About Silence Mirror マンションのインテリアデザイン

「Silence Mirror（静寂の鏡）」は、台湾で改装されたマンションのインテリアデザインです。この住まいは面積112.3平方メートルで、築50年の建物内に位置しています。直線とシンプルな塊が、禅の美意識がもつ静けさを表現しています。ミネラルペイントが広い壁面を覆い、光を受けてまだら模様の自然な質感を見せます。大判タイルは目地のラインを目立たせず、トラバーチンが繊細な表情を加えています。余分な間仕切りを取り払うことで動線を広げ、団らんのための空間を拡大しました。収納はコアとなるゾーンに集約し、造作家具を減らして室内を整然と保っています。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Straight lines and simple blocks with natural materials interpret the calmness and aesthetics of Zen, giving modern spaces a unique sense of tranquility and harmony. In terms of storage and circulation planning, the designers minimized the necessary walking distance, making each step natural and smooth. Storages are concentrated in core areas to minimize cabinetry. This maximizes storage functionality while allowing the occupants to be minimized from the inner self to the home.
Dimensions & Packaging: The site is 112.3 square meters of 50-year-old apartment including a balcony, with 2 plus 1 rooms, a living room, a dining room, and 2 bathrooms. The original 3-room layout made the circulation narrow. Considering the space serves only two people, the designers removed the extra compartments and rearranged the layout to expand the social area and pet activity space. They removed walls in the kitchen and two rooms and replaced the study room door with a sliding glass door to increase flexibility. The toilet is also enlarged, and storage is added.

Production Technology: Materials: mineral paint, travertine, tiles, wood veneer, eco-friendly latex paint, etc. The project is characterized by straight lines and flat shapes. To add more layers between the blocks, the designers chose to cover large areas of the walls with paint. The mottled natural texture of the mineral paint creates a variety of layers when exposed to light. Large-size tiles minimize the lines in the space. Finally, the undecorated travertine gives the space a delicate texture under the simple material composition.
Design Challenge: The designers were faced with material, structural, and detailing challenges. All three require precise calculations and in-depth understanding. The first step was to upgrade the electrical plumbing system to address the limitations and pitfalls of the old building. Then, according to the design concept, the core of the project was to balance functionality and aesthetics through reduction. The designers worked through trial and error to achieve the perfect result. Each section was carefully planned to ensure that the result was aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Research: The designers used simple lines and natural materials to create an impression of Japanese Zen aesthetics. Reducing unnecessary decorations creates a quiet space for minimalist lovers. The design emphasizes the sense of layer and smoothness. The designers utilized straight lines and blocks to reveal the natural look of the materials and combine them with a variety of textures to interpret the calmness and inner beauty of Zen. In addition, the optimized storage and circulation design enhances the efficiency of the space and realizes the minimalism from the heart to the living space.
Inspiration: The project is a renovation of an old apartment. The owner has been living abroad for a long time and expects the home to have no complicated design and leave a natural and comfortable attitude to life. With this in mind, the designers used simple lines and natural materials to create an impression of Japanese Zen aesthetics. Reducing unnecessary decorations creates a quiet space for minimalist lovers. The layout optimizes storage and circulation efficiency, utilizing every inch of space while maximizing space efficiency. Natural textured materials embody the aesthetics of Zen inner peace.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Owners are extremely satisfied with their new living space and especially appreciate the storage solutions and the sliding door. The overall design is aesthetically pleasing and functional, and the integration of storage space makes the interior tidy and harmonious. Family members feel the positive impact of the remodel and enjoy the comfort and functionality. Optimized storage keeps the home clean and orderly by concentrating items in a few core locations, making it easy to find and organize items.
