habits of male and female owners, it is found that they prefer to communicate with their friends in different places. The dining table and the bar are specially placed at both ends to create a living area layout of three reception spaces, including the sofa zone. The male host is used to gathering with relatives and friends in the dining place, while the hostess, who likes to make tea and cook light food to entertain friends, uses the bar as the main gathering place.
