About Parrot and Human 住宅インテリアデザイン

「Parrot and Human」は、台湾・新北市に暮らす夫婦とペットのオウムのための住宅インテリアデザインである。住まいは56平方メートルで、玄関、リビング、ダイニング、キッチン、寝室、セミオープンの書斎、バスルームで構成されている。木の素材と植物が空間に自然な趣を与えている。造作の鉄部材や壁面のトラスは、オウムの止まり木として機能する。共用空間の三角形の屋根形状は鳥かごの形を想起させ、梁とエアコンを巧みに隠している。間仕切りは天井まで達しない設計とし、オウムが自由に飛び回れるよう配慮されている。

Unique Properties: In the co-living residence of parrot–human, the living style of residents as well as the habits of the parrot should be taken into consideration to create a pet-friendly space that meets the needs of each family member. Abundant organic wooden elements infuse the warmth coming out from the depths of the forest, while the trusses and ironworks on the wall allow the parrot to perch on.
Dimensions & Packaging: In the space of 56 square meters, there are an entrance, one living room, one dining room, one kitchen, one bedroom, one semi-open study room and one bathroom.
Tags: Interior Design, Residential, Parrot, Mineral paint, Triangular Roof
Production Technology: Layered environmental protection material, calcium silicate board, bamboo charcoal all effect anti-formaldehyde latex paint, mineral paint, Moisture-proof plastic plywood, wood grain plastic floor, customized iron parts, tempered glass, flame-proof and antibacterial curtain.
Design Challenge: In terms of the design of canopy, high ceilings ensure good ventilation and maximize the living space for the parrot. The sloped triangular roof invokes the image of a birdcage to strengthen family bonds, and conceals the structural beams and air conditioner, making the design aesthetically gratifying, yet functional and pragmatic. Low beams span across the hanging light fixtures, and the triangular trusses on the outside soften the oppressiveness of the volume. The surface is covered with gray mineral paint to create rich layers in colors.
Research: The partitions in the study room and kitchen do not attach to the ceiling to preserve the unobstructed space at top for the parrot to fly freely as well as strengthening the interaction between the owners and the parrot. In the semi-open study room, the walls are installed with storage cabinets and bed frame to make hosting overnight guests a breeze. Roller blinds are fitted inside of the glass partition to maintain privacy inside.
Inspiration: The couple treat the parrot as a member of the family. They love and care for it like their own child. To embody the love across species, a triangular roof in the common area creates an image of a birdcage. It symbolizes a family of three under the same roof and brings every family member closer. To fulfill the needs of the parrot, the entryway is decorated with ironworks to serve as perches. Veneer and plants give the room an earthy vibe and a beautiful natural aesthetic.
Project Duration: The project is finished in June 2022 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In the common area, the open floor plan brings natural light into the home and eliminates the disadvantage of single-sided lighting, allowing the residence to be immersed in soft white warm light. Upon opening the door, the hexagonal tiles in Morandi gray delineate the entryway that stop dust from ever entering the home, while the colors of low chroma serve as a transition zone from the outside to the inside to create a stable visual sense gradually.
The cabinets are wrapped with curves on the main TV wall to eliminate the abruptness, while the golden lines on the upper section meander along, leading to a smooth visual movement.The half-height wall behind the sofa provides a slight width for the parrot to rest easily and keep owners company. The shallow countertop is horizontally linked to the kitchen island with a bar counter. After a twist, the countertop is widened to create a perfect dining space.
In order to make the space look simpler and purer, doors to the bedroom and bathroom are hidden cleverly. Starting from the shoe cabinet at the entryway, the same surface material wraps around the structure to make the space neat and clean.
Rustic earthy colors and bright white set the tone for a lovely bedroom design. The warm light spreads from the head of a bed, creating a relaxed, quiet, and soothing atmosphere.
