About Life Flow 소형 홈 오피스, 주거 인테리어 디자인

라이프 플로우(Life Flow)는 가족의 주거 공간과 결합된 소형 홈 오피스로, 전용 면적 122제곱미터의 아파트와 10제곱미터의 발코니에 조성되었다. 중앙에 놓인 회의용 테이블이 업무 공간을 형성하며, 그 외 모든 기능 공간이 이 테이블을 둘러싸도록 배치되었다. 고정 벽체 대신 슬라이딩 도어를 적용하여 개인 공간을 닫아 두거나 개방할 수 있으며, 개방 시 오피스를 감싸는 거의 연속적인 순환 동선이 형성된다. 낮은 수납장과 오픈 선반은 실내로 빛이 더 깊이 스며들도록 한다. 블랙 메탈 프레임은 모서리를 보호하는 동시에 대비 효과를 더한다. 석재와 목재 바닥재는 각 기능 영역을 구분해 준다.

Unique Properties
The goals of this project are functionality for the current owners, a couple with a newborn, while also allowing easy modification for future owners. This Small Home Office features a central conference table for conducting business, while all other functional areas surround the workspace. With flowing lines and sliding doors as walls, work can continue while the other family members can use other private spaces without interference.
Dimensions & Packaging
This apartment comprises 122m2 of interior space with one small outdoor balcony of an additional 10m2. The layout includes one bedroom, one living room, one conference room, one kitchen, one full bath and one half bath.

Production Technology
Replacing walls with minimal cabinets and open shelves, more light is allowed into the entire space. Sliding doors section off private spaces or can be opened up, creating an almost continuous ring around the central office space. Open cabinetry and separating walls are highlighted with a black metal outline to protect against damage and contrast with their surroundings. Various types and grades of stone & wood flooring is used throughout to emphasize and reflect the functionality of the spaces.
Design Challenge
Transforming a four bedroom space into the dual role of small office/home office and living space for a couple with a newborn while still maximizing resale value in comparison to surrounding properties. The other major challenge was finding a balance between public and private areas and a fluidity between both of these roles.
Research
Knowing that this property will be sold by the current owner in the future, the designers explored the surrounding properties and their price range to target the maximum resale potential while balancing remodeling costs. In this market, the pricing of apartments and bank loan amounts are generally tied to the number of bedrooms an apartment has, making this a difficult decision in balancing the needs of a SOHO vs. a private residence.
Inspiration
At UrBesign, the clients and their aesthetics should be reflected in the design, rather than those of the designer. Designs reflect the personality of the client. With this project for a couple and their newborn, establishing a home office balanced with a suitable residential space was paramount. The driving concepts are balance between time,space,and interactions between the various users of the space while minimizing the amount of materials used yet maximizing the impact of the space.
Project Duration
This project finished in May 2019.
Operation Flow
Entering the property through a small entrance hallway, visitors are greeted with a central conference table for conducting business. Sliding doors allow the obscuring of all other functional areas surrounding the workspace. With flowing lines and sliding doors as walls, work can continue while the other family members can move freely through and use the other spaces in the apartment without interference.
