About La Galerie Fonksyon Prensipal: Konsepsyon Enteryè Rezidansyèl

Tèks Liv: La Galerie se yon konsepsyon enteryè rezidansyèl pou yon apatman 132 mèt kare nan Taiwan. Kay 33 lane a te antyèman renove, tout separasyon yo te retire e chak zòn te redefini. Ton blan yo fòme yon background tankou yon galri pou tablo ki reprezante prentan, ete, otòn ak livè. Mi kwave yo gide mouvman epi sipòte sikilasyon limyè natirèl ak lè. Bwa, metal ki resikle, wòch ak twal yo itilize, e fenèt aliminyòm orijinal yo te retire epi resikle. Chanm prive yo itilize ton pi fonse tankou vèt fonse.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The space evokes the feeling of a painting, with layered green waves reminiscent of spring moss. A summer wave painting faces the floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting the warmth of sunlight and the scent of the sea breeze. The long, narrow layout allows natural light to flow from both ends, illuminating the dining area and kitchen. An autumn painting with deeper brushstrokes symbolizes the season, while curved walls create stability and guide movement. A winter-themed painting in the dining area captures the shifting light, completing the four-season theme.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 33-year-old apartment has a total area of 132 square meters, featuring three bedrooms, a study room, a living room, a dining room, two bathrooms, and a kitchen. In terms of layout planning, the designers undertook an almost complete renovation. They removed all the partitions and analyzed each space from an artistic perspective to redefine its purpose. Unlike the conventional layout where the living and dining areas are combined, this project was customized to better suit the owner's lifestyle, creating a unique flow.

Production Technology: The design incorporates wood and recycled metal, with the original aluminum windows removed and recycled for structural safety. Accents of metal strips, stone, and fabric add to the gallery-like atmosphere. The space features rich layers of white tones, with paintings representing the four seasons-spring, summer, autumn, and winter-strategically placed in the entryway, living room, corridor, and dining area to enhance each area's ambiance. In the private areas, darker, more subdued tones like dark green reflect the owner's personal preferences.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge stemmed from the structural limitations of the old building. Initially, all interior walls needed to be demolished, and the layout had to be reconfigured without compromising the building's structural integrity to meet both Feng-Shui requirements and the owner's lifestyle needs. Additionally, since the two owners have different work schedules, the designers had to create flexible dual master bedrooms, allowing the residents to use them independently at different times, which added complexity to the planning.
Research: The project, 'La Galerie NO.24,' transforms an old apartment into an artistic yet functional residence. Inspired by feng shui principles, the design revolves around a 'white gallery' concept, with curved corridors ensuring an open and seamless flow. Bright spaces and concealed storage enhance simplicity, while wave-like walls introduce movement. Seasonal paintings-spring dew, summer sun, autumn breeze, and winter moon-are highlighted with focused lighting, bringing depth to the design. This renovation reflects the owners' vision of a free-spirited lifestyle, blending aesthetics with practicality.
Inspiration: The owner possesses a youthful spirit that deeply values freedom and art. If this space were to be likened to a specific image, it would be an all-white, unconventional setting. The designers used flowing curves to create the themes for each area. Paintings and furniture are the centerpiece of this project, embodying the free-spirited, artistic essence that flows through the owner's veins. The project is themed as a 'white gallery,' with green, blue, orange, and gray symbolizing the changing seasons, reflecting the passage of time experienced by both the residents and the space.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The residents greatly appreciate the transformed space, especially the improved natural lighting and air circulation. They feel that these changes enhance both the aesthetics and comfort of their home. The design, inspired by the four seasons, creates a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, making time itself a part of the living experience. This artistic ambiance aligns perfectly with their lifestyle and taste, turning their home into a space that reflects both functionality and beauty.
