About Essence of Time 住宅インテリアデザイン

「Essence of Time」は、台北市にある40平方メートルのアパートメントのための住宅インテリアデザインです。プランには、玄関、リビングエリア、ダイニングエリア、2つの寝室、1つのバスルーム、そしてキッチンが含まれています。不要な壁を取り払って空間を開放し、壁面にはホワイトグレーのミネラルペイントを、床にはミネラル系フローリングを採用しました。曲線を描く壁が玄関と隣接するエリアを仕切り、視覚的な焦点として機能します。連続する木製キャビネットが収納を提供します。モノクロームの配色と多様なテクスチャーが、ジャパンディスタイルを体現しています。

Production Technology: In order to achieve the openness and cohesiveness within the space, designer removed unnecessary architectural wall and applied white-grey mineral paint onto walls and mineral flooring. Designer also introduced the curve form for foyer as area divider and also serves as a media to soften the space. A space was created with minimum materials yet with varied texture expressions throughout time and its interaction with natural light. A space with timeless style but it varied by time.

Materials were selected based on its natural traits and texture. For the wood and white-gray mineral paint, designer keeps its wood grain and artisan’s touchup, both provides abundant material expression under monochrome scheme.
