About The River is Everywhere 주거 인테리어 디자인

'강은 어디에나 있다(The River is Everywhere)'는 타이베이시에 위치한 200제곱미터 규모 아파트의 주거 인테리어 디자인이다. 이 디자인은 인근의 강과 영적 여정이라는 주제에서 영감을 얻었다. 현관 천장은 부드러운 곡선으로 리모델링되었다. 거실 파티션 벽에 켜켜이 배치된 개구부는 강에서 바라본 나무를 연상시키는 그림자를 드리운다. 회벽 마감은 수작업으로 완성되어 개방형 평면에 깨끗하고 밝은 분위기를 부여한다. 대리석과 플라스틱 시트로 제작하고 곡면 거울 다리를 더한 맞춤형 다이닝 카운터가 공간 중앙에 자리한다.

Unique Properties: Creating a journey on the river for the flow of space of the owners, Upon entering a 200-square-metre apartment, its living room’s the refined textures that first impress. The ceiling of entry was remodelled to create a sleek curved line, rhythm bores applied on partition walls in the living room were elegantly layered across the space to reflect the shadow of trees, like the scene from the river.
The wooden private space, it seems like a boundary between the rivers and caves warmly exits.
Dimensions & Packaging: 200-square-metre apartment
Tags: interior design, minimalist
Production Technology: By hand-craft plaster and specialist trades, the house creates an opportunity to experience the interior as a series of surfaces and textures.
We also hoped that utilising a tactile selection of material would give the space’s open floor plan a clean, brightly quality.
Dominating the centre of space is a bespoke dining counter crafted from marble and plastic sheet inlaid with a curved shape mirror leg where the sculptural object can slightly reflect natural lights and shadow movements.
Design Challenge: For the realization processes, we always conceive of ourselves as a conceptual and experimental designer with a more minimalist vision for the clients, but from a local social perspective in Taiwan, the design of residence has to use plenty of decorative elements to be magnificent.
We are intending to achieve the aesthetic of design methods and materials reconfigured and adapted to suit the needs of the local culture.
We hope that would be a magical way of process slowly extracts all the essences and aroma of Taiwan.
Research: Chinese had been developed the Xin Dian area along the river by boat since 1909. Nowadays, the development of the area has been built for river sightseeing and urban community.
The purpose of the research of the site location is to try to find out a connection between the background of the owner, the change of Xin Dian and its impacts through “homospatial thinking”.
We deeply believe that result of creating rivers and time flowing must necessarily become a unique experiment for the inhabitant to develop their own existence in the space.
Inspiration: Features of geography inspired us to make all of these things happen, such as a river surrounded by the apartment, watercourses surrounded by the location of the site.

The client’s background and story recall the character from the novel “Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse.

Referencing the spiritual journey of self-discovery of the man in the book to the design minimalist language. The most attractive part is he learned and experienced through the river.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 in Taipei City and finished in May 2021.
Operation Flow: The keyframe is how to convert the invisible concept into the visible objects in the space.
Especially the concept is from a character who has been learned and experienced through the river.
We took the scenes that he saw, the means that he seeking to be free and open to profound in the inner of peace, to transforming the philosophy that we felt from the role in the book into the design processes.
We used the natural materials and form of function objects to complement the apartment’s placid interior.
It is an artful lesson on how to align comfort and simplicity.
