About M Loft 아파트 리노베이션

M Loft는 재택근무를 하는 1인 거주자를 위해 조성된 상하이 마이크로 아파트의 리노베이션 프로젝트이다. 평면 구성은 생활 공간과 업무 공간을 하나로 이어주며, 넉넉한 서재와 수납공간을 제공한다. 부드러운 색감과 선명한 결을 지닌 자작나무 보드를 넓은 백색 면과 조합함으로써, 창이 하나뿐임에도 실내는 밝고 개방적인 느낌을 유지한다. 무광 블랙 디테일은 차분한 톤을 더한다. 슬림한 금속 핸드레일은 현장에서 용접되었으며, 마이터 접합을 적용해 연결부가 거의 드러나지 않도록 처리하였다.

Production Technology: Birch board is a commonly used building material with high-quality properties and is a material that owners and designers like very much. The birch board with unique texture and soft color, combined with a large area of white, makes the space still bright and spacious even if there is only one window, and the local matte black embellishment adds a calm temperament.
Design Challenge: The metal that appears as a line in the space has encountered a great test in the construction. It is not easy to make the metal thin enough with the existing construction ability and need to bear enough strength without deforming, and the handling of the junction between the metals is also a difficult point. However, our obsession with slender and straight metal and the requirement for concealed edges at the junction make the on-site construction extremely difficult.
Research: Work has gradually become the center of life of urban people, so can work and life be perfectly integrated? We hope to find a home space suitable for people living alone in the city, so that people can live and work together, reduce the frequency of overtime, increase the length of home stay, and improve the quality of life.
Inspiration: The work of a designer is always closely related to life, and it is necessary to study and work at all times. In order to facilitate long hours of work, the office space has begun to live. So if we integrate the work space into our lives, will it reduce the frequency of people working overtime and improve the quality of life?
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 in Shanghai and finished in August 2020 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: Communicate the needs with the owner in the early stage, understand the owner's personality and living habits, whether there are special design needs, etc. After entering the scene to feel the actual situation of the space, and then began to design.
The architect owner likes minimalism, likes clean lines and neat and orderly order, and hopes that the home can have enough study and work space and a lot of storage space.
