The Design
About Framed Sanctuary न्यूनतम आवासीय भित्री भाग
फ्रेम्ड स्यान्चुअरी एक न्यूनतम भित्री डिजाइन हो जसले ४० वर्ष पुरानो अपार्टमेन्टलाई शान्त, चिन्तनशील बसोबास स्थानमा रूपान्तरण गर्दछ। १.५ सेन्टिमिटरको स्टिल फ्रेमले पर्खाल बिना स्थानिय सीमाहरू परिभाषित गर्दछ, जसले प्रकाश र हावालाई स्वतन्त्र रूपमा बग्न दिन्छ। कंक्रीट, काठ र एकवर्णीय टोनहरूले सामग्रीको विपरीतता र संवेदी गहिराई बढाउँछन्। पुनर्संरचित लेआउटले दिनको प्रकाश पहुँच, आवागमन र स्थानिय स्पष्टता सुधार गर्दछ, जसमा फ्रेम गरिएका दृश्यहरू र दैनिक क्रियाकलापहरूमा केन्द्रित छ। यो परियोजनाले घना शहरी परिवेशमा शान्त तर आकर्षक वातावरण सिर्जना गर्न संरचना, खालीपन र प्रकाशलाई जोड दिन्छ।

- Unique Properties
- This project reimagines a 40 year old apartment into a minimalist sanctuary. Monochrome materials black steel, concrete, and oak are integrated with precision, forming spaces that feel both structured and calm. Light flows through reconfigured openings, enhancing spatial clarity and emotional comfort. Without traditional partitions, the home invites reflection, reading and peaceful daily living through considered composition and material warmth.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The interior space covers 110 square meters. Key materials include 1.5 cm square steel frames, brushed concrete surfaces, oak wood flooring, and fluted tiles. The lightweight metal frame system is securely wall mounted and engineered to support heavy objects while maintaining a minimal visual presence.

- Production Technology
- The project required precise engineering to integrate steel, concrete, and wood with seamless connections. A 1.5 cm steel frame was custom fabricated to be lightweight yet load bearing. Wall integration, anchoring systems, and surface junctions were resolved through prototyping and testing. The outcome is a structure that supports both aesthetic clarity and technical reliability within a minimalist framework.
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge was integrating ultra-slim 1.5 cm steel frames that are both visually light and structurally strong. Achieving seamless connections between materials metal, concrete and wood required extensive prototyping. The project also overcame challenges in optimizing daylight within a poorly lit 40 year old layout, requiring total spatial reconfiguration under government renovation regulations.
- Research
- This design is based on applied design research aiming to transform old apartment layouts for modern minimalist living. Qualitative research included spatial behavior studies and lighting simulations. Physical prototypes and material stress tests were conducted to refine the metal framework. The result is a structurally optimized and visually calm environment, which promotes both spatial clarity and emotional well being. The research contributes to adaptive reuse practices in urban housing design.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the Japanese concept of Ma, this project explores the balance between structure, emptiness, and light. Natural light becomes a compositional element, casting shifting shadows across raw concrete and warm wood. A 1.5 cm metal frame defines spatial boundaries without walls, while material transitions emphasize quiet beauty. The result is a spatial sanctuary where simplicity supports reflection and everyday rituals.
- Project Duration
- The project began in November 2023 in Taipei, Taiwan, and was completed in July 2024 after eight months of structural redesign and interior construction.
- Operation Flow
- Residents move freely through the open plan living, kitchen, and reading areas. The space naturally guides the user through light, texture, and material transitions. Custom built elements such as the metal frames and furniture are positioned to define function zones without physical barriers, encouraging fluid, intuitive interaction.
