About Pucks Blue Private Homes

Pucks Blue is a private residence interior of 410 square meters in Ningbo, China. The layout replaces the traditional rectangular plan with diagonal lines and geometric blocks, which create varied levels and a strong sense of depth. A skylight ceiling and non-parallel facades add further variation to the spatial structure. Blue and white artistic paint recalls the childhood memories and the years abroad of the owner. Boundaries between the functional areas are softened, so the open interior can also serve as a place for social gatherings.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The upgrading of visual artistry and physical sensibility has pushed the emotions of people and things to a higher aesthetic level. The designer replaces the decoration and stacking of redundant elements with the contrast of colors to create the implicit power of the space subject itself, thus enhancing the intuitive feeling of the beauty of the field.
Inspiration
Taking social interaction as the starting point, the modern and avant-garde residence closely blends people's current life with the multiple changes of space form, which conveys the beauty pursuit of the new generation of residents, as well as the spiritual proposition of alternative living conditions.
Research
Blue and white represent the unforgettable childhood memories of the owner, and also represent the experience of foreign life. The designer uses the blue and white artistic paint to arouse the owner's inner feelings and display the elegant, pure and avant-garde living room. The proper use of color blending gives the space comfortable natural texture. The profound unknowns in life experience form a concrete expression.
Challenge
Many changeable and avant-garde residences fit the natural space with open public attributes, and become an important large-scale social carrier in the owner's life, creating a more trendy social experience. While breaking the sense of distance in the functional area, the designer greatly weakens the boundary division of the mutual transformation and transition of various living situations. The visual boundary is weakened, assisted by tone processing, creating a sense of flexibility.
Realization and Technology
Many geometric local blocks strengthen the variety of levels and aesthetic interest in the interior, and reflect the different tastes pursued by groups rich in modern home concepts beyond the rules of the residence. The designer breaks the inherent rectangular style of the traditional plane, diagonally deals with the dynamic line relationship, and uses straight lines to strengthen the three-dimensional sense of space.
Operation and Interaction
The skylight ceiling decoration, non-parallel facade and other local designs increase the variability of the space structure. The creativity of the form composition and the novel and unique life style echo each other, and the visual enjoyment and emotional infection are upgraded simultaneously. The experiencer who is in it forms a perceptual dialogue with the artistic expression of space.
