About Lockdown Shelter Íbúðarhúsnæði - innanhússhönnun

Lockdown Shelter er innanhússhönnun íbúðarhúsnæðis staðsett í háhýsi miðja vegu upp fjall í Taívan. Hringlaga göngustígur kemur í stað innveggja, dregur dagsbirtu inn og gerir kleift að stunda innandyra hreyfingu á borð við jóga og líkamsrækt. Rennihurðir úr gleri hleypa ljósi inn en halda einkarýminu aðskildu. Opna borðstofan og eldhúsið innihalda barsvæði og sérsmíðað sýprisviðarborð. Meðal efna eru arkitektúrsteypa, viðarparket, sýprisviður, kvarsflísar og marmari. Skrautlistar eru í lágmarki svo náttúruleg efni og hlutlausir litir njóti sín.

Unique Properties
The circular layout of the progressive residence offers intuitive and diverse options to the occupants when facing the turning points. When there are only two people in the space, the window side sliding door can be opened to enjoy the window view and enhance the interior lighting. In this way, the spaciousness is not limited to the outdoors but can be filled inside. When visitors drop in, the sliding doors provide a highly flexible space, and the circular walkway allows for high space utilization by the number of people.
Dimensions & Packaging
The original layout was 4 bedrooms. In consideration of the number of main users, the designers took the extra room space to expand the master bathroom to provide a more comfortable experience. The clients can enjoy a relaxing bath while viewing the scenery of the bamboo forest outside the window. As for the private area, it is an open plan. The spacious dining room and kitchen are well-equipped and functional, including a bar area with a juice machine, a customized cypress table, and an electronic screen for hanging pictures.

Production Technology
Building materials: architectural concrete, large chamfered wood floors, cypress, quartz tiles, marble, metal tiles, wallpaper, stainless steel, etc. The project is based on natural materials and colors. The walls are made of light-colored wood grain and architectural concrete. The rustic architectural concrete is displayed on the main visual walls, such as the TV wall and bar wall, while the flooring is covered with dark quartz tiles and wood flooring. As for the lines, the design team used herringbone and 1/3 flooring to present multiple layers.
Design Challenge
It is not difficult to achieve a reduced interior design, but it is hard to achieve only the essence and retain the aesthetics in a large space. Reduction is not about empty space, but considering the living function, daily needs, and the visual expression of the space with as little decoration as possible. The design team took two elements, "wood and stone", to create various possibilities in the project. The warmth of the wood and the strength of the stone can meet the needs of the interior design.
Research
The project is in a high-rise apartment halfway up the hill, with fresh air and abundant daylight. The interior design prioritizes the amplification of these conditions. The circular walkway eliminates partitions and optimizes lighting, while the light-transmitting, yet private, glass sliding doors enhance lighting and maintain privacy for the private area. The interior retains the original look of materials and removes ornamentation, reducing decorative trims and unnecessary decorative materials in the large space.
Inspiration
The site is located halfway up the mountain, and the project was carried out during the epidemic with a design that prioritized the ability to exercise at home in case of future lockdowns. The design team created a wrap-around walkway that draws natural light into the room. The clients, who are nearing retirement, wanted a large-scale space that would be as relaxing as the view from the windows. At the same time, the design team planned functionalities according to the client's future needs, creating a relaxing residence that harmonizes with the surrounding mountains and forests.
Project Duration
The project finished in August 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
According to its definition, the 'progressive' retirement home can be changed in the future according to the needs of the clients. First, it can become a space for middle-aged people to exercise. When there is no partition in the circular walkway, the comfortable and spacious space can serve yoga, fitness, and other situations. Secondly, it can be a perfect place for family and friends to visit. The open-plan public area with a large-scale kitchen island and bar can accommodate more than 20 people.
