About Breath of Renewal 주거 인테리어 디자인

브레스 오브 리뉴얼(Breath of Renewal)은 4개 층에 걸쳐 281제곱미터 규모를 갖춘 30년 된 주택을 위한 주거 인테리어 디자인이다. 자연 채광과 맞통풍을 개선하기 위해 평면을 개방했으며, 명확한 동선이 거실, 다이닝, 사적 공간을 연결한다. 76제곱미터의 지하 홈짐에는 거울, 은폐형 수납장, 접이식 후크가 설치되었다. 선형 LED 프로파일을 적용한 맞춤 벤딩 스틸 조명은 연속적인 빛의 선을 형성한다. 새로 시공한 욕실에는 완전 방수와 미끄럼 방지 타일이 적용되었다. 저방출 마감재와 인증 합판은 저탄소 리모델링을 뒷받침한다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This project renews a thirty year old residence of eighty five ping into a home that supports wellness and daily living. The design opens the layout to bring in natural light and improve airflow while smooth circulation connects living, dining, and fitness areas. Custom lighting and updated bathrooms enhance comfort and efficiency. Materials are selected for durability and low emissions. The result is a calm interior with a clear spatial rhythm that blends health, sustainability, and emotional resonance.
Dimensions & Packaging: The residence has a total area of 281 square meters across four levels, including a basement gym of 76 square meters. Typical floor height is 3200 millimeters, with corridors at 1100 millimeters and doors at 900 millimeters. Lighting uses recessed linear fixtures at 24 volts and 12 watts per meter with a warm tone and high color rendering. Ventilation uses a heat recovery unit providing 360 cubic meters per hour. Finishes include low emission paint, eco panels, slip resistant tiles, glass mirrors, and rounded stone edges.

Production Technology: The interior renewal used demountable steel framing and modular gypsum partitions to reorganize spatial flow. Ventilation was enhanced with an energy recovery ventilator supporting cross ventilation, and daylighting was verified through basic simulation. Custom bent steel luminaires with integrated LED linear profiles were recessed to form continuous light lines. Bathrooms were rebuilt with full waterproofing, linear drains, and slip resistant tiles. Built in elements used plywood from certified sources, low emission finishes, and screw fix details to allow future disassembly and reuse.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to transform a dim and poorly ventilated house into a home that combines healthy living with exercise. Limited openings restricted airflow and daylight, while the brief required comfort and safety. Airflow and daylight simulations were used to reshape the plan, align cross ventilation, and install concealed glare free lighting with a high color rendering index. Reused and recyclable materials together with low emission finishes and modular details established a repeatable low carbon design approach.
Research: This human centered interior regeneration project transformed a dark and poorly ventilated house into a healthy home with integrated gym functions. Airflow and daylight simulations were used together with monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration, fine particle levels, and light intensity. The design improved cross ventilation, indoor air quality, and natural daylight distribution. Lighting with a high color rendering index combined with recycled and low emission materials enhanced comfort and safety. The outcome demonstrates a replicable model for sustainable low carbon residential retrofit.
Inspiration: Inspired by the idea of breath, the design follows how light and air move through daily life. Openings are aligned for cross ventilation, and circulation is kept clear and quiet. Curved ceilings and gentle linear lighting evoke the rhythm of inhale and exhale. A calm palette and sustainable materials create a serene interior that supports wellness, focus, and unhurried living.
Project Duration: The project commenced in July 2024 and was completed in June 2025, with the final handover taking place on July 15 2025. The site is located in Linkou District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Residents move through an open plan that connects living, dining, and private rooms in a continuous loop. A gentle ceiling line guides orientation and defines zones. In the gym, mirrors widen sight lines and hidden cabinets keep floors clear. Panels open for equipment access and close flush. Foldaway hooks support yoga and stretching. Fresh air runs continuously while soft colors and rounded edges promote calm, safety, and unhurried routines.
