About Beside Sacred Tree 住宅インテリアデザイン

「Beside Sacred Tree（神木のかたわら）」は、台湾・草屯にある古い農家を改築した住宅である。この住宅は、樹齢1600年の楠である七股神木の背後に佇む。建物は敷地のわずか4分の1のみを占め、残りの area は環境保全のために緑地として維持されている。設計では、中国庭園でしばしば用いられる「借景」の手法を採り入れている。フォルムはシンプルで白を基調とし、大きな開口部がそれぞれ異なる景色を切り取る。木製家具、白い壁、温かみのある床材が、室内と庭とを結びつける。樹木と陽光は、白い壁面に柔らかな影を落とす。

Unique Properties: The design concept is to honor the green space and to borrow the scenery which is a strategy often used in Chinese garden. Following the concept, the house is shaped simply and neat with white color and big openings for different views. This white building becomes a stage which sets off those trees and shows the wavering shadows.
Dimensions & Packaging: The floor area of the house is 2000 square meters.
Tags: landscape, farmhouse, rebuild, sacred tree, nature
Production Technology: Using wood furniture, white wall, big openings along with warm ceiling and floor, the bedrooms are also designed with the same principle. Having quality layout for the bedrooms, the spare space are used for family room and balcony. Each room looks similar but with different details.
Inside master bedroom, the TV wall is made of pieced sicamone wood using curve cutting design, and creates a smooth visual sense. Similarly, the second bedroom has the same material for the back of bed with different cutting. The other walls are built up with creamy marble which look conformity with the entire space.
Design Challenge: In contrast with the white wall, the dining table is made of wood with dark color which become the main character in the dining room. People can touch the wood table while enjoying the trees and scenery outside the house.
Research: Rebuilding from a farmhouse, this project located behind the "Qigu sacred tree" only occupies 1/4 of the land, and the remaining space is kept mostly green in order to conserve the environment.
The fence around house is designed as tall as the bottom of the tree crown, allowed people enjoying the landscape outside and the garden inside. Keeping native trees and planting a variety of evergreen trees, the building is planned carefully to fit the original scenery.
Inspiration: In the outskirts of Caotun, Taiwan, there is a 1600-year-old camphor tree which has a crown spread of 30 meters. People call it the "Qigu sacred tree", a tall and magnificent landscape. Rebuilding from a farmhouse, this project is located behind the "Qigu sacred tree".
Project Duration: The project finished in 2019 in Caotun, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The interior space focuses on dialogue with the borrowing scenery. Using wood furniture, white wall, and materials with warm wood color, the indoor space has a harmonious relationship with the outdoor space which makes people feel cozy and natural. Trees and sunshine are brought into rooms through the big openings and cast a shadow on the white wall.
