About Ripples of Time Innanhússhönnun íbúðar

Ripples of Time er innanhússhönnun íbúðarhúsnæðis þar sem tvær einingar eru sameinaðar í 1056 fermetra heimili fyrir fjölskyldu margra kynslóða. Upprunalegu burðarsúlurnar 13 eru klæddar hálfgagnsæjum steini þannig að burðarvirkið verður að listrænu einkenni. Frístandandi hljóð- og myndeining kemur í stað hefðbundins sjónvarpsveggjar og heldur víðáttumiklu útsýninu opnu. 4,7 metra langt marmaraborðstofuborð er borið uppi af faldri stálgrind þannig að engir borðfætur eru nauðsynlegir. Endurunninn ítalskur steinn og samþætt snjallheimiliskerfi eru notuð um allt heimilið.

Production Technology
The design methodology transforms the original structure into an artistic flow. Key features include the living room's TV wall free design and an intricate CNC carved marble screen at the entrance. The project utilizes diverse materials, from translucent stone on columns to a 470kg raw stone sink in the bathroom. The 4.7 meter suspended marble table, which uses an invisible steel structure to eliminate table legs and create a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Design Challenge
A key challenge was transforming the building's 13 structural columns from obstacles into artistic features. The design required solving complex engineering problems, such as securely suspending a 4.7 meter marble table and a 470kg stone sink. Balancing the demands of grand entertaining with the intimacy needed for multi generational living was also crucial. Finally, integrating a sophisticated smart home system seamlessly from the initial design phase presented a unique technical and creative hurdle.
Research
This project involved significant engineering innovation. To support the 4.7 meter dining table, a complex steel frame with over 700 components was engineered and concealed within the bar counter. The 470kg stone sink also required a custom steel support system for safe suspension. Additionally, the smart home system was integrated from the start, extending to advanced humidity and air pressure controls, ensuring optimal air quality and a seamless user experience.
Inspiration
The design draws inspiration from the building's original architectural structure, transforming its 13 structural columns and symmetrical layout into a rhythmic, artistic statement. A key motive was to seamlessly integrate the natural landscape, using views of the Taichung skyline and Central Mountain Range as a core design element to harmonize with nature, art, and function.
Project Duration
The project finished in August 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The design is highly interactive and user focused. The smart home system allows residents to control the entire environment via voice or smartphone for different scenarios. Spatial fluidity is key, with non directional sofas and a circular flow in the bedrooms encouraging social interaction. The custom designed dining tables are not only visually striking but also highly practical, with a leg free design that ensures comfort and facilitates large scale entertainment. The tea room's motorized lift table provides functional flexibility.
