About Salute to the S Innanhússhönnun íbúðar

Salute to the S er innanhússhönnun 78 fermetra íbúðar í Taipei í Taívan, sem er hönnuð fyrir þriggja manna fjölskyldu. Skipulagið sækir innblástur í hönnunarhugmyndafræði Philippe Starck og skapar jafnvægi milli mínimalisma og maximalisma, ljóss og myrkurs. Stórt óreglulegt loftljós, byggt á samspili íhvolfra og kúptra linsa, skiptir um lit yfir borðstofusvæðinu. Innbyggður bekkur umhverfis eyjuna bætir við sætum fyrir samverustundir. Málning og plötur með lágu VOC-innihaldi ásamt LED-lýsingu voru notuð í öllu rýminu.

Unique Properties

Production Technology
The giant, mirror-shaped, irregular ceiling light pays homage to Starck’s masterpiece, which works on the interplay between concave and convex lenses. While the light color shifts, a splendid, surreal atmosphere imbues the dining area. The built-in banquette maximizes seating around the island, encouraging intimate gatherings and creating a tasteful lifestyle with a sense of occasion.
Design Challenge
Complemented by soft furnishings, a white-based, well-structured, and linear-layered backdrop frames the view of the surrounding greenery. A lumpy red carpet that can be moved adds a playful vibrancy to the sunlit and minimal living area. The main wall stretches in an elongated arc, leading a slithering transition toward the dining section.
Research
To comply with sustainable consciousness, only eco-friendly materials were applied during the construction. For example, both the paint and carpentry boards are low VOC and GREENGUARD certified. Lighting fixtures are assembled with LED devices to efficiently save energy.
Inspiration
Through a serial arrangement of Starck’s iconic signatures, the space is full of a tapestry of contrasts. Clean-lined, contrasting and subversive design elements establish a spatial narrative that feels both simple and sensual, echoing the essence of modern artistry. Backlit indirect lighting accentuates layers of dynamic streamlines, unveiling a sense of fluid movement. Living flows gently between the light and the dark, minimalism and maximalism, stillness and motion, enriching the family in a harmonious rhythm of artistry and innovation which is deeply connected to modern aesthetics.
Project Duration
Taipei city, Taiwan
Operation Flow
This apartment benefits from sweeping mountain views, embracing its natural surroundings for the family of three. At the entrance, a round-angled pillar demarcates the space into distinct areas, while the horn-shaped ceiling evokes Starck’s understated design motif. Along the pseudo-cement paneled pathway, the color palette transitions from pale hues to deep, multi-textured tone in the culinary section. While the overall ambiance varies, the dining area inherits the symbols of Starck with a theatrical twist.
