The Design

About Bounteous Mind and Life Retail Interieurontwerp

Bounteous Mind and Life is een retail interieurontwerp gelegen in Xindian, New Taipei City, Taiwan. Een appartementengebouw met drie verdiepingen werd gerenoveerd tot een meditatieruimte die openstaat voor het publiek. Het ontwerp put uit de Japanse esthetiek van schaduw, theeceremonie en tempelcultuur. Langgerekte lijnen en de geur van thee stimuleren de zintuigen en creëren een rustige sfeer. Een verticale route leidt bezoekers door gelaagde ruimtes die verschillende levensfasen weerspiegelen. Het project beslaat 380 vierkante meter en werd voltooid in februari 2022.

Production Technology
Interpreting Japanese aesthetics of shadows, tea ceremony, and Taoist culture, stimulating sensory receptivity with shadows and the road of pilgrimage with moving lines, metaphorizing various life states, inspiring self-reflection on life pursuits in the dark, and the rebirth of old buildings, opening up a simple way to explore the soul.
Design Challenge
The base is a three-floors apartment in Xindian, New Taipei City. Most of the surrounding areas are old dormitories of the National University. When old houses were converted into new apartments, this particular case could not be renovated for a long time, and we resolutely invested in renovation and incorporated the image of meditation. Creating a meditative space open to the public to the Zen of life in the city.
Research
Creating a vertical access road, leading citizens to reflect on nature of life and the environment. Exterior infers wabi-sabi with simplicity, interior with darkness; urging to observe soul state. Create retreat spot, for uplifting meditation, give opportunity devote to a dialogue with yourself.
Inspiration
The design of new buildings and the renovation of old buildings serve the same purpose. The core concepts are to restore urban functions, improve the landscape, enhance public interests. How should architects feel about a construction that is on the verge of being more standardized? Our proposal is to reflect on life and its end, mirroring the transcendental mind in shadows.
Project Duration
This Project is finished in February 2o22 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
In addition to strengthening old buildings, it also gives new meanings to create a spatial level of meditation in the city and the sublimation of spiritual values.
